Saturday morning after a disappointing night of cards. Ryan, Andrew and I finally took some serious action towards the upcoming season. I’ve been invited to display the car at the World of Wheels next weekend in the CSCC booth, so the plan was to finish cleaning the 86 up and get it running. Unfortunately, after a few months in storage and a few minor part changes, we can’t keep it running. In past years we’ve always wanted to get our cars to this show and it hasn’t happened. At this point it doesn’t look like this year will be any different.
We also took the time to rip the Soarer out of storage, and investigate the mystery of the cars factory stamped axle-code contradicting the TRD catalog. The firewall stamp calls for a 7.5″ diff, where as the TRD catalog specs an 8″ unit, shared with the MA70. We pulled the rear end out today, which was a bit of an awkward event and revealed that the car does indeed have a 12 bolt 7.5″ rear end. Now… where can we find an LSD?
