Any recommendations for tranny shops or mechanics with fd/gearbox experience in the OC area?

My race mechanic charged me $530 for FD and LSD installation including Diff fluids

That sounds pretty darn good. Installation plus a Weir FD could probably run less than $900 for the whole kit and kaboodle installed and out the door

@RehabJeff86: Presume no compatibility issue with the FD and LSD at installation? Would be keen to know as I am looking at potentially the OS Giken LSD with the 4.8 FD. Thanks.

One of the features is that it does 0-100. When from a high 6 down to 6.34sec 0-100km(0-60) a week or two ago. Was on a not so good launch too.

Have you done anymore runs?

Yep, been in for quite a while now. Absolutely love it!

It's a Toyota CW&P but you need the matching Cusco LSD. I've got a swappable 1.5/2 way. Currently setup as a 1.5 way.

I've only done one trip to the 1/4 mile which was after the diff swap and did a 14.4 on the standard 16" tyres. 60' time was 2.2. 97mph.

60' 2.2 seconds at 97mph!?!?!?! da fuck that seems a bit off

Theres a period between 2.2 seconds and 97mph, so I'm betting 97mph was the trap speed, not the speed at 60'.

Trap speed. Poor 60' time could include the shift from 1st to 2nd.

When I install his mfactory 4.56. Should I break it in first?

Lonewolf · 10-28-2014, 11:34 PM

Reading through this thread I am surprised more do not have this 4.55-4.77 final drive mod as it seems for NA guys to be an awesome upgrade to do after a header and a tune/OFT...

86•BRZ · 10-28-2014, 11:35 PM

It's an invisible mod so most don't like it

troek · 10-28-2014, 11:58 PM

i want to do it, but im too afraid to mess up the shimming and to cheap to pay to have it done lol.

phrosty · 10-29-2014, 12:07 AM

How much would this cost to have it done for me? Seems involved
