Re: Finally a real rwd option is in the works

Wait you're saying your shifter won't work not unless you have this style of w58 from the later supras, right?

Re: Finally a real rwd option is in the works

Re: Finally a real rwd option is in the works

Very nice sir, I would like to see how you did your shift box, I have to move my shifter too and haven't figured a good way to do that yet. Also I found the speedo cable from a 80s supra clipped in like factory into the Subaru speedo, it just happened to be the perfect length for my car, not sure ho...

Re: Finally a real rwd option is in the works

it's just all going to depend how you drive it really.

Re: Finally a real rwd option is in the works

yeah it kind of sucks with the Rs because it was only in a truck, so you are limited to one set of gear ratios, which actually isn't to far off from the subarus. at least with the Ws you get a couple different gearing selections depending on what you get them from. i got mine from a celica/supra, so...

Re: Finally a real rwd option is in the works

sadly the 154s have a longer input shaft then the Ws and the 150/151s and because of that it wasn't going to work. we had talked about making a spacer to take up the extra room so someone could run a 154, so it's not out of the question. this just fits the "masses". it's a rwd or 4x4 trann...

Re: Finally a real rwd option is in the works

Looking real good! Hows the fit, input shaft alignment, etc? Also, what is used for a pilot bearing? as this was built by someone that loves to do this kind of stuff and has been making some awesome bell housings for years, i see no issues with any kind of alignment issues. as for the fit, mine isn...

Re: Finally a real rwd option is in the works

That is awesome!! Nice work For what its worth, i have a spare W58 i ran in a third gen supra. Those transmissions are really nice, held up 350 HP abuse no problem. R154's are super strong too. and the most i'm ever going to put to it is a frankenmotor ej25. and maybe some day a light turboed motor...

well not off to casting just yet. but he's doing the last smoothing and finishing before it does go off. bottom of page 5

i don't think he really realizes how many of these he will probably sell. fortunately i'm at the top of the list. :)
