Ive been offered a rusty old T18 for free and was wondering if theres anything worth pulling off them ie. sway bars, suspension, engine?. I know the diffs are compatable but thats it. I dont know if it has an LSD but chances are not likely Im thinking otherwise ill be one happy camper . http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/laugh.gif

only a rumour but apparantly gearboxes will bolt up to 4a's as long as you use the 4a bell housing, they are also supposed to be better geared ratio wise. I have seen one in the flesh and they look exactly the same. but don't quote me on that. but if it does fit tell all every one i told ya!! http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/tongue.gif

if its free take it the diffs alone can fetch $300

if you do get it let us know if its got chrome bumpers cause i'll buy em off you

pull the front struts out, diff and gearbox, then advertise the rest as a rolling shell for $200 http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I should be getting it this week somtime, hopefully. So I should get the rear end. And the front suspension an gearbox would only be good for T18 parts an I wont worry ya? Is there any parts anyone wants from it that I should pull off?
