    i use a t series rear half tail shaft and it works fine. i didnt have any problems putting in my trailing arms into the diff so the difference in spacing is virtually irrelevent. and also i didnt even notice the difference in the spring seat and they sit in there just fine. so as far as I'm concerned this diff is 100% bolt in just like a jdm diff is.

    thats an idea I have been thinking of myself, its a good idea but a hard one because theres so much bogus info on there

    maybe we should have where/who the information came from next to it and exactly was was and wasnt attached at the time

    BTW I weighted a T50 without oil, mounts and with a shifter to get 30.5kg

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Sam_Q @ May 25 2008, 12:40 PM) </div>yeah i agree, there is alot of conflicting information.

    i think the idea i had in mind, was just some approximate numbers +/-5kg, just so when people say "sr20 is to heavy and will throw out geometry", members can have a good idea on how heavy these are to make a proper decision.

    of course we will try and keep it as accurate as possible, what you think?

    yeah sounds like our best best Dave.

    the reason why I like the idea to list where the information came from if possible to help validate claims.

    In that case, Dave, those weights you took from my post in another thread, were taken from here:

    I had another look over that page, and it seems quite informative and comprehensive. Being from a Westfield club website, I'd tend to tust it as a source. If anyone's going to be weight conscious, it's Westfield/Lotus 7 people.

    thats a fair point, I that case I personally think we should make a note next to these weights to show that it came form there.

    However that T50 weigh conflicts with what I measured myself, so its either my scales are off or they are wrong.
