correct

[hara_kiri]

heres a pic of my 86 with the f series in, not shortend etc

the rims on the rear are 14x7 +something, like nothin dish or low offset, skid rims and they sit there

also those guards are flared

so yea it sits out further

$100 is an extremely rare deal. $150-$350 is normal price range.

I think telling ppl you have a locked F series in your car for under $200 is leading them towards disappointment. It's not really a repeatable price is it.

I charge $350 if you give me 2 bare housings (an s series for brackets and a E or F series). I then give you back one perfectly modded hybrid housing. Charge is less if you cut the brackets off yourself as this takes hours. $50 for centre locking process (Tig welded - hi penetration spatter free).

[Big T]

^^^^ $350 is a good price too considering the amount of work involved doing one of these properly. Most diff shops will normally charge $400 and upwards fpr a mount swap.

For a Tarago diff, i wouldn't want to pay more than $250 seeing as they're not the perfect width sprinter diff plus they're harder to adapt disk brakes to. A mk2 diff i would easily pay $350 for if they could be found.

[hara_kiri]

ah i must have got a good deal then

i need handbrake cables for a f series if anyone has any too haha

[SNAP]

so what is the track width of an F series? and is their a diff similar that can be found that doesnt have to have the track shortened?

Big T do u mean Mk2 as in one from an EFI Yr22 tarago? the bigger of the 2 diffs

[steroidchickens]

Mark 2 corona F series diff is the same width as stock ae86. very rare.
i ended paying $500 for a whole mark 2 corona than taking the diff out than taking the shell to metal recyclers for $100.

[SNAP]

how do u tell if its a Mk11 corona ?

[steroidchickens]

it has mark 11 on the rear quarter panel.
you have to check the axle code on the compliance plates to make sure it is an F series model.

[SNAP]

any other tell tail signs that its a mk11? year model? car model code.. st? cs? ect

[SNAP]

dam double post

[Anthony]

It's a totally different car. It's a "sportier" corona sold as a mk 2 in Japan. It's a japanese built car (fully imported like an 86) so it has a proper toyota diff in it not borg warner like almost all other coronas. has a fastback shape. probably not toyotas best effort in the styling dept.

Like AE71 has borg warner (aussie built) and ae86 has toyota s series (jp built).

I hunted around for one of these for my first F diff too but now I would just go YR22 as the extra 20mm opens up a lot of wheel options without the need for bolt ons.

[SNAP]

thanks anthony, problem is the wheel im after i want some decent dish, i was going for -25 -26 offset with hand flared guards, so i may get shafted with the extra 20mm..

[johl]

i have an e series that im looking to get rid of. will give u a donor s series diff for mounts and also r31 disk brake conversion also.. pm if ur interested

[hara_kiri]

u dont have the shorten it down, i didnt, i am jus gonna flare my guards out more and get less wider rims and not as low ofset

heres the rims im gettin in

and i will still have flared guards, they'll jus stick out a bit, which is the jdm way, so u can still have dish and width etc

[steroidchickens]

after all the fussing of getting the mark 2 diff. i dont think it was worth it. i was running 25mm spacers with my work equips anyway.
you will struggle to find a mark 11 diff. and if you do it may only be the E series diff as come of them come out with an E series.

now that would suck looking all round for and F series and get a mk 11 with an e series..

the main thing is that what eva diff needs to be able to take a mech center and handle over 200kw's

now sure if an e series fits that catagory
