    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 .

    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!!

    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
