ke 70 corolla

ahhh the old dx!!!!!!!!

what rear end does this thing have in it?
i heard the have the same as an AE86????
diff head and all that the same?????????

[spencer]

na not the same ae86 has T series, your dx will have S or U series i think not to sure but wont be same as ae86 anyway

pretty sure the mounts are all the same though so you should be able to put an ae86 rear end (with disc brakes and lsd) straight in, i think the driveshaft length might be wrong though but i'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to sort. pretty hard to find those ae86 rear ends now though, they go for some decent coin when you do see them

all the mounting points are identical and depending on the output splines on the box, the standard AE70/85 driveshaft will fit, or else the TT132 corona wagon driveshaft.
the other option is the Celica diff which has the same centre but will need an adjustable panhard rod as the mounting point is different.

i have both types available, but freight costs may be prohibitive.

the te71 corolla with the 1600cc 2t or 2tgeu have a very similar diff to the ae86. this is what the person was sayin.
you can unbolt one and swap it for the other.
same T series 6.7" head. some ae86 have a longer stud at the bottom of head but it can be changed to suit.
the jdm te71 GT or levin and trueno with the disk brake T series diff have same axles as the early ae86. later ae86 have fatter T series axles. the diff housing as far as i know are same. drum brake axles have smaller bearing and not interchangeable.
calipers are different... different way the calipers slide... not sure of correct names... but ae86 have the two pins and rubber boot over em for the caliper to slide.. sim to ae82/ae82 type. whereas te71 calipers slide with plates.
the driveshaft for the 6.7" diff are shorter than a ke/ae70 U or S series diff and have larger uni's. the bigger diff head are obviously longer on the T so the driveshaft are therefore shorter.
the ma45 mk1 celica/supra have a disk brake diff similar to te71 but a bit wider... mounts, axles etc are wider but axles can be shortened to fit a te71 housing.. cut like 7mm off the splines disk is 1" bigger tho and caliper is taller to fit.
you can bolt a te71 or ae86 diff into a ke70 but handbrake cables will need changing to suit and consider the driveshaft. i believe the S series 6.38" diff can interchange driveshaft to the T but U series 6" diff has a smaller locating ring and will wobble all over da place.
