i had a quik look when i first went and saw it and they showed my the rust spots, which were absolutly nothing, hopefuly AA check and my mate will pick up anything else,

its done 260k but its a toyota so itll never die, its begging for some deep dish rims and to be boned, if i get it ill have to bring it to a meet.

Speaking of the 80's celicas, would this be a good/cheap project if ya ditched the IS-U and the slushbox? ... http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=87271183

On the firewall plate, there will be a code like F293 of T302 or whatever. The last digit, the 2, 3, 4, or 5 indicates LSD or not. Basically, odd numbers are LSD, evens are non-LSD.

Also the backing plate of the diff 'may' have a sticker stating "LSD oil only".

if your lucky to have an ma61 rear innit ( IRS - F series diff i think ) you can get a true trak center for them from the states , and possibly local form 4wd shops that will go into them ..

I believe toymods in OZ are having a group buy for them , or were organising them ..

I know my ma61 Supra thats still in Australia has a factory LSD , that still works lovely after 23 years !

what did they put it down on?
to be fair, you would be hard pressed to get a good report on something with 260k 25 years old. they listed it as having some rust, which is not unusual, but gets frowned upon bad in checks.
But if its something like compression etc thats fair enough

[86_rolla]

compression down on 2cyl, sway bar moutings perished, leaking oil from motor and trans etc etc, havent seen the report have just been told whats on it.
