Gearbox is T series, diff looks like a T as well. Count the bolts holding the diff into the housing, should be 10
1988 KE70 Wagon - Slowly rusting
1990 NA6 MX-5 - because reasons
2018 Ranger - Because workcar
1997 FD3S RX-7 Type R - all brap, all the time
OMG so shiny!

car has got a few random bits on it so thought the diff could have been anything, most likely AE86 i guess
might have to start an axle collection...

There is a post on Club K in the FAQ section of the way to measure and identify the different Starlet diffs as well as S, D and T series I think.

The brake lines don't look mounted properly. They would usually be mounted to the back of the axle housing and not with cable ties.

haha nothing wrong with cable ties :P
they're not the standard caliper so i guess the factory mount doesn't work, also has a wilwood pedal and proportioning system so maybe something different relating to that
