Its hurts alot but Ill tell you anyways, diff $550 4.11 lsd, shortening from diffs r us, $960, and ladder bar cost me bout $460, still got no brakes and that doesnt include the month I spend stripping,sanding and painting that nuts!!! Can you feel my pain?? Better be worth it!!!
And no dont think hiluxs came disk rear but theyd be the wrong stud pattern anyway, its not hard to get the brakes on there though, just gotta make a bracket for the calipers.
Ive just been bogging and smoothing my engine bay today, fukn good fun I tell ya!!!

Yea, I did boat building for a couple of years so I do sorta know what Im up to, but now being an engineer, Id rather be weldin!!!
Be keen to know what they used for brakes, Ive got a mate with a ke30 he used honda discs and ae86 calipers, but Im guessing honda would be the go just coz of the stud pattern ay.

How much of a squeeze was it to fit the s4 box in there?
I've been thinking of using some of the 13b parts i've got/ friends have got, to put together a cheap engine for my chevette.
I also may be able to get my hands on a cheap 10a and box. Im guessing the rx3 4 speed on the 10a would be a better fit than the big series 4 box.
You're front mounting your engine to your crossmember aye?
