S13 LSD Rearend

Post by scogre »

Alright, I've tried searching, (I promise Alvin) but I haven't found a thread about anyone trying a S13 rear end in a roadster. Is there a reason, if I'm already doing a S13 swap, why I wouldn't want to put a S13 rear into the car?

I only ask because I found a LSD one and started wondering

confused. You mean trying to put the S13 innards into a roadster pumpkin, then getting roadster axles to mate with the S13 guts, or swapping the car to IRS?

Swapping the whole thing out. So modifying the rear end to fit the roadster

Yeah, I love the pics. I studied all the pictures. I guess my question wasn't as much on is a IRS good, but has anyone done the S13 IRS? Isn't the picture one of a Mustang onto a Roadster?

As usual, you are the master, and I humbly bow in apology. :)

I will study these images more meticulously. Thanks!

Im not seeing in the shots the installation of the shocks / springs. There is just the big hole empty hole in the upper control arms.

Im looking for that GSL-SE ALA-Spriso End for mine. On the hunt for a donor. My gut tells me you cant beat the bolt in unit they will provide. Who will help me out here? Hands down, Spriso will make the Sr fit like a glove, but I've lost track on the 3rd member....I'm saving my duckets for mine NOW!

I guess If one was going for a rotary swap as well,thats the time to buy the car. There is a gentilman down the road from me that seems to be big on RX7 and Miatas. He has about a 1/2 acre fenced plumb full of rx's and miatas. It looks as if he road races the miatas. Anyway, I hope to locate something there..Please correct me if I wrong,but I'm after the 84-5 gsl-se? Thanks for the help Alvin.
