GB: Toyota E153 -> BP adapter plates (CLOSED/awaiting delivery)

[therieldeal]

the plates coming back from zinc plating tomorrow, should be on a truck tomorrow or thursday. i should have them in hands by the middle next week.

i'm going to try and stay late at work during the week packing them all up and doing shipping labels etc... worst case i'll finish that up over the weekend so everyone's plates should ship by 3/8 at the latest.

*plates receiving powdercoating may be delayed by a few additional days

Maybe he lost a gerbil.

[scottx3]

lol. its s figure of speech.

[SgtRauksauff]

Well, I got one on the way actually. the 4WD one. trans, diff, axles, shifter, cables, and driveshaft.

I'm thinking the FWD one might be a little easier to come by...

[therieldeal]

the plates should be here sometime today. i've been extremely swamped w/ work this week (was here till 7:30 last night) so packing them up and doing all the shipping labels may have to wait until the weekend. will get it done ASAP though!!3

PS: good news i found out last week - MFactory now sells an LSD for this trans!! same price as the g-series LSD!! Listed under "Toyota MR2 3S-GTE", should be a 100% drop in for any FWD E153. I'm running an MR2 quaife in my camry trans. Not sure about the MFactory diff, but for the quaife i had to purchase new ring gear bolts and speedo gear & circlip specifically for the 93-95 MR2 Turbo w/factory lsd. They are slightly different when compared to the open-diff parts... dealer can get them no problem though.

PS: i am going to send MFactory a quick email to confirm which bolts and speedo gear design they used

[KaleoXtreme]

Sweet! I really wanted an MFactory diff. Espacially since I got a G series with the GB and now I can't use it, lol. Do I smell a E153 MFactory diff group buy?

[therieldeal]

if you or someone else wants to try and organize a GB with them, PM me and i'll give you Stephen's email address. i dont really have time to organize another GB at the moment
