Toyota Supra 3.9 diff stripped ready for shot blasting and powder coating. Then uprated LSD kit from Weir Performance . The diff was tested for torque load before stripping and it was only 30 ft-lb which is a bit low . After the Weir kit it should take it up to a 100 torque load which should be more than enough for road and track use .

Need to cut 2 bits off the diff to give it more clearance for the exhaust .
(Marked with a blue line in the above pic )

I had to order some extra nuts as my diff came bare so I had to order
12 x M10 x 1.25 flanged nuts for the driveshaft flange adaptors
2 x M12 x 1.25 flanged lock nuts for the MK Diff Bracket
1 x M12 x 1.25 80mm long Stud also for the MK Diff Bracket
I'm racing this weekend so it'll be next weekend before I get it fitted mate
