YES! That little faint M under the fin could be our ticket to identifying these friggin torsens!
Thank you boosted blue!
But we need more proof, we need to have an open st185 see if there is no M. And we need a Torsen st185 and to verify the M.
Marty, I love having Torsen in the rear. It seems to make the car more predictable in corners. And makes it drive alittle more lika a rear wheel drive. Better for inducing throttle on oversteer.
Now c'mon guys , y'all aint playing fair .......
here i am in Australia , with a JDM st185 ,{registered as an '89 model} dont know if its built in '89 , '90 , or '91 :doh: coz it dont have the built date stamped on the plate on the firewall.....
i've read this thread a few times today and am still non the wiser :twisted: , but
i do know its a GT4 that i have ............and i've posted here coz curiosity got me , so i slid under the G'car and saw my rear diff is just like the one which ACYLON posted a pic off on pg. 5 in this thread/forum .. same plug , the #1 on the housing AND the M or 3 or 8 ???
{whichever its meant to be}
off my details {following} , what can you all tell me {and wont it be great if i get 4 diferent versions} :lol:
DETAILS :
model : E-ST185-BLMVZ
engine : 3s-gte 1998 cc
frame : ST185-0002352
color : 6K8
trim : FQ10
trans / axle : E150F - 734
plant / built : A54
And finally , according to my rego. paper , the engine number is
3S9097526
:roll: I'm tired of presuming what i have and it would be really nice if all you
"officionado's" could put your minds to work for a few minutes and find some details :wink:
i have pics in "gallery" and yes , its a narrow body , which you folk apparently dont see many off and also RHD .......
i've owned it since Dec '06 and have'nt had time to decipher it all yet ..
All i know is , when i stomp the "fast" pedal , it goes fast and i hear the "hairdryer" whistle a bit 8) {WHICH IS SOOOO SWEET} ....
When i rev to 3k at standstill on bitumen and ease the clutch , it gets up 'n' boogies with no loss of GRIPTION {aussie slang for grip & traction
}
When i do the same on gravel , i get equal wheelspin on all 4 wheels
and straightline acceleration when it grips as i plant 3rd gear
Overall , i dont mind what driveline i have as long it drags me to where i wanna go , but since you guys have so much info at hand , i figure , well , why not try and set you all a challenge to help me out
BY THE WAY , if i've posted this in the wrong spot , i apologise :shock:
