Ordered some new toys.. have a question about something...
Ordered Lex's 2800 TC, UPS should be bringing it any minute now....
Also found a 4.27 LSD from Livesc, that he found from some guy on supraforums, so he shipped that out today..
Think I'm going to wait and have them both installed at the same time..
My question is, once I get the LSD, he said it may have fluid in it... what service has to be done to install the TC and the LSD? Do I need fluids or anything? I've been bringing my parts to my mechanic and he's been installing everything but I need to bring him the fluids and items to use.
And is there a part number I can have the service/parts at toyota look up to make sure it IS a 4.27 LSD from the supra? just before i screw things up royally..
BFI, spraying my calipers black, and the LS4 calip.'s, are all on my future down the road mod-list. Followed by the S-AFC, with more research, and some other misc items I found.
Now that the rain is gone, I need to find some pavement to test out the tokico blus and the diazen sways..

As for the LSD, call Carson Toyota and ask for Gordon (#310.522.2300). He can look up the exact part number for you for comparison purposes
...then we have to go for a spin

I'm really interested to see how much quicker off the line your car is after all of this stuff...

You will have a hard job getting to the TC without removing the tranny!!!
When they remove the tranny they will lose some fluid, and then the torque convertor will be holding some also. Tell them not to reuse the old stuff - a good a time as any for some new stuff.
Remember to get your fluid from Toyota and not from Lexus - Lexus charges a couple of dollars more.
I think when I just removed my TC and installed it I ended up using close to 10 gallons when all was said and done,
Good Luck,'
