    There a great rotor, Ive used them on all my cars for many years. Solid breaking, works great in street and when the going gets fun and twisty. You cant beat anything for that price!

    You'll want boost eventually. :p

    Easy way to tell if it's LSD or not. Throw some driveshafts in the differential. Put it in gear (1st or Reverse are the easiest to turn by hand). Turn one of the axles counter clockwise (clockwise if in reverse). See which way the other axle turns. If it matches, it's LSD. If not, it's open.

    So I have all the parts to reseal/tune up the motor,
    Spark plugs, water pump, front and rear cranks seal, idler bearing, oil pump seal, oil pump o ring, drive belts,
    just waiting for the timing belt and vc gasket to come in the mail. I couldve be missed something typing this us, Really not that hard at all to get "beams parts" The really only specific beams parts Ive noticed so sar are the t belt, vc gaskets , and cam seals. The rest are easy to get toyota parts. Ill get part numbers up soon for you
    another picture update
