A custom forged bottom end on your car would probably be $2000 to $3000 before labor and after market camshafts.

Default LSD & Final Gear
We recently tested successfully a new KAAX LSD and final gear. Info on the gear specs will be posted on our team site: rallyxd.com This is a true closed diff regardless of traction. The pair of upgrades really helped our new Greddy turbo at the last race event in Oregon.

Why didn't they have the big wing on at OTR? I knew something was missing when I saw it at the Slate.

The custom spoiler was "contested" and ends up being illegal due to specifics in the rule book. Funny how someone would be worried about our spoiler when we're clearly still underpowered. We're making some changes to it so it can be ran on the stages legally.

XDev - good question about the LSD on Autos. let me ask Kaaz and let you know.

thanks rally, i still would like to see more pics of the turbo and any other parts you guys have installed (down pipe,turbo manifold, turbo itself). i read somewhere u have a Greddy catback or is it just the spectrum elite axleback. im really looking forward to a turbo kit for the D. definitly would open the golden doors for more aftermarket support.

I can't answer that right now. Since the kit we have right now is still custom...i would have to say that it's specific to the manual. I'll check with greddy and let you know. I think it's safe to assume that if a kit came out for this, it would be applicable to both a/t and m/t.

You guys did great! When's the next race? Also any info on that clutch from ACT? Maybe they could find us a lightened flywheel while they're at it! Our flywheel Toyota part number is 13405-37050. Thanks again for racing with the D!
