Rust is very common on these old Japanese cars. Don't pay 5K for a N/A car. Its not worth it in the long run especially if you want to hop it up. Too much money spent getting nowhere fast. Buy the turbo and repaint that fender.

Why replace the TII diff with an FD one? Isn't the TII diff stronger? I recall FD guys getting rid of their diff, and bolting on the TII diff.

unless you are throwing down some crazy numbers you the fd diff is good and you dont have to buy clutches to rebuild it or anything it acts like a posi rear end

Yeah, but the TII doesn't come with an FD diff?

I'd be sure I knew exactly what "some rust" was before I bought the car.
