Cleaning out some stuff that i'll likely never use, location is Indy.

First up is a TRD Japan E153 diff. I bought this in.... early 2008? Was going to use it in a Solara V6 trans for the Celica that i've since sold. At the time of purchase i was told it had 11k miles on it. This is NOT just a factory diff. Has been sitting in my living room for the last 5 years, so it's a little dusty.

I'd like to see $500 shipped CONUS for it.

Also have a set of 15x7 5x114 Pentas. Machined lip, black spokes. I'm not 100% sure on offset, but i think it's around the +30-35 area. I can check for sure later this week.

I'm almost positive these say Ronal on them. I'm going to have to double check to make sure, will add pictures. But for now, here's an awful picture.

I have no idea what to ask for these, so i'm going to start at $500 + shipping. If anyone local-ish wants to pick them up, i'll take $75 off if i get a set of 15" 5x114 steelies in trade.

Also have an Apexi S-AFC. $150 shipped CONUS.

I love Pentas. It's almost enough to make me wish I had a car with 5x114.

To make this real depressing... here's another picture of them.

Yes.... this IS the same car.

What would the diff fit into? ie: 74 Corona Mk II

Anything with an E153 transmission in theory. It was in a V6 Solara trans, which is an E153.

Other cars with E153s are some V6 Camrys, and MR2 Turbos are probably the mostly likely to want this thing.

Sooo... if you want to make a MR Corona, this is what you need.

More pics of the Ronals! (They are in fact Ronals.)

15x7 5x114 +35.

No bends, only one has any curb rash at all, no cracks. These are dirty, but in great shape. Even the paint doesn't have any major blemishes, just some minor chipping/scuffing around where the center caps would have been. (I don't have caps, not sure if they had caps at any point?)

The lips are dirty and oxidized. A good buffing/polishing will bring them back.

This is the only one with any curb rash at all. (Bad picture, i'm sorry.) Rash is very mild.

Bump with more information on diff.

I was duped, this is not a TRD diff. This is an OEM MR2 Turbo LSD.

Dropping price accordingly to $300 shipped CONUS.

Pics.
