If you want to run a MZ3 spec rear end on your ti you just need the MZ3 trailing arms. Your ti sub frame works fine.
The M trailing arms are heavier. I do not believe there is any difference in the sub frame between the ti and the MZ3 other than the exhaust hangars.
Any bushings that will fit the MZ3 rear sub frame, trailing arms, or differential will also fit the ti. |
Yeah, I wish I had more pictures!
When I installed the new sub frame, I did take pictures but the film was damaged (it was quite a while ago- remember film?)
Anyway, another piece of evidence is that the parking brake cables are
just a bit too short to use on the roadster sub frame when installed in the ti. All the cable clips transfer right over (all holes are drilled in the same place) but if you clip the cable in, it pops out of the clips. I had to use ty-wraps to secure it in my car. This could be driven by the brake arrangement being slightly different, but it is not very different at all really, so I think it is the slight increase in girth of the sub frame and trailing arms.
