Guru Motorsports?

I wanna ask em a question, but they direct me to their distributors...

Their only US distributor is Flyin' Miata, and they sell the Torsen LSD...

I don't want the Torsen LSD... I have one... I wanna know about the Floating axle kit...

Anyone know of any other distributors here or how to get a hold of them? Maybe someone from down under could bang on thier door for me...

I just took a look at the site and it SUCKS, for contact informoation, that is pritty shitty.

Just send an email to the distributor inquiry link at the bottom of the distributor list.

Its worth a try, you have nothing to loose.

Just go through the distributors in Australia and/or New Zealand. The owner, Rohan, is just an evil genius working in his dark lair under an extinct volcano...and I get the impression he spends some time at the track, too. He is very tight with his distributors, so it won't be a problem getting info from them. If your question can wait a couple weeks, I will ask him myself at Sevenstock. Another option is to call Rob Golden at Pineapple Racing (503-233-3878). He and Rohan spent some quality time talking shop at Sevenstock last year and, now, almost every time I visit Pineapple Racing, Rob is assembling one of those cool GURU dog box transmissions for a racing customer. Rob can probably order anything you need.

Yeah, they will be at Sevenstock. I plan on buying a diff from them as well but I'm gonna wait until our dollar gains strenth on theirs like before the war, that way it's half price!

So Guru is just a couple dudes and (a) CNC machine(s) eh? I love small companies.

I fired off an e-mail to Rob at Pineapple. Basically, the Guru hub/axle kit is advertised as having a 4 x 110 mm bolt pattern on the hubs... IIRC they got one bolt pattern on all S3 RX-7's down there, and I suspect that's it, and they never got the SE bolt pattern. (Someone confirm for me.) Was wondering if they could modify the hub for 4 x 4.5 "....

Also wanted to address an issue with differentials...

That is incorrect, they do have the se bolt pattern because there series 3's have se wheels, I believe they came on the 12a turbo cars. they should also make the kit for the gslse bolt pattern

It should be the same, I showed my friend in Australia a pic of our gsl-se and he said yup, those are the wheels that come on their series 3's.
