[Supras] Rear end upgrade for MKII

[Dave Henry]

I haven't swapped the mkiv diff into anything, but I do know that they are 
extremely strong.  BL has run a couple 7 sec passes on theirs (with an auto) 
and several 6-speed guys are in the 8's.  I think that a lot of them switch 
to the TRD lsd but I think thats more of a safety item rather than strength 
(torsen isn't as good for going straight).  I've ran the TT auto diff to low 
9 sec passes and mine was completely stock.  Anyway, post up some pics of 
your beast now that it's done!

:-)
