E38A E39A

[3 pebbles]

Whats the difference between E39A and E38A Galants? Adeliade jap imports have lsd centres for the e39a galant for 850, So what car/ diff will this fit? (4 bolt or 3 bolt?)

e38a are RS's (early)
e39a are normal

im pretty sure

3 bolt / 4 bolt depends (not sure)
but i think the 4 bolts are off the late model rs's.. which could be e39a's??

maybe 38's refer to the 88 models

E38a's are strictly Rally Spec.

You'll find 4-bolts on the facelift (10/89+) RS, EVO and Monte Carlo VR4's, Which are all 3.909, the older RS's are still E38a, but are 3-bolt 3.545.

My understanding was that the e39a's do have RWS, and the e38a's don't.

Which kind of supports the argument that the RS's are the e38a's.

There are definitely later model e38a's - Jack's old VR4 street car was a 92 model and it was an e38a.

trivs rs was an e38a but it had 4ws and a 3bolt and also a 14b..

dont even think it had a 3.9 ratio box

but it did have no electrics etc..
and it was white..

Correct the EARLY/FIRST of the RS's had those, then i guess they broke bits and revised the RallySpec versions for Homogliation (shit)
