Got my car back today from the mechanics and it went in to get the rear end tubbed out. I got a set of MT on it and it's going to get engineered so it can still be street driven.

Hopefully that should fix my traction problem.

Got a picture of a friends 7 but mine is tubbed the same. Got to get a camera soon.

Possible translation: Looks good. What were you running before tubbing out the rear?
