Well, spent about an 2 hrs pulling the diff out on friday night, then Dragon took over and made the solid diff mounts, put the 4.777 final gear in with the Cusco one way, then another 2 hrs to put it all back together.



Car feels real solid with the Diff/solid diff mounts. I got rid of a lot of wheel hop with the mounts I think.



The 4.777 final gear makes the car feel like it has Torque. Push the gas down and I'm moving.



Also got the techedge WideBand in...that was SO WORTH the money.



All in all, car's getting more fun to drive. Especially with the added "power"

Yes Van is very good at anything that resembles pinball..
