    Nothing else needed doing as it was a fairly new low miles box. Viggens usually need a little more attention.

    We got this all done between Noon and 6 Thurs, and 7am and 1pm or so Friday. The box itself was rebuild by the end of the first day.

    I've driven a VW Scirocco before and after a Quaife install and the difference is phenomenal indeed. I hope you have a good source for axles!

    I had my first chance to test this out on my mom's driveway covered in snow. Previosly I would have been lucky to make it to the 2nd turn. But I made it all the way to the house. Traction Controll needs to be turned off. The system was trying to cut my power to the point of stalling the car. But with it off I was able to fight my way up a very steep, curvy and snow covered driveway yesterday. I did have 3 passengers so more testing without the weight in the car is needed.

    Probably hard to tell because you did everything at once, but how do you like the poly subframe bushings and SASs?
    Did the poly bushings make shifting any better? You have a GS short shifter? Put a new clutch in at the same time?
