ETS intercooler, Poly Subframe bushings, Quaife LSD, SAS sway bars.
All done at Harveys last week. Took tons of pics, but need to track down a suitable cable.
I did some hard on ramping Sat in wet weather and the traction was just scary. I had no sign of spinning tires or lack of lateral grip. I can see myself really getting into trouble if I'm not carefull.
I got to his place at noon, I had the rear swaybar out and swapped over by the time he had the gearbox on the table coming apart. We left around 6ish, with the gearbox back together, and spent the early part of Friday putting it all back together. Took some tries on the bushings, and the ETS and Oil cooler don't go back together like stock. But it call got buttoned up and is doing terrific.

I have had a Quaife LSD sitting in my garage for well over 4 years, and still haven't gotten it installed mostly due to funds.
If you don't mind me asking you, how much did installing the LSD cost ya? My transmission could really use a rebuild at some point, and I'd love to throw that in when I do that.

This was more of a trade. Harvey wanted my 5 door and this was what we settled on doing in exchange. But I know his prices are good enough it might be worth flying him to you for a weekend.

Whoa, if that's the case his prices are really good! Originally Posted by Tweek's Turbos
