the diff works great, my cornering is much tighter. im still waiting on the speedo from a friend since it says im going 60 when everyone else is going about 45.

other than that, im also waiting on the rebuilt axles from metrix motorsport, and am going to start rebuilding a pair of LCA's and wheel carriers + hub, then throw them all in together.

i am experiencing some low growling noises from the car, but I hope its just the junker wheel bearings that I am running right now.

yes, just get a manual transmission for it like this:

and do a transmission swap. that is my 5 speed in the picture, it is sitting around waiting for me to swap it in. can't wait, but i have other stuff to work on for now.
