Wow I can't believe my eyes, that is crazy shit. Take it on some twisties with the new LSD yet then? It must feel a lot better!

Did you drive in figure 8's yet?

It's a helical LSD, no need for figure 8's ;) As far as driving the car on twisties, I've only driven it from Mark's house to home, then to work and back today. I got on it going around a couple tight 90* corners, and the rear end still steps out nicely, and feels more planted than with the welded diff since the helical LSD transfers more torque to the wheel with more grip.

I thought about just finding a whole different rear end, but the only one I knew of at the time that was available was way up in East Bethel at u-pull it, and that would have been out of a '91. I figured it was easier to just cut this one out than go lay in a puddle of mud trying to pull the one up there.

Wasn't there some sort of bad vibrations at speed? There's just so much wrong with welding it like that....haha

Surprisingly enough, it didn't vibrate or make noise or anything at speed. I couldn't believe my eyes when I popped the cover off...

It's a tight fit to the wheel...

Wow, that's a hell of an upgrade! You have a pic of the wheel with the rotor filling it up?
