+1 on a refill and running it more.

I refilled with some off the shelf diff fluid to see if it would make a difference. At first I thought it did but nope, the sound is still there. I should mention it's not only a sound, you can actually feel the cars acceleration back off a bit too, so it's not just a let r buck situation. I just got done dropping the diff, will be bringing it in to get looked at on Thursday. In the mean time, I have a spare one coming that I'll swap in to see if the sound goes away. Spare one won't have LSD but that's OK, it'll just be my spare for times like this or if I grenade one at the track or whatever.

or if I grenade one at the track or whatever.
I approve of these implications.

So in the mean time while I'm waiting for the new diff, decided to work on the rear brakes. The 16" FD rims I picked up as my poor mans drag setup didn't clear the calipers by a nut hair. So I ground a couple spots down on the calipers ever so slightly. Then primed and painted them to match the fronts I did a couple years ago. Here's how the sit now drying. Then they'll get the Supra stickers and some coats of clear, and then back on the car!

open for street, and have the lsd welded and swap it in at the track. or rebuild the lsd and weld the open one for the track.

I'm confused, why would I want open rather than LSD on the street? I just want one rear end installed, don't want to swap them out for street/track. Just one installed, and a back-up if it were to ever grenade.

Rear Calipers back on.

The new diff showed up. I slapped a coat of primer then a coat of black on it to clean it up. Will try to get it mounted up in there over the next couple days.

Also just a quick snap of the FD wheels that will become my poor man drag wheel setup.
