well the frame isnt to bent but the front end is done, didnt reach the engine or steering tho, but now nothing fits (radiator, headlight, etc...) but i did get the welded diff on and its UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!! I never knew sliding a car could be so damn easy

But its all love from me. I still wet my pants everytime I see another fc on the road! Drive them sideways or straight 7's are still the most badass car on the road!

To bad you dont live by me dude because you sound like a rx7 homie, i got a couple rx7 buddies but they are hard to find, cuz no one really wants to learn about rotaries, which is lame, BECAUSE THEY ARE AWESOME

and i bet you didn't know getting into your driveway with a welded diff would be so damn difficult.

tight slow turns make you want to punch a baby, car jerking around like it wants to just be put out of its misery, threatening to snap an axle.

That I can agree with. I have had more than one person stop me in a parking lot to tell me that my car sounded like it was gonna fall apart! But for all us broke people a 1.5 kaaz is a little out of the price range and sliding on one wheel just dorks up your car even more and gets you made fun of. So I'll stick with welded.

problem is i see people do it on LSD differentials also, and that is just moronic since you have the carrier out and shimming it to engage harsher yet still function isn't rocket science.
