Pics of my differential's damage
Ok I only got one so far cause of a full memory stick but i'll get more tomorrow when i empty it out...
Check out the hole!
If you want the story....

At least everything else is fine and since i'm doing it myself on my back in the garage i'm saving some $$...not as bad as i thought it would be. Removal in 2 stages took me about 4 hours.
More to come, stay tuned! lol

Local guy did that too, on the burnout/tire warmup pad at the track. He replaced with a Kaatz. He did it one year after blowing an engine in the same place (burnout/tire warmup pad).
And he wondered why I don't race (because it's too expensive!)

I'm getting a stock replacement tomorrow...I wanted to get a t2 diff but I dont have time or $$ to get it rebuilt plus i needed a housing or at least the cover(i wasnt sure if there was any additional damage inside) so I decided to do the safe thing and get a stock fd unit. Sure i'm gonna have to back off quite a bit but i had to get the car back on the road quick!!!

I'm waiting for a stocker for just to get me on the road again 'till i can afford a bulletproof unit.
I think the lsd unit itself is garbage but the ring and pinion or at least the ring gear seems in prefect shape. I might try to sell that or just use it for "research". lol
The diff did not gimme any clues or hints at all. It worked perfect! Even when i "launched it" that day. The tires chirped, there was the loud hammer on metal/gunshot boom and then silence...engine reved but no power transfer.
