Lolz ya those open diffs don't know where to put the power. Dam meps then lol. I live 25 miles from base and I was still on time bob rhinehart in PA may be able too hook u up with a lsd diff to fix that traction problem. Hell if u want a full T2 setup he's sellin his for like 2500. But I know what u mean even with my 12A I had traction problems. That was till I put my LSD in. So when we gonna do this tech day stuff

My 7 is my snow car, so I took it out.

In other news, the radiator is in and the alternator is fixed.

my SRT has no diff... just the "traction control". lol

I cant decide if I wanna get rid of the FC for a cleaner one... or an FD.. or just work on this one. I doubt ill ever have money to get it done the way I want.. with the RE kit on any everything.

I am tempted to tell that dude "ill give you 2.5k cash and ill come and pick it up... " poor thing is so beat lol
yet I still feel like its better off than my FC

FDs are nice. But no ur fc is a lill better off. The twins are expensive to repair even more going to a single and if u do mods with the twins on its very hard to tune with the stock ecu. And for 4 grand there's something else wrong. Running fds sell for 10 grand easy

random question:
best method/paint to use for the exterior metal pieces? i.e. windshield wiper arms and metal trim around the windshield.

nah, I have 17x8 + 35 up front with coilovers (less space) and they fit fine with 225s on them

now I have 245s on them and I needed spacers... but only 5mm ones.

I am either doing 245 or 235 i think. so i will need spacers. I think i am going with Stance GR coilovers too. What kinda coilovers do you have on your car mike? Just wondering. How do you like it? Does the car ride smooth?

I have JIC FLT-TARs.

They're nice, but kind of pricey. They ride decently nice, they're fairly stiff though (400/337 lbs springs)

if I were to do it again I might go a different route. probably some AWR tubes, with bilstein inserts.

my corolla has koni yellows w/ ground controls and it's amazing but it's also way stiffer...

send me a pm with what you're looking for and your budget and I'll make you a few suggestions.
