as posted elsewhere my diff cried like a baby...

Starspec 265s were no where near good enough to handle our cam/heads ls3.. so we had some 285 rs3s laying around and slapped them on the rear. Since they were new had to do a safety burnout to clean off the tires. Yeah bad idea...

Burned 1st, went for 2nd let the clutch out then bang akine to the sound of a 45 going off. now the carnage.

Rear cover is cracked, giant holes on both sides... can visaully inspect the whole innards. hinson ppf with a banzai diff brace modded onto it. Ls3 with around 460 whp + gobs of torque. byebye diff





Soo time for minor cosmetic things! Put these on,.

Here's a video of the diff destroying burnout... It doesn't seem like much but if you listen carefully you can hear a pop at 0:08.

Been working on polishing up all the minor things on the car. Loomed alot of the harness and been freshening up the exterior.

Plasti-diped all the carbon. Was doing this to protect it from the sun and be reversible, turned out better than expected!

The inside of the bumper's wrap was coming up a little so plasti-diped that as well, I also put my feed turn/fog combo on it
