yeah Il probably go if I fix my diff moving problem.. I gotta check my diff mounts tmrw. It seems to be loose. I think i might have broken a diff mount. It moves when I shift hard or clutch kick. I used to chirp tires shifting hard now it just moves the diff instead.. anyone have any ideas what it could be? its not the differential itself forsure, it has to do with w/e is holding the diff to the chassis..

yeah dk, sounds like a diff mount problem. If you hear a knock in the rear when you shift or kick your clutch, it's gotta be the diff mount.

Definitely sounds like a diff mount. Just prop the back up and look for cracks in the mounts, and that will confirm it.

found the problem. I guess because of the last 3 events, the vibration loosened the diff mounts nuts[the ones by the driveshaft].. Its missing one nut. I re tightened the rest, and now its fine.. I also removed the rear sway bar, and soften the rear dampening.. Hopefuly this will whelp tmrw!

yeah but i guess its with good intentions...

oh renton, they told me we can used that blk electrical tape to cover your battery wires.

that might be a super cheap way to check that off.

hehe

hopefully i'll make it out tonight


as for your tires as long as they dont look like they're gonna blow im sure it's fine
umm don't bee like riding on wires instead of rubber and them sidewall's best not have bubbles

prone to pop...


but yeah it's your car soo umm do what you think is best.
