Awesome :D
225 RS3s were pretty nuts, these are only 205s (half an inch less tread in reality) but are another notch up. You need to run some serious pressure in 'em (I'm at 40psi cold right now) but like I said, my suspension feels too soft now. With the RS3s it was just about right.paint sucksComment

Haha reminds me when I swtiched from all weather tread to my Dunlop Z1 on stock suspension. All I can say is it was scary. Will be interested in how many miles those tire last you as I would like to switch to some R888 as my next set of tires.sigpicComment

Recent ex wasn't a huge fan of the car, one before that liked that I worked on it. Fuck 'em, I don't really care--this will always be a huge part of who I am, if a girl left me for it I wouldn't bat an eyelash.

I'll have to do some more logging when I have an actual alignment and the tires are warm.
Anyway: oh herro
Out with the old
Here's the new (quiet) diff
Knocking the diff bushing out of the 4.10 was a matter of PBblaster and a BFH
Filling the new diff
Aand in with the new
Here's where my driveshaft was rubbing
Off with the old CSB
On with the new
Last pic before we wrapped it up
Now my driveshaft is vibrating when I get on it hard, due to the angle. I think I am going to get new u-joints put in because they are binding and causing the bad vibes, so to speak.paint sucksComment

How do you like the 4.10? I'm going from a 4.10 to a 3.73, it seems to me that the 4.10 is a bit too short for my liking.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.
