    It's true. That kitfox had all the great attributes of a piper cub with carbon cub + performance. We got super low in the Snake River Canyon and did some practice 180 course reversals. The full span, flying ailerons had no loss of authority at speeds as low as 55 mph. 150' ground roll on dirt T/O and landings. If you guys are ever near Boise it would be worth a couple hundred bucks just to go flying with the owner. Plane is $135/hr, instruction is another $55/hr.

      Someday...

      The Kitfox as of now looks like the airplane I'd build if I had the space. 800 lb useful load if you build it right!

        I think my diff is fucked, weird noises are coming from the rear at low speeds and the whole car vibrates like crazy on the highway, anyone have a medium case lsd?

            For $400, I could be persuaded to pull the 4.10 out of my car for you...

            But like Sam said, have you checked the half-shafts, CV joints, and/or center support bearing first?

                  If your CV boot is ripped and has been for some time, the joint is probably bad.

                  I got two good used axles E30 for under $100 on http://car-part.com/

                        My car was a paint correction + opti-seal experiment to see how it behaves on single stage paint.

                        When I lived in my apartment I swear they used fertilizer in the sprinkler system. They also watered the parking lot more then the grass. I had a nice layer of paint eating grime that needed to come off now that I have my own place where the car is more protected. To give you an idea of how bad it was, he had to use the polisher to remove it from the windows as it even stuck to glass where chemicals wouldn't take it off. After the paint correction he touched up a few problem areas with paint and then opti-sealed it with product that I supplied. He also polished the wheels off of the car, opti-sealed them, painted brake calipers black, trim restore, rubber restore, etc. You will have to call him on price estimates as it varies from car to car. I had no wax/sealant applied because the opti-seal replaces that.
                        M3 is getting the same treatment next week. 10 years ago I would have kicked my own ass for paying someone to detail my car...now I don't have the time or patience! Hope it turns out good. Also got new toyo r888 tires ordered to mount on 16" e28 m5 wheels.
