4-500 including the next R&R. I paid 200 for the open differential, they will keep it and take 100 off.

My ring & pinion were set up sloppy and are ruined. Can anyone look at this and tell if it is ok?

Picked these up today. Since I already had a set can I multiply by 2 and have 8.166?

Dropped them off at the differential shop god I can't wait to get the quaife & gears back car feels awful on the stock open diff.

At first I was trying to figure out what you did, but then I saw the last pic.

What did you use to get the paint off of the rotor surface?

Differential is done. Waiting for 75-140 recommended by the diff builder to come.

They said it was 100% dialed in, gave me a break in regimen, told me to use much thicker (75W140) oil and gave me a bottle of friction modifier and want me to bring it back in 1500 miles for a check/free oil change.

I am pretty sure this time it's done right but if not it's their problem.

Friday I replaced my V1 ARTS with current models. They were replaced under warranty by Motordyne. 2 big thumbs up Tony for amazing customer service.

















Did this today.









Bigger Magnaflow is quieter and allows dual tips. Cutout is still there

Cutout closed it is quieter, feels better but the butt dyno placebo lies.

I like it because there was a cruising speed drone that is reduced.

Got the first CEL I was happy to see today:

P0128 Coolant Thermostat (Coolant Temperature Below Thermostat Regulating Temperature)

It was 47 degrees outside, coolant was 122 on the freeway oil temp at or under 100 and the light came on. I read it with my Garmin, and smiled that my cooling mods were working. Cleared it and kept going.
