Glad to hear you are sticking with it Jon, and good to see you\'ve uncovered some issues which had lain hidden from view. Hopefully fairly easy to fix and will restore your confidence in the car when done.

re japi

Seems like pulling that diff off was good idea. Lots of damage on mounts allready. :/ How long they have been on car, without service?

Btw, what diff is that, s2?
Power is nothing without control. Weight is enemy of performance, handling and braking.

re japi

You should weld reinforcements to it. Those diffs bends under heavy load. But be carefull when welding, it can bend from heat. :)
