so after promising myself that i would get an LSD for ages i finally found one reasonably priced and so i went for it

however nothing ever goes to plan and what should have been an easy afternoon diff swap turned into a month long affair! >.< the old diff looked as though it hadn't been taken out since the car was built with the stubborness that i encountered for all of the bolts getting it off. This alone ended taking two weekends worth of work until i finally got to this stage

BUT as i pulled it out i managed to snap the front diff mount in half >.<
and then to top it all off i found out that i actually had (despite what the previous owner and my reasearch said) an lsd already in there, it was just completely worn out it would have been a whole lot cheaper just to get it shimmed >.<

It was another weeks wait for the part to arrive from the US before i could finally bolt things back together.
that being said it is so worth it, the lsd just makes it grip the road much better than before and it puts a grin on my face every time!
