Lol Khalil you have seen my car at DIY day 2!

Delvance a manual is much better. There is so much more omph!. Although my new LSD locks very aggresively and need to bed in rotors and brakes. Now running DBA 4000s with DS2500 pads. hehehe. Just the unichip in to go and some new interior bling and I will totally happy.

thats unusal, I dont remember you from the DIY day 2, im not sure I've even met you before

I think I remember your fto though, you had it for sale on here a while back, i think.

where can i see more photos of that fto in bushido's display?

Sweet! What was the wrap up? How did they get it all to fit?

Ben I had the gearbox rebuilt and the bell housing for the LSD mounts milled a few mms ($250) to accomodate the cusco lsd ($800). New bearings with a sleeve fitted for strength. Had custom made hemispheres, acid cleaned the box, reassembled ($550). Ben style custom driveshafts ($1000). Old gearbox end coupling didnt work ($800). lots of driveshafts didnt work ($$$$). Paid $5500 on saturday morning, then off to nrma for greenslip ($470). re regoed ($249). rotors + pads ($1200)

And now back on the road. After 6 l o n g months and almost 10 grand later ( ) I have it back.

Clutch type lsd is very noisy and is very aggressive. steering fights you for control.

Oh anyone know where I can get LS90 mineral based diff oil. read on here that it may soften if not eliminate the noise?

Waiting for the wiseman ferry run to give it some. Hopefully unichip will be in by then.

So what's under the hood?
Im curious why everyones drolling?

I must have missed the intro to this...

Its just a 6A12 Mivec, but its got all the good bits bolted onto it now Limo diff, intake, exhaust, brakes, Buddy Clubs etc etc. Oh & its just been converted from tip to manual in a very long & painful process.
