Well, as some may have read in the Melb Mini-meets thread, my car came off a little broken after losing control and sliding around into a gutter. Stupid mistake, i was being a clown, learnt a lesson. I'll quote what i said in the other thread (i'll quote it down the bottom after the pics) to save me telling it again. Luckily, i had just put "lows" in the back instead of my usual "super-low" springs, so the body never hit the gutter.
Here are some pics that show the rear damage, but i have none of the front 1/4 panel. Here's one of the gutter (below). Looks like i wasn't the first to go through it, my one is the bit on the right, you can see the freshly broken concrete, with oil off to the side. Oh, and the picture is deceiving, the gutter is almost a foot high. Short story: Quote:

InitialD, i'll chat to ya in a couple of days re: the EB diff you have, i may need some stuff.

yeah that sucks..been there and done that. Its alot worse when you fudge the front end up; I had a qoute from pedders; $2500..no thanks
I ended up getting the e-series gang to help me out; Karl, Wayne and an unnamed expert did it for me for less than half that. Good luck with it. Its sucks because you know how aviodable it was. You should hunt around for a 3.45 lsd, its a good excuse!

Before this goes any further.
the mention of Melb minimeets in the initial post does NOT mean this event happened at a eseries meet. The discussion on why onereded wasnt going to be attending the next one was that his car was damaged, no other reason.

Dan, neil101, thanks heaps for the offers but i've already sourced an entire diff to replace mine. Not an LSD dammit, but it was cheaper than one. |
