The diff is tops. The ratio is good for crusing around at low revs but drop
it at 2,500 and it lights the rears up and pushes the car sideways to 60kph,
fishtails into second and goes like there's no tomorrow. The old ratio
launched harder, but was was not suited for me as I do a lot of k's per week
to and from work.
Yep, I'm coming next monday night ! (Just as long as my sister-in-law
doesn't go into labour)
