I have some Mazdaspeed motor mounts that I am probably going to try and install tonight. If someone with diff swapping experience shows up, I may try to tackle the torsen. If not, I will probably put it off another few weeks. Anyone?

Dang, if I didn't already have plans (and you didn't ruin the S2K autocross ;) ) I'd definitely helpQuote:

Good luck.
Wow... I may not do it tonight then... didn't think I would need to get that deep.Quote:

If that needs to happen, I would just assume wait till I need to pull everything anyway for another reason.Quote:

Gracias Señor Bean! With the exception of a small exhaust leak, the test drive was a success.
You're quite welcome... anytime. Is the leak on that set of nuts by the cat?Quote:
