Stazi, thanks for your concern. But honestly, I don't have the extra money. I have one credit card, with a limit of 1k with money already owed on it. The remainder will barely pay out the labor, and I have enough of my own money to pay for this stocker. I literally do plan on upgrading this SVT when I graduate and hopefully receive my commissioning pay. When that time comes, I will take out a nice little loan knowing that I have the income to support it. At that point, my goal is just to build a nice turbo'ed 3L making a relatively reliably tuned 300hp/tq, and beefed up tranny with ALL the goodies from Terry. Unfortunately that is 2 years away, and with tuition due within the next few weeks, I really don't have the extra money to put towards a LSD and the rest of the upgrades that need to be done as long as the transmission is apart.
Until that time comes, I'll simply take it very light on the car and keep up with some very preventive maintenance. From my current standing, that is the most responsible thing I can do with my money and my car, given my current situation.
And after reading through all the "I blew my SECOND stock diff!" posts, I will reiterate that I will take it VERY light on the car. I'm too busy for the speed/mod bug right now, and I don't plan on attempting anything aggresive on such a reportedly weak differntial, as I am full knowing how weak and prone to breakage under aggresive conditions they are.
