> I was really just busting your balls man, I am sure you know that anywhoo… As for swinging over. I dont have but a single night with my wife every week in the middle of getting up at 7 working day job, then shop and going home at 11-1:30-2amm, wash and repeat… so no offense but I cant really swing over to shoot the shit with ya! ☹

> I dont know what to tell ya man, its a case of live and learn I guess. If that diff was an issue from the day it left the lot, you should have known about it an prepaired for it, especially when modding the car and tracking it. What a seriously shitty design. I mean you can beat the snot out of a 10 year old WRX all day long with over 150Kmi on the clock and these things cant last 10Kmi? Count me out of ever buying one!

> So if you dont think the R comps are the issue, are you still going to run them? or are you going to sell them and get a proper set? While they might not have been the direct cause, its just one more variable in the equation man, thats all I have been saying dude. Its an active diff, so its working when ever the cars moving… adding to that strain just isnt smart, no matter how little or how much.

-Thats cool I know all about being busy  
-The have been two warranty cases I found, both were modified cars. I brought that to the attention of Mitsu Corporate and the local rep and they completely ignored it. So I guess its like a clutch. Good Effin Luck. Mitsu upgraded the pins in 2011 though…  
-Traction lights were on because this thing was going schizo. it was moving in place and causing the “dizzying array of sensors” (quoting Tanner Faust) to get faulty readings so they shut down the whole Stability Control System.  
-I tell people not to buy an X unless they plan on beefing up the drivetrain right off the rip.  
-The Rcomps will be used for one weekend at Edinburg. I want to see how much of a difference they really make. At which point I will try to justify spending $1k on tires that will sit 99% of the year lol

Once I drive this for a bit and get comfortable with it again (cuz quite frankly, I’m scared shitless, but that will pass after time) I plan to get injectors, bigger FMIC and a tune then I’m done with power mods. That should put me around 330awhp, mid to low 12’s. Good enough.
