Agreed Bob! If I come across a diff and axles for a good price then i’ll pick them up and if it breaks then I can swap back to non lsd until I can find a reasonable priced set of axles.
I’m hoping so lol. I’ve always wanted a nice lip on one of my dsm’s and finally found one at a good price.

Post up some pics when you get it put on
For sure. I’m going to just mock it up since I need to pull the bumper to install a few other things first.

FMIC?
Yeah its getting sent out for anodizing this week and then it will need pulled again when I fab up the bumper exit exhaust and dumptube. Easier to work on it with the bumper off.

Hell yeah! Cant wait to see what else you do with the 2g
Radiator is off to the welder as soon as the -16 bungs show up
Shipped my intercooler out to ETS to find out it has an epoxy paint on it so it can’t be anodized I’ll figure something funky out.
Got the t-stat housing all welded shut and got the AN fittings welded on the t-stat, water pump and radiator. Got 95% of the fittings and lines that I need for fuel and cooling. Sure gets expensive quick! Still got a laundry list of odds and ends to get.
I need to cut and reangle the top of the tstat so it goes straight towards the top rad fitting. Vc needs shaved yet and adding pro-werks cap, -8an fittings and some CompWorks baffles. Also got all my motor mounts with black poly bushings, not too much on the checklist left. Picked up V3 and an ECU for dirt cheap, just bought an ACT 2900 with low miles. Rear end got ripped out, replacing all of the bushings and coating everything of course. Likely just going to stick with the stock brakes this year along with the wheels on it, getting too anxious and don’t have a ton of time to work with.
The rear end project has turned into a big chore especially with the little time I have to work on it (maybe 4 hours a week) I’ve removed the gas tank shield to coat now as well too and even exhaust hangers (OCD) Axles are seized in the hub so I have them at a shop now to get pressed out so hopefully they can be saved but I have a spare set if not. I got the differential apart tonight to swap in the manual diff, ordered the new seals that I need for the diff from JNZ and sway bar end links from Rock Auto. Trying to decide on a color for the subframe/diff. I’ve been thinking just flat black and keep it simple but at the same time I hate to put all the work in for it to not stick out just a tad but nothing too crazy.
go pink!
You got it, your Volks sure will look good in pink when they show up next week
