Will do, this is the stuff steven recommended me. Its ment to be very good for mt fitted with plate lsd. Mine only clunked bad when cold. But the previous oil was still golden when i dropped it out so it was fresh.

I left the gearoil in a bucket under the car as the weather turned bad and it snowed. Guess what, a bloody fox crept up my garden ( found the tracks in the snow) and knocked over the bucket. Probably drunk some used hear oild, poor bastard.

I spent 2 hours washing my driveway lol!!

Hopefully drank a good amount. One less of the pests...

Don't expect the LSD to ever be quiet!
 
Nice diffuser. Be sure to post pics once fitted mate
 
I need to test fit it and drill 2 brackets for it. Then tidy up some rough edges then im getting it powder coated black
 
Right so today i didnt have my sidekick dave as he was getting his dc2 mapped. So i left the engine stuff for tommorow when ive got an extra pair of hands. Noticed the front of the car was looking pretty rough so i went at it with a wirebrush on a drill and have it a lick of white hammerite for some protection. Also resprayed the bumper brackets black.

I then undersealed under the front wings, side skirts and on the inside of the eings.

I was pissed to find water in the boot! And some surface rust. Ad a temp measure i grinded it back to metal and painted it white. Eventually ill respray the whole inside.

The dash looked like this after i removed my ormori guages.

During this i found the shift light , made by pivot racing. Mounted it next to the techtom. Then i tidyed up the wiring and put the dash back together. I removed the pioneer headunit and cd interchanger. They will be for sale soon.

Hording parts now, got 2 bucket seats, a diffuser, and this lot + more in my room lol.
