Man talk about Fast....  

UPS showed up last night.   The new 742 was here, already...  dang !!    Just placed the Order on Wednesday....  and they built it per my order, wasnt like they had it laying around or anything.

Already had the gasket and gear oil so  I Dropped what I was doing and Slapped it in, and bolted it all together again last night.  (I have got to find some better way to get that pumkin on/in the housing if I ever do this again.  Woulda been nice to have a Jack or something to raise that sucker into place.  Just not enough room to "wrestle under there".)

Just gotta find time to go break them in now.....    With the new F&R sway bars the car hardly moves when I hop in it now....     this is gonna be fun !  ;D

ALMOST DONE !!!!!

PROJECT COMPLETE !   Thanks all for the help and guidance again !  You guys are a big part of what enables me to turn these wants into DIY realities.

just got back from my break-in ride....

No gear or Ujoint noises, no vibrations, and car just purrrrrrrrs under the new gearing with a butter-smooth acceleration.    

The PST  Sway bars make the ride a little more rigid on the straightaways, but feels like a sport-car ought to....    and man it really handles the corners like a dream come true, again like a real sport-car.
