    I dont care where its from, this thread is about mischa's car. With his diff gears and a better launch to boot, it'll be quicker than yours, g-tech or no g-tech. Post the vid on your own thread, not here.

    Oh and pmsl @ rich!

    How's the LSD and new gears feeling so far mischa? After it's done it's first 1500km, let me know if ya need help getting it back up penrith way for new diff oil.

    Oh and definately get the friction modifier additive put in when he does the oil. Costs a little bit extra, but will prolong the life of the diff.

    Meh I'm over it. But yes you'll have to wear them in for around 1500km too, before it's recommended that the diff oil be changed.

    Sounds like you're loving it already mischa! Keep up the good work

    Climate control HVAC (i think its called that) is in the car now. Just got to do all the wiring and attach the coolent lines back up and fill it up again. Also Power Mirrors and Windows are all in.

    So this whole just installing power windows thing has turned into,

    Power Windows
    Power Mirrors
    Central Locking (holden)
    Alarm (after market)
    Climate Control
    Coolant flush
    Aircon Regas

    Also alot of the wiring that i have added before is getting a nice tidy up since i have it all there infront of me now and im not upside down underneath the dash soldering it all

    Cars 70% back together, central lockings working but not connected to the alarm yet dont know how to.

    Went to fix the power steering pump this arvo, turned the house upside down to find the rebuild kit and its gone. Thats two things that have vanished now aswell as the sun sensor!

    I also found out my tailshaft has seen better days and thats gona cost about $700 unexpected dollors.

    And below a picture from the latest JCCC NSW outing

    Climate Controls now 100% working now! Apart from the aircon gas, and the lights im replacing with LED's in the modual.

    All power windows are in and door trims back on and all working fine.

    Now, for my latest contingency,
