Well...I called around and I'm just waiting on a car to come in with a torsen LSD that I want on it...should have one within the month...
IIRC, the factory gearing on a 90-93 is 4.30 and the most common Torsen is a 4.10? This really wont be to noticable would it? just making my gears a little longer and reduce cruising rpms by just a tad?

FYI: It's quite obvious from your pics that the diff was NOT caused by the accident. If you have full coverage you may want to talk to the insurance company as failures like that are generally looked at as an outstanding circumstance which will keep your rates from rising and allow you to get everything fixed without anything more invested than your deductable.

I think that's a fair price. If I recal you'd need the entire diff assembly (in your case including the carrier), and axles. If it's in good shape I'd pay $600. Fortunately for me I've got a 1.8 so all I'd need is the guts.

And from what I've gather, the entire diff assymbly, axles and the driveshaft.

Well...I called and he said that it sounded like 'mechanical failure' and unless I wanted to file a claim and actually have someone go out and look at it to see otherwise its not covered...
And nobody at State Farm - Agent, Claims adjuster, or someone in the underwriting office knows what "outstanding circumstances"
Oh well.

PLPD is the minimum coverage in Michigan. You pay money but your not actually covered for anything except if you hit someone and they sue you for personal injury. And if someone hits you, the most you can get for your car is $400 unless you have your own collision coverage. I just keep it on my regular cars/beaters. Its about $200 for six months.

it's like paying for no insurance. liability only is one thing... at least if you hit someone their vehicle is covered... with PLPD everyone fixes their own stuff regardless of who ran the stop light/sign. it also make the cost of collision coverage mile high so people can't afford reasonably new vehicles. Result is that everyone is driving an unsafe POS that will cause accidents just because the brakes down work, it stalls constantly, you can't see through the cloud of smoke, and the frame is bent to hell. MI sucks.

I have a torsen on order with a local guy...said he'll call me on the first car that comes in...so a couple of weeks...hopefully it wont be to long.
On a side note, I wish my W2 would come in already so I can get that tax stuff back
