Torsen swaps on your back do tend to suck. Did you do all the work alone, or did you have a helper to get the old assembly out and the new on it?

Torsen and brake swap in the back-lot of a truckstop... ballsy.

Thank you for being "older" and also doing real projects to your car. The majority of the miata owners locally and in the local miata 'club' are older... but only care about crome pieces and long drives together while talking over the CB to each other.

Again... thank you :)

Had a helper...met this guy from craigslist who wanted to buy some parts..we started talking...told him about my project, said he'd help, and now it's done! Now I owe him a full days labor. Great deal..knowledge + new friend..Thanks again Joe:bowrofl:

For some strange reason it seems like my rear tires are losing tread alot quicker since the turbo install....:skid:maybe I should check alignment:eek5:
