    What's up yall. No progress lately, just been too busy finishing up my semester, working, and slaying some easy college hoes before they all gone for the summer.

    On a side note, going to pick up the 210mm diff today!

    Got the diff!! Thing looks and feels great. Solid as a rock. 3.15lsd out of a 750il. $300 picked up!

    Mklock came through big time!!! Huge shout out to him for the lead. I will be dedicating my number 4 piston to you buddy! Dude with the diff was cool. Was building a couple of tube chassis drag cars, one with a 700ci 16:1 running methanol and another monte Carlo he said was making 3000whp. Thing was crazy, wheelie bars, chutes, freaking monster.

    Got three more pistons to dedicate; secure your spot in history TODAY!

    Will do when I get home!
    It'll probably sit a while, I literally just re did the entire rear end so I kinda hate myself for that cause I really don't want to drop the subframe again...

    Do you guys through these 210s in stock or what? What's the best way to ensure this 210 lasts forever?

    If you can slip the clutches by hand with the tires then I'd say replace clutches but if you can't just run it. The one that I found only had 60K miles so I just swapped it in and ran it.

    Run a good fluid it takes two quarts.

    I haven't decided yet. It is supposedly a low(ish) mileage diff....

    The diff is a pain to install and remove. Pony up the cash now and just call it a day. You're going to be punishing it so why not prep it while it's ouy

    I'll be honest here I don't think that's needed, yes maybe for you guys drag racing every week. It's not hard to install it took me couple hours to prep it for the 210 (bracket) cut front bushing out. Then another 3 hours to put it in the car.

    I just cleaned it with dish soap, prepped it with some alcohol, and sanded it with 220 and 400.

    Shot it with some Boston green base coat and followed with a 2k clear.
