RE: She goes in for rear end surgery this week...
I got the gears used off Ebay for 70 bucks.
The ring spacer and install kit were another 150 from Summit.
Install labor was only 200 bucks. I lucked out there.
I picked her up yesterday and drove about 75 miles on it. Oh boy Im gonna get myself in TROUBLE. I ROASTED the tires at every light and was doing brake stands in every parking lot I could find. Smoke and rubber everywhere. I didnt notice a huge difference off the line but I REALLY feel it midrange. My RPS jumped about 800 rpm at highway speeds and my MPG just went to **** but it was SOOOOOO worth it!

Its funny, I seemed to have developed a new problem. Now that the car is so much more fun to drive, Im even more aggressive on the throttle. Now, I have this little gauge that has a F on top and a E on bottom and a picture of an old fashioned gas pump on it. After a few hours of really romping on the car, the gauge ALWAYS goes down to the low portion of "E"....I cant figure it out........
