  • 3.42's installed!

    After picking up the rear axle with my friend at magnus's house, he had to suffer and follow my friend's dad's huge van. After a good couple of hours of getting the rust bolts, we installed it. CORRECTION: I sat and tried to help while Magnus did stuff. I did learn a lot and WOW going from 3.08 to 3.42 is a huge difference.

    The power scared my girlfriend ;)

    Thanks magnus, you rock. :D

    Awesome! Hey Epic, did you get LSD also?

    Anyone know how's the difference going from 3.23 to 3.42's on a 3.4 liter? Worth it?

            Came with the Heavy Duty Zexel LSD, it's more then what I expected. Definately gonna be guzzling more gas burning people in take-offs.

              You have 3.42s and no LSD? You might want to check that again.

                        I don't think that is normal. Wish I could do that

                          Magnus charged me $300, and I threw him an extra $30 to help install it. Talk about deal. Everyone who has been in my car lately has noticed a HUGE difference. :D

                              I'm glad you like them Matt.

                              What a PITA the lower panhard bolt was. That thing was rusted so tight it took over 200ft/lbs I swear to get it loose. Having the right tools sure does help though. [img]smile.gif[/img]
