Major props bro, I know most people won't have the cajones to try swaping out the LSD like that

Awesome DIY brother!

Johnny, I did get to read the details yet, but I just want to tell you that YOU ARE CRAZY!!!!

You have the gonads to wrench on your own 400 bro (and not just oil and filter changes either), and I admire that. Good luck with everything man.

T.L.W congrats. looks like you are off to a great start. Keep up all the hard work.

I cant belive yall dont work on your cars. I try not to let any shop touch my car. Now I am not going to rip my motor apart but I will do everything else within question. Come to think about it I have had it for almost two years and it has been to the shop 1 time for a alinment. When it gets out of the body shop i will be putting new ball joint on. I am also doing most of the body work.I will not paint it thats for a pro.

Dang:

Johnny:

Is there anything left on yourt car that is stock?

Congrats on all the work you are doing. Your car will look and drive awesome and to also think that you are knowledgeable to do this all on your own is really impressive.

Maybe you can help me fix my car issue?

Peace,

Ted

HeHe , this just reminded me of when i ran into the same problem and then I went to all the tool shops and nobody had the 12mm. At the time I got so... pissed . Car was up in the air on the driveway and no 12mm to be found. Finally I found out that the socket lugs use a 12mm so I ran to my friends house and it saved the day. But I must say the garage and lift sounds like an excellent idea and working on the ground does suck. But cheer up! One day this will might be humerous to you. But just wait till you try doing the torque converter on the ground.
