Message	0 drag racing and 0 track events. Just spirited driving on the street. What really sucks is less than 2 months ago I sold my spare low mileage diff to a guy up north for a really good price to help him out and now I can't find any used for a reasonable price. It might be time to swap in a TT subframe but I'm sure that would cost me well over a grand by the time I buy a new DS and bushings etc. Sigh.... Anyone else running an NA diff have similar problems? Anyone gone back to TT subframe and diff after running an NA set up? What were your impressions on both?
