Short answer is no

There is a the drivetrain for dummies thread in the stickies section it has this pdf

yeah thats whats confusing but sorry

Hey Zeus, I am guessing, in the first photo, the 2 "circular" pieces should be together? Snapped in half? That's ok, builds character!

I am rebuilding this one, TRE all the way!! Take this word of advice: At the Dragstrip, don't lower the tire pressure under 20psi, STUCK in VHT, and using launch control to get out of the "Bubble gum". or you might have nice photos like these!!

If this is the front differential, are you going with something stronger like a Quaife or a Cusco LS? Does TRE have some beefed-up parets to handle your abu...erm...uh...spirited dirving??

Just think what an adveritising gold-mine you could turn this in to..."Built smokedmustang tuff!!!" or "smokedmustang has used our product for xx days with NO breaks!!" and you charge a little fee for them using your good name or get free parts!

Keep us posted and good luck!

Thanks Steve! You better show up in May for "the race"(WWIII). You can bring a trunk full of parts for me and the other hundred+ evos/subies/etc...who will be there! My boys at TRE are getting my TC ready, I appreciate the offer Steve.
