Anyone know where to find Weir diff upgrades

Long story short.... I have been calling Spence Weir of Weir Performance since February trying to get either the 12 plate or the 16 plate rear diff upgrade. I either get the answer of everything is backordered, or waiting to make a production run. In the last few months I get no answer, and no call back when I leave a message.

So.... does anyone know of a shop that may have some of these laying around? I'd rather not have to pay the extra money to send the diff out, as I can do the work myself.

Thanks for any help!

FFTEC motorsports just gave me the same answer....back ordered for quite awhile but available in 2-3 weeks.

I think it is time to bite the bullet and get Jon @ TRE to do his magic on mine as I do not believe the Weir 12 plate is gonna show in any reasonable time frame.

That sucks. Well that may be the route I'll go once I finish up my season with VIR in July. I just hate to spend the money to have someone else do the job when I am capable of doing it if I had the plates.

He doesn't make the 16 plate kits anymore. There wasn't enough interest.

My 12 plate is on its way here. Shout out to Spencer Weir for still supporting the Evo platform and the EVO-7-8-9 in particular.

MouseIX, email or call me as soon as you have that car running....
