I will let you know about the HTA71. I know 211ratsbud has one and loves his. He's making 400whp I believe. The turbo is sold with a 9.0cm turbine housing but I bought one of FP's sale units without the turbine housing so I will be using my stock 9.8cm. For the price I couldn't pass it up. Definitely keep me in mind when you sell that suspension. What are you running for spring rates? Also, cheers to all the old DSMTalk peeps that are now playing in the Evo world.
I have a 10.5 though

Yep, Mine did it real bad with the redline NS fluid (no friction modifier) which I used to break it in with. Switched to the regular LSD fluid and it got significantly quieter. 2.5 years later and it still will make a little noise when cold and turning tight radii but doesnt last long.

Well the t-case and transmission have been removed. From looking at the stock clutch it didn't have too much time left. Not a bad run for 66k stock miles and 6k miles of elevated power and auto-x launching. Now I'm trying to decide if I want to upgrade the t-case as I don't feel like ripping it apart again. I'm already planning on sending the transmission to Jack's so I might as well send him the t-case and get a Wavetrac diff, right? Decisions, decisions...

Went to work today and spent a few hours cleaning up my front LCAs and installing some Whiteline goodies. It would have been much faster if I didn't have to make every piece to press the bushings out. Oh well, at least we have a hydraulic press. I also got my boxes from Jack's Transmissions on Friday so I can send out the transmission and t-case on Monday. I said what the hell and bought the Wavetrac, too. It's only money, right?

Got my Monoloc in the mail yesterday, thanks to STM for actually having it. Jack's received my trans and t-case today. Finally got a hold of Weir and got the second to last 12 plate on the shelf. Haven't been able to work on the car due to lingering ankle issues, but still progress in my eyes. It's going to be a rush to get this done and tuned by March, but we'll see.

Got the motor out last night so I can do some work while waiting for the trans/t-case to come back from Jack's. Ripped into the wiring harness today to prepare for my mini-tuck when it all goes back together. I'm also contemplating buying a full 3" turbo back exhaust to replace the QTP w/ cutout so I conform to SCCA rules for when I finally start racing with them.

Before it got ripped apart it was getting idled for long periods as there was a cold spell in TX and my mini battery was getting pretty weak. So it idled for a total of a couple hours at an auto-x and a few other times for maybe another couple.
