2 year Update

So.. i'ts been a while since I updated this but to be brief here's what's happened so far:

-Got the car tuned on race fuel. made about 400whp
Mods
  • Tomei 272 Cams
  • Apexi Intake
  • Invidia Exhaust+ DP
  • ETS LICP
  • Walbro 255 fuel pump
-Tein Coilovers
-Evo X Enkeis
-Diff bushings
-replaced the 6MT with the 5MT
-Got a set of USDM tails.

I need to replace the rear diff now because it's whining like b****

Hoping to get it on track once its mechanically 100%

The car looks great! Did you replace the OEM diff bushings with polyurethane bushings? Just asking because if so, that may be the source of your "diff whine". The harder bushings transfer a lot of noise to the cabin.

Yeah, I replaced them with Energy suspension Poly bushes IIRC but the car has had the whine from day 1, when i pull the diff and get it open i'll be sure to update the thread.

I think I'll just buy an OEM one, it's a JDM car so I'm looking for a the AYC rear diff which is pretty hard to find.
