Thanks!




A few changes I made yesterday, in order to further clean up the bay. I painted my ECM gunmetal but still have to figure out how ill mount it (I removed all the stock mounting, as I was planning on moving it inside.)

Also I got my centercaps, NW102, ash tray lid, and the front bumper support painted as well.

The paint will have to do for now, but the damn 100% humidity really screwed up the paint.

After seeing them in person, I would completely recommend them. The color is amazing and goes with everything!

Engine bay looks nice and clean, although your missing a line-loc for that big ol' bruiser of a motor you got in there

Gotta get rid of that pink thing that you call a rear end first

If you are interested in a Moser 12 with 33 spline axles, 5/8 studs, gear driven lsd, and motive 3.55's I'd work something out with you this fall/winter.

If I can find a buyer for it for a reasonable price on both ends then I will get the Burkhart or MWC Fab 9" I really need for the power I'll be making next year although this 12 bolt has been great to me.

No gear noise what-so-ever and it's been in the car for over 4 years. If you set the wipe pattern correctly on the Moser 12's and 9's the associated "Moser whine" is non-existent.

Let me know.

Actually, Its there.

Smart man, wish that was the route my car had gone. Oh well, like I said I am really happy with the 12 bolt. It just takes a beating and keeps on going without making any complaints.
