Yikes!! I assume you had a complete diff etc problem?? I hope this is my only problem for a while. I'm going to look over the entire car now and take it to Lamar Walden once it's back on the road for a better inspection. I don't have another grand to drop on it right now...

Lol that's just it.. there was no wheel hop or anything. As soon as I let the clutch out in 2nd, the motor just free reved b/c no power was transmitting to the wheels. I'm use to my old turbo civic where you could spin tires and bang gears all day long...and that was in a car originally meant to have less than 100hp and I had well over double that on a stock trans and axles w/ a LSD lol. I realize this car is A LOT heavier and makes much more torque, I just assumed it should handle a bit more abuse. Which makes me think the axle nut was loose...

Yep. Not a diff problem. My fault because I placed too much trust in people to be like me. But I was fucked over by the seller and a shop. Look for big post coming up.
