you know the diff internals/ring gear (if all you wanted was the ratio) woulda swapped into the old housing right?

or if you wanted to just bolt it in, a 98-00 rear subframe will allow you to use a standard GS/SC/MKIV pumpkin with an LS rear diff cover. And it would have bolted on to your '96 lol.


cool, he opened a shop out here in socal but i havent had the chance to check it out.

One Hell of a build. I don't feel like going through 11 pages again. How many sets of wheels have you gone through so far?

Definitely not abandoned. It's actually just about finished from what I hear. StanceNation posted this on Facebook just yesterday:

I got the car painted, S13 Two-Tone. Paint color got ****ed, they gave me a brownish color instead of the Dark Grey Metallic. We got the paint replaced, but still have to shoot the bottom half of the car.

I figured out my issue with the belt, that's gonna be taken care of today.

I deleted my HYDRO ebrake, i'm going back to cables/drums for my ebrake setup. I got tired of not the brakes not bleeding, my pedal feels much better now.

I'm selling my bucket seat again, going to get a matching pair of rad *** seats. I don't know what I'm gonna get yet, but I'm leaning towards Sparco EVO 2 + or something like that. If you or anyone you know is interested in the seat, send me a PM. $200+Shipping
