Here's the future plans as of now for the car, the list will definitely grow, but these are the priorities:

R-154 Transmission Swap
Turbo
Stance

As for the appearance, I'm set on a front bumper, just gotta fork out the $800 to ship it here, and another couple hundred to paint it.
[Vertex S-Endurance Front Bumper]


Here's the Rear bumper I'm going for as well.
[Vertex Rear Bumper? Or lip? I can't tell]


As for rims, I'm undecided right now but hopefully I can get your guys' input on color schemes, thanks.

I hope there's no rule against double posts, if so, I apologize.

Found this on craigslist today, since I'm searching for an LSD.

The guy says it's an open diff, can anyone tell me if this is what I'm looking for? http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/pts/3629654113.htm

The craigslist link doesnt work.

An open diff means that it doesnt have LSD. Here is a link showing what an open diff and a LSD diff look like. if you can see the gears then its an open diff.

Also if you we to look inside the hub where the axles bolt to and can see all the way thru then that also means the diff is open with out having to crack the sucker open.
