Since the other thread was "closed"

I changed my diff fluid (it was black and almost like a grease) and my trans fluid just cuz smile.gif (didn't really need it but it feels better none the less plus my 5th gear was giving me problems before...) Feels soooo much better much more responsive! I wuv it!!! If you haven't done it, its a must!

I'll add, if you haven't done it, DO IT! its pretty easy!

More of what happened to my car:





Car's not getting done at A&L...I'll share the name once mine is done (just want to make sure I know who/what I'm recommending). Also, not sure if you noticed, but also chose to do a different color than originally thought. Going to have to do something with the wheels again.

Lubed all of the convertible seals with Shin-Etsu

Also decided not to install some braided brake lines based on information I read here:
SS Brake Line Info

Why don't you find stuff like that before buying?

i ended up using the mobil 1 75w90, it seemed to be a good choice and its all year, otherwise i'd go with a summer only diff if my car only came out in the warm weather... too bad its out all the time
