Default 4.77 geared diff WOW!

Tapp just installed my new to me 4.77 geared diff. OMG, I thought I would get a season out of my new bridgestone's. Say goodbye to that dream.
I haven't taken her for a good run yet, but there isn't any low RPM bogging anymore.
Anyone know where I can get a frequent buyer discount for rear tires?
Believe me, I don't have any complaints with the new diff. It's hard to complain when you can't wipe the smile off your face.
A big thank you to Tarcy. Jason has the cash.

Glad to hear you are enjoying the gears so far. I had no doubt that your reaction would be anything but. They do make quite the difference and you definitely lose that low end lag.

My VW was at Tapp's getting serviced today so I was able to pick up the money from Jason, thank you.

Enjoy the gears Eric

Glad your enjoying them, I hardly even notice them in my car

I do notice it sucks more gas forsure and it rev's a tad higher. (maybe 800 higher if that)

Enjoy, I know tarcy paid good money for a quality install the first time so your in good hands.

nothing but smiles with the new diff. Tarcy was an excellent seller and the product was well worth the money.
Who's worried about the extra gas? It's only $1.47.5/litre tonight. I think the price has gone up 50% since I bought the S. It's still cheaper than filling a navigator.

It pays to procrastinate once in a while.

No, not with the 4.77's ever, esp when properly installed with the oe shim kit.

These were previously mine and I had NO gear whine what so ever. I bought the complete pumkin with all proper OEM parts installed by Jeff at HTG.

nothin but sweet sounds. i'm hitting vtec much earlier than i used to. glad i didn't by kenny's exhaust. the cops get bored in the burbs when no one is speeding. i don't need to keep in in 4th in a 40 zone with the stock exhaust, but if i had have seen kenny's exhaust in time, i would have been willing to get stopped until all the nepean beat got to know me.
lesson learned. check s2ki daily when you're looking to improve on oem.
