Thumbs down Need new Diff Installed ASAP

I am in urgent need of finding someone who can install my new diff in my AP1, I got it today and since I need to break it in I need it done Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday in order to make it to auto x on Sunday, which I would really like to do.

If anyone here is mechanically capable of this please PM me or if they know someone that is up to the task please let me know.

Thank You

I am capable (mechanically), but my facilities are limited to a very small garage and the usual hand tools. If you think that is enough, I will happily throw my wrenches at the problem.

Which autocross is running Sunday? I know about the one at Namao on Saturday, and Secret Street on Friday nights, but that's it. Clue me in - I want to race more!

Try Dale at Fifty Fourth and Fourth -- he was having a quiet period last time I had my car in to him.

I'm all the way in Winnipeg, Manitoba, the auto-x on Sunday will be at the Red River Ex grounds here.

BTW I'm willing to pay good money for quick help if someone is able to accommodate my request.

Sorry about that -- I didn't check your location before answering.

Try Barry at Bear's Repair on Chevrier. He runs a one-man shop and is also an autocrosser. He drives the orange RSX.

Well on tuesday night we decided to try the install ourselves (myself, and my buddies Scott and Colin). All went well other than stripping one of the nuts that connects the axle to the diff, so after almost 3 hours of trying to get that off we were finally on our way to finishing. It's in and all is working great, and I must say I prefer it over the stock very much so

Thanks goes out to Dave at Winnipeg Honda for helping us out with tools and ball joint remover.
