That course looks like the longest slalom Ive ever seen. Kinda boring <img src=/frown.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Blowing out a differential is certainly not a happy thing, and given that you were able to find another for only $300.00 is great.
Another option would be to take a look at perhaps upgrading to a stronger differential more suited to the stresses of autocross and hard core driving.
OS Giken makes just such a differential. It is quite a bit more expensive, but offers up a level of performance that I think more than justifies the expense.
Do we have anyone here running the OS Giken Differential in their car?
Let me know if I can help.

How can you help Erik Johnson at The Race Line?
"I have this magic performance tire called "an R-compound" that offers better grip than an all season. ZOMG!"I will also send him a PM telling him that non-sponsors aren't allowed spammage.

did your diff happen to sound like this before it blew? This was the last session I ran before the noise got louder, turns out my diff was almost done. I was lucky enough it didn't blow out on me during that session.
