----Blown Diff Roll Call---
Well guess I am the newest member to the blown diff club.. who else is or has been in that boat? post up!
I've put less then 5k on the car since iv had it and done the motor swap. not ONCE did I launch the car or dump the clutch. i heard too many horror stories about s2000 diffs being weak like the wrx's. so i never did it HOPING i wouldnt have that problem.. guess it doesnt matter when the owner before you didnt care.
Comptech Reinforced Differential and Richmond 4.56 FD (big thanks to JT at xlevel)
managed to get it on video. me and a buddy with a STI just got our invidia exhaust and a friend evo with RSR exhaust on. we were doing drive buys for sound.
i rolled into it in 1st like iv always done. never slamming it, or slamming gears.

We fixed one like that just for fun 
To do this kind of work is cost prohibited. It takes many man hours and the ability and tools to pull it off and have it work. The repair is stronger than the bearing cap it
