I have some extra 1.8 coils if you want them.
Just got my 3.5 lip today from azuelke.
Waiting for the greyhound office to open up so I can pick it up then try to install before work.
Putting the factory WG back in and going to run stock boost to see if that fixes my AFR's since I don't have the money or knowledge to tune my car right. Then more body work this weekend and autoX on Sunday, Sunday, SUNDAY!
I have a lot of noise when turning the passenger side axle.. not sure if problem is the axle or in the dif.. it doesn't sound quite like a bad cv joint and I'm 99% sure its not the wheel bearing, the sound seems to come from near the transmission. When I spin the driver side axle its completely quiet though. Otherwise the car still runs great with a thousand mile on the engine now.

Car started popping itself out of 3rd gear a couple days ago. It only usually happens when I am not paying attention and lazily throw the car into gear but when I am driving uphill it consistently will throw the shifter into neutral. I am hoping it is the shifter or bushings so I ordered the corksport bushings and 3rd link kit, otherwise it would be the synchros since it doesn't do it in any other gear. It is intermittent so it will usually drive normally and stay in gear but sometimes won't fully engage. Already have solid mounts all around so I know it isnt the motor mounts.

No one. the regular axles fit but are obviously weaker. You could contact Fatti and hope he gets one to part out...
