Nice work Peter. I'm impressed. I know Dan is loving his 3.46 M/F LSD and I'm sure you will also.

thanks shawn! yep, looking forward to it!

Gonna be lots of ZHP drifters soon.

LOL. i'm doing the LSD primarily for winter use and the odd dry road tail wag...

- drained trans and discovered a trans selector shaft seal leak, which i had thought was the trans output shaft seal leaking. will investigate further, but i ordered a replacement seal yesterday

That's awesome work Peter!! I also had the same leak and I got it fixed at Toronto Auto Transmission. Took them about an hour and a total of $140 to fix it.

That's why I bought my current car. Just in case it snows here. LOL

Are you reinforcing the subframe? I'm trying to outweigh pros and cons of epoxy vs welding vs epoxy and a few quick spot welds in the middle of the plates so they don't melt epoxy. I keep reading about subframes still ripping apart. But not sure if it's because they're just HPF. Haha

yep. looks like it requires a special tool to pull the old one out - i might make a tool to do it, or use a pick tool.

LOL. yes, i am reinforcing/filling the floor cavity, not the subframe. to me, it is the most logical approach (it's the same as the BMW-approved method).

my car is not going to be drifted, doing burnouts, etc. i'm just doing it for peace of mind. and i'm curious how it effects the feel of the rear end, because i've heard of other folks saying it feels much more 'connected' and 'tighter' after that cavity is filled.

Hmmm maybe that's what I need. I don't thrash on slides in the dry. In the wet I may but I try hard not to shock the chassis with a pendulum. I'm pretty easy with the car.

Can't wait for your review once it's done!

Torque is what destroys the rear floor.

Torque is what destroys the rear floor.

any kind of load that will twist the rear subframe will contribute, but yes, most of it is from fore/aft twisting.

Torque is what destroys the rear floor.

The 323's and 328's that this affected a lot barely had enough power to start moving, let alone apply enough torque...
