I switched back to a GQ diff (narrower than GU diff) it still touched the flare but now also rubbed the inner guard and exhaust.
Some cars will have no trouble at all with scrubbing, there are so many variables.

I don't think Scotty is as exicited about the suspension as he was last week, not with his latest investment!

Morning lads - still excited about the suspension Tony no doubt, but yeah, you're right ... some of the gloss is gone based on what happened yesterday and I'll explain that in a second and prove yet again how fickle I am!!! lmao

The neighbor across the road had diff centres from his GU which are virtually brand new as he got them swapped out about a week or two after he got it ... should I be getting them to slot in when we do the engine? They're 4.1:1 ...

Sooooooo .... the engine .... well, through a bit of luck and the keen eyes of the chaps involved, I'm now getting that TB42 with Turbo that MR posted up about on the forum - 200 odd kilowatts and a massive amount of torque at the rear wheels (and he's running 35's!) ... far easier transplant, cheaper, and probably producing as much power as the LS1 anyway ...

Paul is going to suss it out on the weekend and slap down the deposit, old mate that owns it is going to bang it all on a couple of pallets (as it includes the gas system etc also), and once up here, we're ready to roll ... to say I'm excited is a massive understatement!!
