Horrible, horrible, noises coming from the diff, gonna pull the center out tonight and put the open one in.

Never done it before, hope its as easy as google is making out.

Google is a smart guy hes taught me many things.

had a look at spare center. It's locked too. FML. Pulled a handful of weld and shards of metal out of the housing. Hopefully it works until I find an open center.

Make sure you use the same crown wheel off your centre when you swap them over too, cause the gears are cut to be matched!!

 

It's easy to swap centre's takes about an hour max

Crown wheel?

 

It's in. 2.5 hours with a lot of standing around. Quite happy with that for my first go.

So this is what I pulled out of the diff housing.

the inside of the centre is fcuked. Gear teeth and weld everywhere.

 

 

 

The new locked centre is in and feels so much better, still want an open but it will do for now.

Pics of the welds:

 

 

When I bought it the guy said the centre got replaced but I'm thinking he left the shit one in and the spare was the good one.

Same shocks as in my ke10. I rate them. Are yours adjustable as well? You just compact them and twist to adjust

Yeah, took me a bit to figure out how to adjust them. They go pretty firm aye :o

Yeah they do! Not as still in the car though :(

Quietest diff ever. :o

1: Beige

2: Black or

3: Green.

 

?

 

No other options. All matte.

I liked the old green.

I liked the old green.

 

As did I, but if I go green I'm thinking more military, that old green was a fluke. Awesome, but a fluke.

Dude, beige. Without a doubt

keep it the same? I feel the general look of the car was great when you got it
