So as a poor high school student, I think I'll be going with the Kuhmo Ecsta ASX instead of the XS as a treadwear of 420 goes a lot longer than 180, plus they're about $20-25 cheaper per tire. Plus, I get to wiggle my tail more often

Leedom/Shaolin, do you remember how much your shops charge to mount/balance?

I dont recall exactly, something like $10-15 a tire. On the 07 it was 580 for Pirelli P-Zeros mounted and balanced.

So, since my rear diff (one of the notoriously bad 1.6 versions) grenaded on me on Fullerton Rd., I've managed to get a 04 MazdaSpeed Miata's Torsen LSD. Not only that, but I'm also getting it's big brakes/rotors aswell. Now if I only the money to swap in it's 6 speed tranny too...

I didn't know you blew your diff, total bummer

When are you putting the new stuff on?

Already bought the rear end, working on talking the guy down on the entire break set up on his MSM. He said he can't ship till Monday so I might be out for the cruise.

Don't bother with the 6sp. It won't do anything for you performance wise, it's just more rowing, the ratios are too close. The 5sp is perfect for the the little bugger. You got the axles to go with the Torson, correct?

And ship? Where you buying from? Did you talk to Erik? Have you been in touch with Roman in Pasadena?

Yep, I got the bosch torsen 4.1, beefy MSM axles, and driveshaft for 650 shipped from Florida. Matt's selling me his sport brakes for 150 also. Erik's installing everything.
