Yeah I got the diff inserts, the "shifting kit", which I guess includes the trans insert and the shifter bushing? Also got the MTEC springs. Anxious to see what difference they'll make

If anyone’s curious of what the the diff insert kit looks like.



Install was easy. Support the diff and remove bolts.



The insert we’ll set on top of this oem bushing. There’s also a thinner bushing/sleeve that you have to squeeze in on the top of the oem bushing. Sorry for the crappy install pics. They do come with install instructions tho which make the install super easy.

So I was finally able to go for a drive. You can notice the car is less jerky when down shifting from 3rd to 2nd. Shifting at red line feels real solid also so I’m happy with the mod. I have an autoX event coming up so hopefully this can help out.

Hard to say for sure, but it looks like the rear tires on the blue car are rotating backwards.

I know it’s the opposite side but the only other pic I have. I’ll let him know tho. Thanks for the heads up.

It appears to be a directional tread pattern. Maybe happened at the last rotation, not sure. Worth giving him a heads up and see what he says
