                :(  That skid plate will be sweet though! Especially from low camera angles

                            Welded the ring gear to the pinion gear eh?  :P 

                            I demand drifting videos by the end of the week (rage or iaintevenmadthough, either kind is permissible)

                              Is it harder to drift a vatomagic car?

                                in my experiences before the 5spd swap, you either need to keep it in "1" and do a low-speed throttle oversteer type drift, or keep it in "2" with  enough speed to where you can hit full throttle without kicking down to 1st gear when you need to apply throttle. 

                                The trans upshifting when you lift off the throttle when in drive can really screw things up.

                                  I actually just filled the whole diff with a weld. That's how you do it, right?
