true ralley cars have fully adjustable differentials. that gives you the ability to adjust the steering of the car for different surfaces that you might encounter in one day of ralley events. the big thing is to use all electronic diffs with computer controls active yaw control, torque distrobution and more goodies. our mechanical lsd is good but not the best. a welded rear diff would cause the car to have more oversteer, a welded front diff would cause understeer. everything welded, and youre not turning very well at all.

Just got my headlights in the mail...I ordered up the first generation projectors with a 6000k HID kit wired up and ready to go. I opened the box and didn't get what I ordered....
Instead I got the new gen 2 CCFL Halo projectors with the HID kit prewired for no extra cost. I'm guessing someone at the warehouse F'ed up on this, because it would have cost at least $100 more for this combo. SWEEEEET

Tried installing tonight..pretty easy actually. The only problem is that I got either a bad bulb or a bad ballast. I'm going to test them this weekend to find out the exact problem. Pisses me off though. The one that did light up looked kick ass. Soooo much more light. I just have a bad feeling I'll be dropping $200 on a better HID kit in 6 months. And yes, that is the crapper in the background

I just droped my car off at the dealer for the stage 2, it's been sitting in my room since last summer. I'm getting the sloted rotors and hawk pads form diversified cryogenics here in MN.
