Keeping 1st and moving 5th to 6th. Steel syncros throughout. Will let you know how it feels in a couple of weeks.

Nelson (or Chuck). Have you guys experienced differential noise from the stock Diff? (high pitched Squealing sound)

Not me Luis. So far, just the normal creaking suspension noises (some might be lsd related) around slow tight turns and speed bumps. The only tranny related noise is from my LWFW.

I think you are asking the wrong guys...we both have fabspeed bypass pipes and can't hear ****. My girlfriend makes a noise like that when I drive agressively. When I run Laguna Seca I have to put the mufflers back on and when run that way I hear no diff noise...I have 4 days coming up in August and September and will have the mufflers back on for a month. I'll listen for any sound like that...how about you Nelson? or any other GT3's that don't have bypass pipes?

I forgot to mention that I only hear the noise at very low speeds while turning left.

How I would do it Chuck!

Black centers
RS vents in the front bumper
CF mirrors

Drop it a tad more!

thanks Justin, will do...and Fanatic...looks good...hadn't thought about powder coating the faux centers but that's a very good idea...already have the cf mirrors just haven't picked them up...like the vents...looks real nasty...you are truly a bad influence...

Chuck the only thing you're missing is some headers... On our white car we put the bypass pipes on with the headers and it sounds even more pissed off lol. I'd by fibbing if I said I feel the 14RWHP more but hey...
