Install Overview.

I'll try and keep this blog short, for good reason too. So I ended up not being able to run the kaaz diff. I Found out that it's a viscous type unit which requires 1 long stub axle and the other being shorter in length. Why? I really wish I knew. When trying to run the kaaz, the gears were not catching at all which made me very frustrated and sad.

So, I end up leaving that night with my good friend Jaime to San Diego to meet up at Jasons and pick up a Turbo 2 Rx7 shell with a complete rear end. Jason found a free donor shell. Yes FREE!!! This particular donor car with it's rear end contained the much needed stub axles for my kaaz. The plan was to get the shell back to Jason's house, remove the factory diff, load up and head back to LA. Mission accomplished :)

That night (Sunday) we all get to workin on my FC and taking out my beloved Kaaz diff in exchange for the newly accquired factory T2 diff. I guess it made things a lot easier rather than exchanging parts between both units. It was a sucessful install and my car actually moved forward. Whew. NEXT!!!!
