Re: Velocity Stage 2 diff kit

["Ken and Susan Buck" <phillyscca@enter.net>]

Just my 2 cents:

I have the kit in the autocrosser, which has the CG coilovers lowered 
to the max.  I really liked the kit for awhile, and I would recomend 
it as a great cheap upgrade.

I screwed up the installation (like Meze) on the first install, so it 
doesn't work properly.  When torquing the final allen bolts, I made 
them "Ken tight,"  a torque specification 1/4 turn past stripped.  
The bolt threads and the tranny threads stripped, rendering the kit 
useless.  I did a reinstall with a longer bolt, which worked great 
for two autocrosses.  Now the car acts like a stock diff, spinning 
the inside tire when powering out of the corner.

My advice to everyone, Velocities kit is a good cheap upgrade, but it 
not a quaiffe.  If you only street the car, Velocity is for you.
