Well sad to say but my car has been out of action for just over a week at the moment due to me snapping my evo diff carrier! Pulled out of work and BANG! i thought what have i done now!

Rolled the car back to work over the pit and managed to find what had happend!!


As you can see it was a nice clean snap!

It then sat at work while i sourced a few new bits, i snapped a pic of it when i was helping with an MOT.


Managed to somehow get her on a ramp and start the dismantling process!


A few pics of the diff removed and the damage!





While its out im replacing the seals and bearings in my diff.





While it was all down and apart i found this cheeky little bugger on my diff that usually arent there!


so far so good just waiting to get going. At the same time im fitting my m20 flywheel, changing gearbox oil, few new uncracked manifolds, possibly camber arms and rebuild front wilwood brakes!

Thanks for ready! any questions fire away!!
