Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

It's hard to admit this as a car person

My car drove all right today. Might've fixed itself. Still going to have a look later though.

Got a new battery and it was raining outside. Decided to do some donuts. Rear end felt a bit odd afterwards :/

Odd. Did it feel clunky, or something like that?

Sort of loose. Like the rear side was not bolted in. Not enough to clunk or anything. Just enough to feel strange when going over bumps.

Hmm. Would you by chance know when the last time diff fluid was changed?

Only turbo 4 that was in a muscle car was the SVO that was nice but as you know we went back to a v8 for a reason.

Doubt it has been changed. Going to order some small bits like a diff gasket next time. (Along with door lock pin clips and stuff like that) 

So i can have a proper look at the diff itself. 

It has been whining since i bought it but it isn't getting worse at least. And there is fluid in the diff that looked ok last time i checked. 

(By just undoing the fill plug and poking a pipe cleaner in there admittedly) 

 

It still sounds the same and there is no clunking or grinding. So i'm thinking maybe i squished a bushing or something.

Maybe

 

When you have the free time I'd say change the fluid, better safe than sorry

Yeah. Still want to swap to a diff cover that lets me change the fluid without taking the cover off at that time too though.

That and its a generational thing. My grandfather then my father and now me. Muscle cars are a very masculine thing in the USA. Thats probably why people say v6 mustangs/camaros are for fags like me or women women.

I still find that hilarious. "His car has two less cylinders. He must like dick"
