Install for the LSD would be a breeze if i could get it shipped as a pumpkin. But it weighs 100lbs, and the USPS limit is 70lbs. Im trying to work with VAC to see what other options we can come up with.

Added some more stuff to the shopping list, feel free to comment!

Stick it in someone's household goods, or just buy an auto diff locally, install for the auto version shouldn't be too bad.

I thought about the auto diff thing. But I want to keep the 3.08 gears. VAC is the only place I know of that will unweld the gears and bolt them to the diff. Household goods would work if I knew anyone coming to germany.

Your build list is awesome but what's the end result of your $6000 build? Are you drag racing? Or tracking the car? Or just being Billy bad ass on the strip

If track is in your future, stick a line in there for track driving training especially while you are so close to the Nurburgring and world class instructors.

When we go back, the fast life and the driving opportunities we have here seriously get cutback at the knees.....take advantage while you can.

Honestly, i dont really have a purpose for the car. I just love to modify cars. I want it to be fast, and look cool. Im also eyeing the musicar sound package. I know nothing about car audio, so i really like that they package everything together.

Musicar sources some of their equipment from these guys:

My neighbor had an install done in his Opel Corsa that pretty much blows the windows out. Nice fit & finish good clean quality installation.
