I know, and I'm super excited! If you're interested in an LSD, I'll be rebuilding my MFactory 1.5-way LSD unit and I'd be happy to send it your way for a small fee. All you'd have to do is put it in a diff, which is a fun DIY project for the mechanically inclined.

It doesn't take much to overtake the car's worth with mods anymore, considering it's a 200k-mile base model with an accident or two on its CarFax, etc. All I care about is how big the smile is on my face at the end of the drive...

Looking nice on the outside is about it; little rust generally means little heat (heat promotes oxidation) which means it wasn't abused and doesn't have a heap of miles on it. Just look out for ones that look way too clean...
