I will admit I was incredulous but sufficiently ignorant of the mechanics that I considered it's feasibility.

From what I hear it's highly illegal to do that... Was rattling around everywhere and apparently someone had literally welded the driveshaft into the diff... Yeah sick
All good, $800 later and I'm picking her up Friday

Yep, when you strengthen a weak spot, something else becomes the weak spot, inevitably the gearbox

Finally started doing fun sh*t now she's back!
Started with the mivec cover because the orange paint looked rather ~creative~ and the whole flaking paint thing wasn't really our thing... I Scraped all the paint off, sanded it back and re-sprayed in a gloss black and Amy sat with the paint brush for a good hour painting the lettering!
Here's how it came out anyways... Looks a lot better IMO!
