T2 Diff is fully rebuilt. All clutches are over sized for a stronger lock up.
Diff bushings are installed
Just waiting on the PFS Diff Girdle and the RX8 4.44 ring and pinion.

Yeah I replaced the pillowballs too. Mine were clunking too so I figured I might as well do them all at once.

So the diff swap didn't go so smooth lol. Took it to a Diff shop and they got everything in spec for $150 some other shop wanted $550 almost had a heart attack when he told me that.
Just waiting on Diff shims from Mazdatrix, because the guy couldn't find a shim similar to a Mazda one out of 300 of them lol.
Also started the car for the first time with the new primaries and coils, started right up.

Nice man. If I ever do the RX-8 ring and pinion, I'd have to take it to a shop. I don't want to mess with that haha.

I was kind of upset with this kit. They didn't really modified the radiator which is the most difficult part to do on a v mount. But it is what it is...
Toes aren't that bad, I'll keep working on them.
Those tow hooks are the shitz... Well made a nicely priced. They will be on today

Can't go 10's. Vin Diesel will take it away from me.
Waiting some diff shims from Mazdatrix! Ordered them 2 weeks ago still not even a tracking number lol.

Why you no go 10's?? LOL
That's weird that Mazdatrix hasn't gotten you a tracking number. Whenever I've ordered from them I got a tracking number usually within 24-48 hours and the product quickly. Good place to deal with but I hate how they don't calculate shipping at checkout and their prices are nearly dealership high.
The only time they took a while to receive an order from them was when I ordered my Idemitsu premix, but not their fault, the entire stuff was on back order.
