Yes - Subaru Gears all the way. Todd installed a Torsen LSD as well. Here's a cleaner, earlier view of the transaxle and custom mount:

The project is still underway. I think I made a tactical error by letting Kevin take the chassis to the show. He got too many orders and got too busy to finish my car!!

It's funny how often that knife edge shows up in life. Hope he can get back on it soon.

I've been through this a few times and seen this way too many times. They obviously do good work, but honestly no one has the right to jump in front of your project for any reason (unless you want to delay the project?). They're not doing you any favors and all that time spent waiting doesn't change the bill you get in the end.

You pay them money==>they do a service for you

Period. No hard feelings, nothing more, nothing less.

My bus sat in a paint shop for way, way too long. The only way things got done the last nine months was showing up each week at different times unannounced.

Nor does it account for all the free marketing/advertising value by having a totally bad ass chassis setting on the shop floor.

These are good points. I'll ping Kevin to see what the plan is.. I'm getting too much email and questions from people following this build. I know Kevin has been sick recently, but it seems like he's back in the saddle so maybe we'll see some positive progress again..
