No its a good thing. The open differential is what I had, you dont want the open for basically anything. It was just a cheaper option I guess. VSLD is good for drifting. Might want to change the fluid in it though.

Not as much. HAHA. The bolt is diagonal to the other one on the other side of the starter motor.

If you drew a straight line from the bolt through the center of the starter motor, it would be along the line on the other side.

Yes. I think I used a socket wrench. Its a really tight fit. Its easy to get to if the car is on the lift and you have a swivel socket.

You dont have to take anything off. Just take off the wires for easier access. Then get a socket on it.

For the one on the top? And yeah i may invest in a set of swivel sockets. :P I just bought all these new tools, but like i was saving for a new box..cause I got a little *** box. and need more room.. but yeah i think im gonna get swivel sockets soon, but hows it easier if its on a lift, if the bolts on top of the car?

oh yea VLSD is very good now you dont have to spend money on that haha

ok just to make sure it is ABS when u look at the diff close to the drive shaft does it have sensor with a wire coming out of it?

would be best if you can take a pic then i can confirm if its a ABS Diff or not
