A couple of days ago the Avant’s rear differential came back from the shop where it was having an MFactory Helical Limited Slip Differential installed.  I set about installing the differential as well as a slightly newer Apikol rear differential mount.

I may finally be at the point where I can begin to put the remaining parts back on the Avant, most notably the exhaust, and start it up with the newer engine.

This round of upgrade work at the rear of the car has seen a set of Stasis Öhlins Motosport Coilovers arrive, 034Motorsport adjustable swaybar endlinks, 034Motorsport rear differential carrier, MFactory Limited Slip Differential, and Apikol rear differential mount, to go along with the already present Neuspeed rear swaybar.
