Word, I put my gears in and they are such a blast, especially in a 5-speed.

The reason people suggest NOT to do it themselves, is because not everyone has the pinion depth tool, or a dial indicator to set backlash.

ya it was a good time i've almost put 200 miles on the gears already and not a thing wrong.
Didn't we tell you that you would love those gears??? What took you so long to get them? LOL
don't you worry about the cops stopping you for running slicks on the street?
I've been busy with work lately so it took a while to find time, and about the slicks we just took back roads cruisin the neighborhoods pissin people off

Congrats on the gear install. I am eager to put 3.73's in my car, but have to wait a little longer.

So him installing them himself and having no problems at all, basically proves 99% of the people on this forum wrong when they say "OMFGZORZ DONT DO GEARS YOURSELF YOU WILL BLOW UP YOUR REAR END WITHOUT A DOUBT!!!!"
"Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn now and then!" LOL
besides, he said he and a buddy installed them and I'll bet you that buddy knew his s**t too! LOL

I personally would have went 4.10. but congrats on the 3.73's. I bet your car feels like it gained 100hp.
