They can take more abuse than people give them credit for. My old 90 i autox and road raced it every weekend for 2 summers straight and it held(boosted of course!). Then in the fall when i sold it, it instantly blew up on the new owner lol! But you can find em for cheap.. I picked up one with like 70k for $250, and theres a guy on mt.net that wants $100 for a ring and pinion so ill probly pick that up and just have a spare rear end. And it seems to be the ring and pinion that blows out not the actuall diff itself.
Problem seems to be i bought a really clapped out car without realizing it.. i guess you get what you pay for.. its gona be all new soon except the ugly MI body but once i get the $$ together im good friends with the best body man around!
