I am very happy to report that all of the upgrades are working rather well. The Ron Davis radiator has been keeping the car nice and cool, weight reduction could be felt in every aspect of the car, since it was both faster and handled better. Finally, the biggest difference came from the differential upgrade. Understeer, what was left of it is completely gone. I am finally at the point where I can drive the car with throttle, get on the power earlier, and stay on it hard, even though the back may be sliding a bit. Torsen T2R definitely feels much better to me than the Ford Trak-Lok with FRPP clutches. Next up on the list of things to do are the following items:1. Corner balance the car: Feels like the balance is off. Whenever I break the rear loose, it always pitches me in one direction, so I'm pretty sure there is some corner balance issues, one wheel having more traction than the other for sure. I will also check the axle location, make sure that panhard rod is adjusted correctly.2. Comfort: I will install aluminum floor plates in the footwell of the car, to make the floor more even, and just a nicer place to be. I will also do something about the pedals, because they are very slippery, and do not inspire a lot of confidence while braking hard.3. Overflow Bottle for Power Steering Pump: I have sealed the power steering cap, and tapped it with a long line and a breather. No issues so far, but I want to add a larger reservoir above the cap, so I can control the level from there.</blockquote>
