I have my coupe as a visual reference to help me put it all back together again should I manage to forget where anything came from.

Been a bit of a break on the car progress the past few weeks due to family visits and preparing for building work on the house, but yesterday I managed to complete the strip down of the belly of the car, at long last.

You can toggle data ranges in the chart on/off and you can filter the data based on things like body style, model, engine and colo...

This for 92-96 models or 96-99 models?

Turns out the Quaife isn't actually wider than a normal diff. Seems the previous owner opened it up for some reason and hadn't torqued it back down fully after.

LTI is Long Track Injection according to the data in the EPC John.
