So is this basically a torsen with a preload mechanism?

I fit in okay but I'm only 5'10". What killed it for me was the thought that I would almost certainly run over pedestrians attempting to make left turns. Those pillars are something else. That and the interior reminded me of a 90's pickup.

I sat in a Camaro once. That was enough to cross it off.

Unless OP has gorilla hands I think it's too small to be a plate screw.

The hood, parts of the suspension, engine block, tranny case, and front fenders are aluminum. The rest of the body is various steel alloys. There was a post a while back with a really cool materials breakdown somewhere around here. Skip the rustproofing, come on down to Arizona and watch your...

have you checked to see if you've lost a significant amount of oil?

This is a service for people who look at cars the same way they look at their refrigerators. Definitely not aimed at the enthusiast crowd, but it makes sense to an average vacuum cleaner owner living in a city where it may not be necessary or desirable to use their car every day. I'm willing...

Suntek $550 installed front bumper, front of hood, mirrors, door cups, lights.

So if it doesn't sound like a grinding noise (which would be really weird), is it closer to a whirring or buzzing?

Do you know where in the car the noise is coming from?

Kinda hard to narrow down if all we have to go on is an "undescribeable noise" What point in the pedal travel is the noise happening? RPM dependant? Speed dependant? Will it do it from a standstill?

Update: my car is apparently not broken. Thanks Grimace.

I think my car's broken. I don't have that readout.

I don't think that you can. The temperatures mentioned just seemed broadly similar to what I've seen in cars here with a readout.

I did this this week and it really is night and day. A side effect of the slightly heavier weight and more normal feel is that the clutch travel feels much shorter now as well. Short enough that I went down there again to double check that the pedal was all the way up.

Seems pretty normal to me. I've heard it's recommended to shorten oil change intervals in hot climates to once a year but your temps don't seem out of line with what we see here in Phoenix either. This link should prove useful. http://www.transmasterstransmissions.com/transmission.html

For some reason there seems to be much more suction out of the passenger side vacuum line than the driver's side. If you pop the driver's side line with the engine running there is barely any air getting sucked in from there. If you pop off the passenger side, there is a ton of suction noise...
