Got the diff housing welded up after work on Friday, they welded up the broken section then added a plate on either side for reinforcement. Got home and reassembled the diff, mounted it up then put the rear suspension all back together. https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8598/16680818485_965ac737b5_b.jp...

1.8 torsen swaps usually go for $600-700 complete(prop shaft ,2 driveshafts and diff housing), i got mine from mazline in Christchurch.

You can get LSD centers for the 1.6 ring and pinion but they are upwards of $800 and you still need to get them installed by a diff specialist

Get a wheel alignment and balance and drop your tyre pressure.
With factory tyre pressure, the shake is null.
