Though i damaged the diff. towed the car back home from the track, and the next day towed it to the dealer. Mechanic drove the car the sound and the locking on light turning was gone! I drove the car back home and luckily i didn't damage the diff. probable the oil cold down and got back some of its velocity. changed the diff oil. Oil was lighter and the magnetic plug was full of tiny grinned metals. oil also smelled burned. I put in a new OSG oil and nothing happened after that.

Car drives like nothing happened to it. I just had to go down from 5 laps to only 2-3 flying laps. I give the OS diff 10/10. for taking that much beating. the rest of my mods is in my sig.

Ya a diff cooler is a must if your going to track your car regulary.
