Default Super magic boot carpet cleaner

I have discovered an insanley effective way of cleaning boot carpet and im sure would work just fine on other carpet as well.
1st. ya gotta have a low paying job like say 2nd year apprentice mechanic as my self,
2nd. ya gotta have stuff die in your car say in my case HUGE backlash in diff and spark plug failing and breaking off in the combustion chamber and screwin your engine.
3rd. then ya gotta leave your car in the shed for 3 months while you try and scratch as much money together as possible to fix the previously listed,
4th. while that is happening have a bottle of de greaser slowly drip in your boot.
5th. 3 month later you just wipe that gasket goo that wouldnt come off and just like magic its gone,
u also get an amazingly powerfully smelly and im guessing flammable boot, not to sure how good that last part is.
But seriously i ahve finally got an lsd for the car unfortunantly it ahd 2.77 gears so im on the prowl for a set of 3.7's ive got some big fat shims to put in it to make it TIGHT. the motors still as is and aside from that i ahte apprentice wages. hopefully ill be out cruzin by the new year again.

I dont know if this will burst your bubble or not, but no other gear sets will fit the 2.77 carrier. If you want to get 3.7's you will have to go a whole new diff centre.

2.77 gears in an EB? Must be a replacement diff surely, and your speedo must've been corrected for this.

EB sixes came out with 3.08 and 3.27 gears I think?
