Goodbuy R160 Hello R180 (No hub swap)

[suberdave]

After having a 6Speed in my car for over a year, and the matching R180 sitting on the shelf in my grage, i finaly got the parts i needed to Hybrid my axles to install it in my car...

The same parts that i had made will work to mate WRX / Legacy shafts to 05+ STi inner joints so you can install a R180 diff and keep your R160 hubs.

PM me in interested in more information.

Very nice.

Did you do the custom axles yourself or have a shop do them?

[suberdave]

I did them.

I had to have a custom inner race made. thus the GL or Legacy or WRX shaft will fit to the STi Inner joint.

The only thing that is not OEM Subaru is the inner race. witch is made much stronger than OEM.

How was it made exactly? OEM parts like that are typically carburized, or heat treated and tempered to have a much harder surface finish yet still be ductile enough to have the necessary fatigue resistance.

I have no idea as i did not make them.

They were made at a constant velocity company. this is what they do. this is only one part of there company. they also make many parts for aerospace, the US gov, and Boeing.

I am assumeing they know what they are doing. he said these parts were high strength!

Cool. I just had to ask since I'm that kind of geek.


I hope the best and they work out. God knows I spent enough on my R180 swap.

So is this more economical than buying spec-b axles? I also have a r180 sitting here...

[biggreen96]

I'm sooooper interested in this. What was the cost of the custom work?

[suberdave]

well when i had extra races i was selling them for $150 shipped for a set.

if i have enough interest i will have another run made. will be the same price.

Got them yesterday Dave, I did have to file a bit of axle to get the thing on but that only took about 3 min with a dremel.

did you replace all the seals? My friend has issues with leaks after his swap.
