hi guys im new too all this 4x4 stuff.

see this on ebay:
SUBARU GC8 / GF8 RWD Centre Diff, D1, DRIFT, STI, WRX on eBay, also, Subaru, Car Parts, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 05-Apr-09 09:55:19 BST)

and wounderd if any one has welded theres and what went wrong?
could it take the power?
if not what broke?
much info as posible please people

 

i asked about similar, search ' subaru drift car' or something along those line,s, you should see the thread..

ive heard guys on here saying the diff cant handle all that power going to the back

 

is there a diff from another model that fits that would take the power?

 

Depends what you mean, its a stock centre diff with a gob of weld in it, making it very pricey for what it is (I have an old centre diff I could do that to for a lot less! - in fact you cam make me an offer, I know where I can get it welded first as well!)

The rear axle on a non DCCD STi is a bit marginal to take all the power, if you fit tha STi R180 rear diff that means new prop, driveshafts rear hubs and brakes as well.

Removing the front 'axles' (Driveshafts are not axles!) sill mean stripping the centre shaft out and keeping the outer through the hub and inner for those models were its needed to keep the gearbox oil in!

Hello simon could weld that part my self (we weld alot of diffs) just being new the impreza and not knowing what componets can take what power is my big down fall at the moment.

just want too know how much work would be involved to make it reliable with that part welded.

do all the parts you spoke of above fit as a direct replacement or would i have to machine up new adaptors ect?
is the STi R180 rare? never heard of the R180 thats all.

hope to speak again soon mate.
