Tips on the the best way (and the cheapest way) to fit an r180 to a BE5 legacy?

I've looked at the suberdave races which look ok, but would v7 hubs and axles work on a BE5?

Have you seen the price of axles? That might negate the cheap bit of the equation... And if you have axles already, you would be better off selling diff/axles and using the money to buy a plate centre to put in the R160 if you ask me. R180 is overpriced now for the lack of performance gain you get from them in stock form.

How many R180 axles have you broken Viv?

Never broken a rear axle in general. I think that requires either lots of power or stupidity. I have broken 1 front axle, but that was showing off for a TV camera at a stage start with plate diffs on tarmac.

I have never broken a rear axle. As in I assumed Sam was asking in comparison to R160, perhaps implying that R160 might break more easily? Which I imagine they do. But I think you would have to be a bit daft to be breaking them, or doing something pretty serious?

Yeah, well I was curious whether anyone around here had actually EVER broken an R180 axle; RWD conversions and 600HP drag cars notwithstanding. I guess the same question for R160 is just as interesting - which you answered.

Cheers,

I'll stick with swapping ratios on my r160.

Another quick one- anyone know off the top of their head how big the passenger side rack and pinion bush is on a BE5B Legacy? Apparently there is two different sizes but the one I'm looking at is 25mm

Bring it round, we'll measure it!

25mm sounds way to small BTW.

Edit: ahh, width of bracket, now I remember! Measure it fella!

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
