Yeah, it's already snowy and cold and dark and shit

I'm working on the exhaust now, then the brakes, I'm saving my pennies for the custom axles...

She'll be on burning up the streets by next spring

i didnt totally test fit both, but seems to me my stock axles worked on my tranny and were even the right length. have you ever tried? they might not be the best, but might hold up for a little while.

 

[klyph]

No, the stock axles are uneven length, the Integra has a halfshaft and equal length axles. Plus the spline count is different.

Custom is the only way, unless I bust out the hack saw and some JB weld...

 

[79Civic]

lol alright, i know i put one axle totally in and i thought it fit. but the other one i didnt put it in. was one of those bordem things lol. either way i wouldnt suggest using them, just thought maybe it would get it rolling. im having a diesel driveline shop make mine. dont want those suckers breaking.

chopping the 2 and weldiing them together wont work, the axles will start twisting at the weld and eventually break.

 

[91_civic_si]

JB weld is the way to go. No really, where are you going to get your custom axles from?

DRIVESHAFTS SHOP: Stock, Performance Drive Shafts, Aluminum Drive Shaft, Racing Axles

soooo any more progress?????

 

[klyph]

I cut up my pace setter header into a bunch of pieces, and am welding it back together so that it fits. It was one of those ideas that sounds good when you first say it, but after you start doing it, you say "Why the fuck did I think this was a good idea?"

 

[91_civic_si]

If I had a dollar for every one of those ideas that I have then I would be rich. I know exactly what you mean.

 

[79Civic]

chop it up and put a t3 flange on it!! just turbo that beast!! lol

but for real, did you get it back together? post some pics! whats next on the list after the headers?

 

[91_civic_si]

Have you given up?

 

[daveholiday]

I'm sure if he were to give up it would have been a long time ago

 

[klyph]

Have you given up?

I say just install the header like that. I wouldn't worry too much about exhaust leaks =P

Lookin good man. I'm jealous of you guys having cold white powdery stuff on the ground.
