KennyMcRae Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Victor V8 Build List r180 Rear Diff $450 Amazing build! But hows that r180 rear diff holding up? Is it welded? Open? LSD? I've read a few threads about RWD Subaru's not being able to handle much power without turning themselves inside out. According to a few people that have wasted a lot of time and money on converting AWD to RWD, a R200 diff is able to handle a substantial amount of tq. Might not be true though, this is the internet... Please please please post a video of it sliding around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeuEmMaiMai Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I'd rather drop one of these in there lol http://www.autoblog.com/2015/02/11/subaru-brz-362hp-24liter-v8-japan-video/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cww Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 just found this thread. this is great. bravo. just to chime in on going widebody... I think that goes against the entire aesthetic of this build. it looks like a well cared for, stanced BH. no one would ever think it's a LS-swapped RWD drift monster. you add 335 rear tires under flares and it ruins the illusion.

I bet that cost way way more than my LS though. I was reading the comments after the video and I thought this one was funny...

Thanks and I agree 100%. I'll never wide body it. That defeats the whole point. Because, SLEEPER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The slave cylinder bit the dust. The car is down right now. We're going to replace the slave with something beefier, hopefully over Presidents day week.

Swannee225 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Thanks man. It's still got the stock Legacy muffler which I'm sure sucks for performance and it's too quiet. After I get some other things dialed in, I'll get a much better exhaust system on it and I'm sure it will be nice and throaty, even with the stock cam. I honestly can't imagine adding more power to it right now. What about some electric cutouts? now that would be BADASS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpine F31 Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 What about some electric cutouts? now that would be BADASS That WOULD be bad ass! I did get rid of the Legacy muffler and replaced it with a Magna Flow. It sounds WAY better. Of course it runs better too. I should have done that on day one.
