EPA Proposes to Ban Racecars
The United States EPA wants to ban the creation of racecars. Folks it is true! Their latest regulatory documents have proposed to make illegal to convert any emissions certified vehicle into a race car. Basically this is every road vehicles newer than the early 70's. If allowed to pass, I am afraid ...

Re: FutoFab Introduces Steel 510 Body Parts
Hey Dave, You should offer a rear disc kit as well, something that compliments your front kit in terms of piston size, etc. Maybe even a BMC to suit. We sell a 280ZX bracket kit made by Josh Kinney.It allows installation of 82-83 280ZX calipers & rotors. $195/set. Link: http://www.futofab.com/i...

Re: FUTOFAB
I am all but speechless (but that will pass). * * * * * On a personal level, I don't take praise very well, never have and would rather not have it because I get embarrassed by it (weird, I know). I have always felt that doing your best is what is expected of you and to "receive praise" fo...

Re: Subaru STi R180 Option from FutoFab
CLSD or Torsen are the stub axles. Sorry, must have been in a fog when I typed that. Yes, we sell only one stub axle, they are both the same length and they fit both CLSD or Torsen diffs. I think your confusion may be that the R160 VLSD requires a longer spline on one stub axle, not the case for th...

Re: Subaru STi R180 Option from FutoFab
CLSD or Torsen are the stub axles.A question, are the stub axles the same between the clutch type and the Torsen type ? I thought I read some ware that the Torsen type were longer.
Yes, the WCR CV Axles will work with the stub axles.Dave, do these also work with the CV conversion axles?

Subaru STi R180 Option from FutoFab
It was brought to my attention that there may be a lack of concise information about using a late model Subaru STi R180 differential in a Datsun. Let me try to clear this up somewhat and try to get everything in one place. First you need to source a 2004-2015 Subaru WRX STi differential. It MUST be ...

Re: WTB R180 3.9 Diff
Jim, A newer option might be a complete Subaru WRX STi diff with a set of conversion stub axles to adapt it to the Datsun half shafts. The '04-'05 WRX STI (it must be an STi) will have a 3.9 ratio with a CLSD. '06 to 15 will also work, but they have a 3.545 and a Torsen LSD on all but the '06 which ...

Re: FutoFab Introduces Steel 510 Body Parts
I've been getting inquiries on quarter panels with requests for shipping costs. The boxes are big & bulky so shipping costs can get pricey. Here is a sampling of costs. This is to ship a pair of 2d quarter panels. Be advised that Greyhound Package Express delivery will be to the bus depot closes...

I use Koni race inserts on my race cars. The shortest cartridge length is 11.42" whch would likely fit. It has 5.42" of travel.
