STi Spec C running gear into an Evo 4 GC8

Here are a few snaps of my car before the conversion.
This one is 3 years ago when near standard at a track day with another Evo 4.

It has the drive shafts, and hubs as well. I decided to machine the hubs to fit the pccd pattern of the original set up

Its running a neetronics diff controller.
The motor is a 2ltr with forged internals with cosworth cams and oversize valves titanium springs with all the suppport mods. At AVO in Melbourne it has 260kw at the wheels.

Hi Dean

The wrong ratio rear diff fried the centre diff. I was running a 3.9 and it should have been a 3.54. I thought it was an issue with the diff controller.

Happily my mechanics were able to get a replacement centre diff and new rear diff for no additional cost ( as the supplier agreed they sent the wrong rear diff). The neetronics seems like its doing a good job now but I will be back at the track soon and will have a much better opinion then.

Cheers
