Thread: My 6 speed blogger. Swap complete! vids inside

Not sure on the brand actually. I'll find out and post it up. I really want to drive this car again! It's been like 3 weeks now driving the GXE and I'm going through power withdrawals.

I talked to Marty at Raxles and he said that using the SPECV axles with the outer B14 hub splines is a no-go. So this means I have to buy some hubs. So a few questions arise.

Will any B15 hubs do? I would imagine so, but I want to be sure. I am guessing I cannot use my B14 brakes with these hubs?

So I am currently looking for a solution to that issue. If anyone has any suggestions let me know. I'm trying to keep this thing on a budget. Right now I've spent $2400 on parts between the Transmission, clutch, flywheel, mount kit, shifter and the clutch pedal.

The Spec clutch I got doesn't come with a TOB so I had to get a new one coming from GregV. Looks like I will be into this project over $3000 before it is complete. This swap is def not for the faint of heart.

Spec V hubs is what I have, maybe g20 hubs will fit as well

Yeah you can use the p10, p11 hubs as well. This is what Mazworx did. Im gonna try and find some p10 hubs so that i can use my stock se-r brakes. Im keeping my stock brakes because the wheels with the slicks are mounted on 13" wheels and clear the brakes by only a hair. So cant go bigger.

what reason did he give you? he built me spec-v axles mated to a set of cv joints that fit into the b14 hub. works perfectly fine

Yes; I had two Spec V spindles but when I had the new wheel bearings pressed in there was a FUBAR and I had to get a new spindle, went the the yard and got a normal B15 one and it worked fine. However if you go with the B15 spindles your B14 brakes will not work.

13" fits AD22VF too. You just have to get right wheels with right ET.

who remembers what to torque the axles nuts to?

See, and he mentioned that to me but he didn't remember how/who he did it for. Will you do me a favor and pm me your name so I can give it to him and he can look it up. He just couldn't remember exactly whether he got it to work or not. He mentioned the specV axles splines being different. But being able to tell him who he did it for will help out a lot.

Ok, so I could just press the SpecV spindle into the B14 knuckle/hub right? Perhaps they take the same wheel bearing and All the B14 stuff would work with a little machine work with getting the studs 4x100mm in case the axles just aren't something we can do.

It is about 180lbs iirc.
