Even though i read a thread on here a while ago about JDM 5-lug having bigger axles i wouldnt believe it until i tried it myself, and sure as **** my B-series 32mm U.S spec axle is way too small. So now i am up the creek without a paddle. Hopefully i can hunt down a set of JDM 36mm axles......

<-------Learned the hard way.

 

I'd appreciate any info on where to get a JDM set (axles/hubs).
Thought, getting replacement parts might be a bitch!

 

Ed, contact Larry Jr. at Import Auto Salvage (1-800-962-8922). He has tons of JDM "R" front clips in the Type-Arr graveyard. He might have front assembly w/ axles.

 

I think that you can hybrid some axles that use the prelude outer joint. I think that the "stub" is the same size as the 98 up R.
Someone else might know more specifics...

 

the axles itself is bigger not the part that goes into the hub...

 

JDM front clips? wow.. including the body panels? where is this guy located?

 

Ian, contact Ceas (tony), he's got USDM 5-lug w/ JDM axles, I believe. He can probably tell you where to source them. G'luck.

 

Import Auto Salvage is located in Marion, NC. I drove up there last friday and could have walked around for hours. Tons of goodies. Right out front of the place sits a blue EG6 clip, next to that is DC2 "R" clip and a SiR-G Vtec clip. Pretty cool to see these clips in person. He has a complete White Si-R EG6 front clip in-tact with everthing from the front seats to the front bumper. TONS of JDM EF goods too like Si-R bumpers, hoods, etc. Truly an "Evil" place.

 

Thanks for the tip Ian.
I ordered an "Endyn" breather kit from them not long ago.
I'm looking for some bigger axles to go with big boost, since I do't like fixing things while on the road.

 

We need one of those places here...

 

Ed, one thing about the axle is the main shaft is not bigger, but only the input into the hub is 4mm larger.

 

I understand, ... Steve (sgT) had mentioned it some time back.
Other than that I was going to send the stubs (tranny side and hub side, for each axle) out to get cryo'd and hope for the best.
