you need to make new axels using your old ones and the ones you were sent. take both sets to an axle shop, fit the inner's of the b16 axels to the outers of your stock axles, and make sure they are completley re-manned. that ought to do it.

Check axles and motor mounts. My friend had a shakey front end, but the poly inserts for the motor mounts helped a lot.
