cool hope there is a pair for me. i sent you a pm so you can send me some more details thanks Geoff

any sets still available?

ok ill belive you

i was just thinking that the original gears could do the same job (and be a lot cheaper) they should mesh together the same because they are driving off the other side of the pinion and be running on the same face of the teeth that they where designed to run on. i was thinking that it would just be a matter of shimming the crown wheel from the diff or getting it machined down if it is to thick. maybe they looked into it and worked out that it just needed a thicker crown wheel and that's what they are making they would not tell anyone that because then they would not be making any money. well that's my 2c

i have decided not to look into a gearbox until i have finished my non Subaru projects like the sr20 mini and the 50 foot ocean going house boat. otherwise i would be building a buggy as well and i don't have the time or money for that. if someone else can look into a gearbox and figure out what needs to be done and not get stuck building another project car then that would be good

i have been thinking about buggy'ing a ea gearbox for some time well if it is possible to swap the diff from one side to the other and that looks possible and the gears should have the right mesh on them im guessing that its just a matter of shimming the crown wheel. well now im intrigued so i think ill pull a gearbox apart and see what will work but as NoahDL88 said "The wheels are turning, and that's bad, usually means I spend too much money"

i was thinking about doing this sort of thing for an off road buggy. if the gears are not meshing then couldn't i just put a spacer/shims behind the crown wheel? the other option was just to flip the box upside down but that brings other problems with seals and filling.
