NA6 to NA8 Diff swap

Post by REDBEN » Wed Oct 17, 2012 8:49 pm

Hey, just wondering if I need to change the 1.6l Drive shaft to suit the NA8 diff? I am swapping the complete subframes over.

Driveshaft to gearbox, but you do need to replace halfshafts as well.

Yeah I'm replacing the whole subframe so the cv shafts are already swapped over, but I am in search for a drive shaft, do you have replace the shaft or just an end of it?
