Guest AlsoRanFPrepared Posted August 10, 2002 Share Posted August 10, 2002 Im wondering who actually blew up their R180 and specifically what part in the rear drivetrain broke? -Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug71zt Posted August 10, 2002 Share Posted August 10, 2002 I grenaded the spider gears on a R180 in a N/A 2.8l 240. I got off the track a little bit at track day and when I hit the pavement again, the spider gears blew up. The tires were spinning pretty fast as it was in major oversteer mode. i have an r200 lsd now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zfan Posted August 11, 2002 Share Posted August 11, 2002 First launch at the track with 180 rear and 3.54 gears and kaboom ate spider gears. Of course I have a v8 in her. Put a r200 w/3.54's and so far no kaboom. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnc Posted August 11, 2002 Share Posted August 11, 2002 BTW... most R180s have a two spider gear diff. If you install any type of LSD you'll upgrade that to a 4 spider gear and really increase the unit's strength. There are also some 4 spider gear R180 open diffs around.
