Greetings,

I've been talking with Gator
Glenn of Gator Racing Axles
about racing axles for 7th
gen V6 6MT peeps. The
parts are extremely similar
to the 3rd gen TL pieces.

I have no pricing info yet,
I'm just gauging interest for
Glenn so he has an idea of
the total amount of units to make.

If you're interested, go here
or PM me and I'll direct you to
the GB interest thread, elsewhere.

i think you may have more interest in the TSX section as they have the same components as the accords, but the TL's are similar

Cool...
Anyone here ever blow an axle, are they a weak link?

Are these lighter?

Eoanou

Continuing the list of questions:

Are they more efficient? (less power loss?)
Are they more durable? (can they hold more power?)



I guess these would be a worthwhile investment for anyone who wants to launch their car with DRs at 6500rpms.

Actually, TSX axles would friggin
detonate w/ the power seriously
modded TL and 7th gen Accords
are delivering.

NVA-AV6 researched this as follows...
03+ "AV6 AT/MT both use the
same iner and outer joints, but
different center sections
(probably legnth). TL uses same
inner joints, but different outer
joints and centers."

Again the parts are very similar.
It's within Gator Glenn's capabilities
to interchage small parts in the
interest of a group buy.

1. I have no idea.
2. yes, substantially.

Your guess is spot-on. Keep
in mind that the clutch will slip
before the axles will break
though. I'm waiting on my
stage 3 kit from Clutchmasters
right now. Btw the guy to talk
to at CM for a racing clutch is Jose,
tell him I referred you.

papiowhisperer

Several 7th gen 6MT Accord peeps
have snapped their axles under
boosted/sprayed applications.

Because the TLs have the LSD,
it's not as likely. Keep in mind there are
TL peeps that have serious
power adders and I'm guessing
being rescued from the track
once would probably
cost half as much as the axles...

i saw this on the accord forums as well.

its seems like a worthwhile upgrade if you upgrade your clutch. but then again you have to worry about your tranny also..

papiowhisperer

I agree, probably the synchros or second gear.

My mechanic just told me my front axles needed changing and now Im looking for heavy duty ones. Does anyone know if their on the market ???

^what happened to your axles?

papiowhisperer

There's a thread with a list of
interested peeps at that other
Honda forum, go put yourself
on it, or email me at
bluesman-at-hawaii.rr.com.
(add a real at) The guy that's
working on them can be found here...

so do these guys PRODUCE new axles, or rebuild yours.

performance axles decrease turning radius... be careful. they're stronger because the cages are bigger with larger bearings, but only three or four. as opposed to the six bearings that come with most factory axles...

Dino the Clown

Got priced from Gator axles at $550 for the pair Im told they will hold up to 400-450 horsepower. Anyone else interested just look up GatorRacingAxles for further info. Im going to pass on it now I think.

ussi

iTrader: (1)

is this always the case? TL already has a shitty turning radius

lookinco

So $550 to produce a set for the TL or to rebuild them? How long for them to make a set?

papiowhisperer

PM me I'll send you more info.

jdmspec333

most cases but not all... should check with manufacturer.

Kracker

Back in my Eagle Talon days people were going to http://www.raxles.com/ . The hardcore DSM pushing out 450 hp swore by this guy. I never used him, but have heard good things.

papiowhisperer

Sounds pretty substantial...

Gator Glenn at Gator Racing Axles
told me he ordered 50 heavy duty
blanks spec'd from the AV6 6MT parts.
That should be good news for anyone
running a J series motor...

There's already nineteen (19) J series TL, CL,
AV6 peeps interested in pricing and availablility.

^sweet i'm signed up on the interest list on the accord forum..

papiowhisperer

Your support helps...

Kracker

Sorry, I didnt know it was in the works... As soon as one of mine fail I'll buy a set. I'm not expecting them to fail anytime soon. $550 is a good price.
