stock axles? why would you want to use them? stronger axles are important for a faster car...so they don't go SNAP when you go down a track.

if you use the 4A-F C52 gearbox it _Should_ work. And being a 4A block, it should bolt up. Then again the clutch would be smaller than the one on the C56. 
same here, my axles came cutsleepycelica said:
theres going to be all kinds of little suprises that pop up during the install.
Thats how they usually are
depends on what c52 you get..... any clutch will work, and it depends on what flywheel you get as well..... the early c52's came with the 200?mm flywheels and in 90-91 they came with the 212mm flywheels (and larger clutches as well)..... the ae86 used the same 200mm flywheel in the W50 tranny.....Flashmn said:if you use the 4A-F C52 gearbox it _Should_ work.

anyways, you can use the 4a-fe axles if you use the 4a-fe tranny... the 4a-fe, however, only came with a c50 transmission
I'm in the middle of a 20v silvertop swap right now. I got an AE92 that used to have a 4afe. The stock axles connected just fine.
Here is a picuter of the 20v's driveshafts:

The left 4afe drive shaft will fit right in. To make the right side fit you will have to remove the bracket on the 20v driveshaft.
I'm using the transmission that came with the silvertop. Everthing bolted right in place. The only change to the gearbox i made was replacing the electronic speedometer sensor with the mechanical one from my 4afe gearbox. It was a direct bolt in.

I've taken picture of just about everthing i've done so far. Everything is pretty straight forward about the swap but it is no easy task. The only difficulties i've expierence are with the power steering and the wring.
I'm just trying to work out the last of the wiring right now. It's poven to be the most difficult part. I've got a few fuse box connections and a few connections under the console left. Has anybody here done this swap before and be willing to offer some advice?
If you want any specifc details or picture just ask.
As far as the driveshafts go here are a few more pictures:

ok, so if i use my 4afe axles they will fit on my silvertop with little difficulty? i was going to take the whole tranny off and use it, but it would be easier this way.Snidley7 said:I'm in the middle of a 20v silvertop swap right now.
