TRF, looks like it is in need of a bling paint jon ;P
Agreed, but as long as the inside diameter of the 501x diff rings are the same as the ta05/415 diff rings, then they should fit (even if they aren't keyed to the outdrive) and would then allow you to put the diff balls in the outer ring (ie standard position).

I might try it with a set of TA05 precision diff outdrives (the plastic ones) - at least they're cheap if it doesn't work.

Having said that, its possible that the delrin-style outdrives will wear less than the alloy versions with blades , so perhaps for stock class at least that may be the better option.

I know my Evo 5 chews through the alloy outdrives quicker than my other (delrin outdrive) cars!
