All of a sudden I seem to have found the desire to attend...

Touche Excuses excuses

Cost of the lunch ain't the issue so much as the logistics and 6 and a half hour drive

Ehhh I hadn't planned on it... I certainly wouldn't have the Outback on track but tossing up the Saturday lunch and karting.

BYEEEE FELICIA

Woah, keep it PG please...

Complaining about a non-issue, particularly considering you've never driven a manual... I'm not trying to be a dick here, but don't knock something till you've tried it mate.

Why no consideration given to the 6 speed?

Damn right they were, absolute nightmare.

Yeah dude, I can probably dig out some more if needed...

@lions tigers and beers straight swap, will bolt up however the bump stops will need to be changed to accommodate the reduction in travel. I had Bilsteins with STi Pink springs out of a 3.0R wagon in my Outback for a period of time, riding on the bump stops permanently wasn't fun... Camber arms / upper control arms shouldn't be required if using standard GT springs (I definitely required them even with my set up as I had about 2 degrees worth of nonadjustable negitive camber). @delta I can't remember whether you had swapped your bump stops or not?

@Do it yourself /reliable! Hey dude, I'm not the best person to answer your queries. Just didn't want to leave you hanging! ps. welcome to the club!

Agreed, buy the $70 fitting kit and life goes on...

That Cusco brace is an absolute bargin, what a steal...

Not going adjustable?

I stand corrected, is actually a 21mm bar. I would say yes. But depends on what type the 18mm bar you're looking at is... it would be neutral gain or even a downgrade potentially. ps. my set (as stated above) may or may not be coming up for sale in the next couple of months...

Yeahp, got my Ultra Racing parts from them. An 18mm rear sway bar isn't much of an upgrade... As mentioned, my rear one is a solid 22mm.

Check out my post... Front strut brace, does sweet F all but is STi and looks cool (as mentioned previously, cheap as chips so why not). Ultra Racing 21mm solid rear sway bar, generic adjustable endlinks from BNT. MASSIVE improvement, highly recommend as up-rated RSB. Ultra Racing 2 point rear lower brace, unsure of the benefit alone as all these components were installed together... Probably does something. Ultra Racing 4 point front lower 'K' brace, won't fit my model - is sitting in my garage... D2 adjustable coilovers with 32 way damping and front camber plates, biggest benefit to handling by lowering centre of gravity and reducing body roll (along with RSB). Truhart (not the best brand but they work) adjustable rear camber arms as too low and need to correct rear camber... Bridgestone Potenza RE003. Harsher ride provided by the adjustable coilovers which is my preference, all other bracing etc wouldn't sacrifice comfort in my opinion. Still the VERY BEST handling modification you can make is to purchase a good set of tyres, no point having all these upgraded components with some cheap and nastys on all four corners (god forbid they're mismatched too). The RE003 I have currently are incredible and I doubt I'll ever buy another brand/model of tyre again. I love this set up, I throw this car into corners at speeds that others would only dream of! Always holds its line and has ZERO body roll. Peace ✌🏼

Good man.

Actually, just reviewed my policy. Zero excess on glass claims...

Your excess will be $400 I'd imagine, $380 incl. GST at Smith & Smith sounds like a go!

If Lisa is in fact her real name...

@SpeedySub anything missing?

Whoops sorry to offend Ben! Perhaps you could take part...? 🤔

Bump.
