    So the prodrive 18s were unfixable! says arrow wheels - every wheel buckled + dented in and out (thought only 1 needed repair)

    Lucky the guy I bought them off was happy for me to return them

    Grabbed these instead - Similar to ROTA GRID wheels but with a better offset for subaru (sits inside the guard rather than sticking out)

    Getting Arrow to repaint them tomorrow (same colour as they are or black - havnt decided)

    Thats what a few US guys have done but that price is pretty farkin crazy. Have also heard of people somehow getting extra pad material bonded to the existing shoes, but that seems to have issues with cracking over time.

    Can't beat perfectly fitting Legacy 190mm rear drums though can ya ;) 

    Damn, is that for one side or both sides?

    Yep I am running the DBA rotors that @sobanoodle linked :) 

    I think when it comes time to replace them I'm going to go with thicker rear shoes instead 

    So with the thicker shoes you can just use normal sti brembo rear rotors? Where would I find the shoes?

    Had THIS SET, inserts and adapters. You won't like the price :D

    Imho you can probably machine down a set of old Brembo rotors, reckon that's what they do anyway.

    The DBA option will most likely be cheaper lol 

     

    I'll keep searching for the part numbers

     

    Thanks for your help bro

    Fronts: bolt-on

    Rears: adapters and need to address 170mm to 190mm step up in hand brake size. Thicker handrake shoes/inserts/DBA rotors. 

     

    I had inserts, afaik @Invisible runs DBA rotors specifically designed to address the issue, does not know of anyone running thickened shoes.

     

    Got a link to the inserts you used?

    Do I need to change the front rotors?

     

    I remember seeing the DBA rotors a while back

    So, my last week has been absolutely mental. 

     

    Started Monday, with lots of work done over a full day to get the fuel system done on the RA. 

     

    Basically, Monday - Tuesday I took out the old fuel tank and replaced with the newer Version 10 STi tank. Which, yes, it fits. and Version 5 onwards I can confirm even though v5-6 STi have a 5 wire plug, they work perfectly with the GDB 4-plug pump hanger and fuel readers. So this has solved my fuel surge issues entirely that plagues the GC8's.

     

    After this was done, car was taken to Ajay aka @Subirex Automotive on Tuesday night and Wednesday I was there from about 11am onwards, ripped out the intake manifold, stripped of the old fuel rails, and then stripped engine bay of the old lines.

     

    This was all replaced by Teflon braided black lines and AN fittings. Christ they're expensive, but so so worth. 

     

    Used is the following: 

    Teflon braided black lines

    Many AN fittings from EARLS I believe

    EARLS Fuel pressure Gauge

    Aeromotive Fuel Pressure Reg in Black

    Aeromotive e85 compliant fuel filter

    Aeroflow top feed fuel rail conversion kit which didn't fit so had to make brackets from Stainless

    Bosch (real ones) 1000cc top feed injectors

    Link e85 Flex Fuel Sensor

     

    After one hell of a mission by Ajay and I (mostly Ajay, not gonna lie), we finished at 7am... YES ALL NIGHT... and I then trailered the car down to D-Tech Thursday morning for the car to have the Storm G4+ wired in because unfortunately things just didn't pan out there up in auckland.

     

    I was totally resigned to the fact I was not getting my car back until at least monday but @Tony at D-Tech and their team managed to pull a rabbit out of the hat and got it all running and done by Friday that next day! Absolute champions and I cannot recommend and praise them more.

     

    So all done and dusted, I ran out of money so only got the 98 Tune done, however I made a very happy 192kw and 348nm at the wheels on a suuuper hot day with my poultry version 5 STi intercooler.

     

    Next plans are to get possibly a larger turbo (thinking GTX3076R) and front mount then get er dooooone on e85 :D This won't be happening for some time as I've got some loose ends to tie up but for now... That's the end of my build :D

     

     

    Where the are all the pics? Any pics of the fuel tanks?
