v3-6 bonnets are all identical, there is no difference around the lights/grill area. There is only a difference comparing v3-6 to 1/2 bonnets/light/grill
wrong way round
stoffa's talking about putting r180 hubs on and using r160 brakes. you guys are thinking r160 hubs and r180 brakes
the v3 sti r/ra are a unique thing so none of the conventional methods are applicable anyway...
no he cant ..
the r180 diff requires r180 axles, r180 axles require r180 hubs.
closest things he can do is run version 3 sti r/ra r180 hubs which use GC r160 brakes (but also require a special rotor), or use an r160 3.9 rear diff and his existing stuff.
incidentally i have some complete v3 sti r hubs, rotors and calipers spare
Done this a couple of times... Take the bolt at the top off so the top hat and spring can come off
Then there should be a nut on the bottom, undo that.
Then the centre shaft should either come out, or be free to be unthreaded depending on the design. Once it's loose/free at the bottom the strut shaft will pull out of top of the housing
jesus christ
firstly, the flutter noise is the boost gauge leaking because autogauge is shit
secondly, you will measure negligible vacuum as you're not measuring after the throttle body
thirdly, plumb it up properly, tee it to a vac line connected to the plenum
yeah it's an accelerometer, part of the abs system. not sure about gc8's but the GD's have two of them to measure lateral and longitudinal acceleration
if you have a link, hook it up to an analogue input and datalog it
