i've heard that you can glaze your syncros?

Yep, there is a method to deglaze which would decrease the crunching you find with worn synchros

Deffinitly sounds like glazed syncros, very easy to fix

I posted about this on the old forums,

However I will not type up how to do as the proceedure done incorrectly can do damage and i aint taking that resonsibility

Anyone Keen can PM me and I will give you my ph# to call and I will explain verbally how to ..

In fact your the very fella who deglazed mine. Definant improvement.

I know the car, looked at it myself.

Will keep my eyes pealed. And can ask a few "acquaintances" for you.

im fairly sure the sensor is just a water level sensor? Mine was also broken and just threw a light so i unplugged it. The sensor unscrews from the body of the ic after you pop the black rubber cover off

Denso low water sensor, found on 89-91 models this would mean you have a silver cooler right?

Also for your interest, best cooling results have been seen with De-mineralised water plus bottle of Redline water-wetter.

You should put it back on, seen temp probe readout with and with out an it seems worthwhile i can post it up if you would like.

In saying that my previous Legacy RSR didn't have one but i had thermo wrapped the down pipe and didn't have any problems.

Are you Gen 1 boys still using you chimney heatsheild?

[Is this just another product sure to F*^K it all up?]

You won't notice a big difference, your V2 STI RA? ECU is considered an upgrade for Gen 1 Legacys and WRX alike.

Are you sure ADR? It hasn't got racing stripes. What about this version.

[New water-air core]

Sorry bro, he's already sold it. I'm not sure how much the kit would be.. online transaction best bet.

no brass or kevlar clutches wear quickly due to the fact that the pressure plate is so heavy you have to slip them to avoid bunnyhopping the car ;D a standard sti clutch is still quite expencive tho so you could get a 25% urated one from repco. i got one for a customer on my cash card for 379.00 compared to subarus 700.00

Last time i looked on Trademe you can get an Exedy STI 2300mm Clutch kit for $580

Interesting read in MOTOR a couple of issues back, Stock STI vs MRT engine upgrade vs Whiteline suspension upgrade kit.

Obviously the stock STI was out gunned by both upgrades and the two upgrades were tenths of a second apart with the MRT upgrade ahead.

Latest comparison with Focus RS and Mini JCW is not good news for the STI.

http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/carreviews/grouptests/234197/new_focus_rs_vs_rivals.html#

The RS presents much more predigree a than an STI, and despite being FWD is more interesting and arguably better looking.

I mean what happened? how can they have such great previous models throughout the platform range and then release something thats been hamstrung? but then i've never been an Impreza fan..

[Clutch]

Stock clutch will do nicely.

[Front-mount on worked 1st-gen. Worth it]

Well bro, i'd love to believe that you are making 242kw@wheels with that setup.

Could you post a picture of your dyno graph?

[Front-mount on worked 1st-gen. Worth it]

What turbocharger are you running on that setup...?

[WHATS YOUR FAVOURITE/DREAM CAR]

Well thank you Adrian, you at home or work right now?

[New water-air core]

Unless you dyno it before or after, i couldnt say.

When you remove the standard pipe and compare the two its a much larger internal diameter so there must be a gain.

When i put mine on it seemed to boost a bit earlier.

I've got a friend who has one for sale, its blue if that suits? i'll PM him to see if he still has it.

[Front-mount on worked 1st-gen. Worth it]

: I just not a fan of misinformation is all.

People will be using this site as a reference to modify there own Gen 1 Legacys, i love these cars.

legacy666 seriously would like to see your setup would love to be able to say the standard WAIC can suppport that much power at the wheels.

[New water-air core]

You'll have to cut the turbo to intercooler pipe down to suit but thats the kit.

I can go take a pic of it on my car if you want to see it on.

[2009 STI A-Line]

Was only trying to stick up for somebody who shared the same view.

Point is you've missed the point.

Both Ford and VW have produced some absolute Dogs of cars over the years and and still do in some markets.......

Loren, go drive the current model STi, if you still think Subaru aren't up to your lofty expectations, buy another manufacturers car that suits.

Cheers

Mate you need to relax, you'll find most people on here are loyal to subaru, and many of us feel that the new STI is a little soft (it is) we aren't the only ones many publications have had extensive road and track use of a current STI and have the same issues.
