Old Man Emu / King springs do a 1" lift for a Forester. Could get these via a local ARB agent.
I have seen some other Aussie Subis with a 2" lift,But these were with parts sourced from US or Custom modified parts.

Hmn; I mean we tolerate non- subaru cars here; but things that aren't even cars?
haha actually jealous; I want a duke monster.
I put in my replacement park light on the drivers side; now I can get the guard repaired. waiting til thursday; as I actually get a couple of days off then..
A Duke does sound like a suby in a way...

I went to order some parts for my Ducati, and for the first time ever, it was cheaper to buy stuff from the stealership than it was off ebay/online....
How times have change...

I had insurance for race cars, but only for fire/thief. Funny thing fire included on track stuff lol. There was an option for "race" damage but it was more for very expensive exotics/rare chassics.

I priced up some S401 gear once, got sold the same story. Said they needed the chassis code and serial number. Few minutes searching on net and got a pic of a s401 vehicle plate with all the numbers.
Where theres a will theres a way.....

The rear shocks in the BE/BH arent strut, so a knock would be more than likley a bush.

You can make it work.
When i did mine I replace clutch master cyclinder with a v8 one. Also i had Samco TT hose kit which let you get a good angle on the IC. Using the v8 and BE ic brackets i managed to cut/weld to suit.

Woah!
Highest i\'ve seen (other than commercial trucks that have done over a million km\'s) was a landcruiser that was coming up to the 700 mark
/quote]
Drove my landcruiser from 60,000 km to 460,000 km in just on 25 years
pretty much knew that truck inside out and upside down still have it not sure what I am going to do with it to be honest now have a hilux which I am adding K\'s to at an exorbitant rate,
I think with that kinda use you\'ve had your moneys worth out of it so you may as well keep it
Seen a few taxi\'s which are on their second trip around clock. There also was a RS legacy in Rotorua which was in the 700\'s but was very tidy.

Autolign told me from $100 a corner to $250-$300 + GST if a new insert was needed. That was a couple years ago now. ( I hate went people dont qoute GST on Retail prices grrrr)

When I home next, I can take a pic of a v9 STi and a v12 STi cooler together.

If you re-read my comment, I underlined Force. Braking force. Not Stopping distance.

What I know is going to my 315mm 4 pot fronts over stock 277mm 2 pots I dont get fade where I used to get it a fair bit driving hard. If you stomp them they literally try to throw you from the car when the pads are hot.

Car will NOT stop quicker with bigger brakes..........Bigger brakes just reduce fade.
Well somethings different as when the pads are up to temp they bite really really well. Wouldnt know if it stops quicker or not but the initial bite is a hell of a lot different.
Because there is more pad area and less "acceptable" therefore noticeable initial pad "warming" fade. Re my first post when i posted this topic. Better compound,construction and wider tires will stop you quicker.
Bigger Rotors create more leverage, so there would be more stopping force given the same enegry input.
Think of differece of effort using a 300mm strong arm vs. a 1000mm strong to undo the same bolt.

Well if subaru ever bring out a $800K plus super STi.. who knows what it could do.
A top spec Super-Kart witgh a good driver would be faster round the track than most of these supercars.

Best bet is to take some measurments of what size you are wanting, and have a look at either K&N or the like online. Should be able to put in measurments and come up with a filter thats close to it.

Heres a dumb question. Ive recently fitted a facelift bonnet on the gc8. The vents have missing covers. Left side is aimed directly to the battery.
Would it short if I was driving in the rain and water got through and into the connection between the + and - of the battery
Not alot. 12-14Vdc isnt strong enough to track across and cause any problems.

Throttle blip on Downshift
in Gearbox and Drivetrain
Posted
When you dis-engauge the clutch you are taking the engine load off the GB, if you are still getting rough changes then you need oil change or you have problems in box.
You blip your throttle to match engine rpm with the drivetrain so when you drop clutch after gear downshift you dont get "load shock" of the drivetrain/engine trying to all synchronize to the same speed (weakest point breaks first - Compression skids, popped input shafts etc etc)
Motorbikes use a slipper clutch to help take this load shock away...
Many years ago I use to have ignition module which could create a "misfire" so you could flat shift on upshifts.
