[Dave88]

Can someone explain what an anti lift kit does and how it works?

Thanks

copied from google

"They alter caster angle and dynamic camber with it, and they shift the task of controlling nose attitude from the chassis to the suspension"

Can someone tell me what a pitch stopper does, and whether they are worth upgrading? And how many would a car have? Just 1?

[lachlan]

yes just one .

it stops engine rocking backwards and forwards .

no , upgrading it will achieve nothing . unless its fucked and you replace it with a good one . even then most people say you really cant tell

ps try the search . also just do what koom did (bout half way down )

[lachlan]

the bg5 has fucked a arm bushes ( crunchy ride and noise ) whats the easy fix ? tempted to drill a grease nipple into the mount lol

failing that will the bushes from a v3 gc8 fit ? then the v3 can get a alk

[Koom]

Yeah pretty sure the bushes are all interchangeable. I\'ve swapped between my RS and a few bg5\'s and I\'ve got Impreza once on the RS currently. I think once they leak there\'s no saving them either.

Exhaust manifolds are in three parts right - each head then a crossover - does anyone know if the drivers side bank/collector is the same between tt and single t manifolds?

Random question but someone might have both on hand and be able to fill me in

I\'m pretty close to 100% sure that I\'ve swapped between them. I know there\'s different shapes for the flowy bits but all the flanges end up in the same spots.

[Guest]

I had a passenger side and crossover which just went in a $30 buy now auction on tm along with gearbox bits/rando parts etc. You really need to open your mouth earlier you could get free stuff lol. Stock s/s up to v8 sti are defo 3 piece though.

[Marky]

The thought occurred to me seeing all the ones at strongs with external flanges pre fitted (stupid strongs, too much stuff I want to buy)

Wanting to go twin vf27s but means fking around with drilling covers and making things trying to make the internal gate work - if I can fit one of those ones on its a simple(ER) proposition and probably an improvement over the factory wg setup anyway

[Guest]

Oh you need external, really for muppet spec. Kidding. Id run another one as wouldnt hear it much with boost Im running.

[Marky]

Fuck it\'d sound stupid vented on a legacy - bubububraaaah.... Raaaaaaaah

Plumb in for the win

Was just idle thinking till I get a second car again to start doing more stuffs with wagon

CRC really? I used synlube on my gear shifter bushes works a treat and also on clutch fork pin and it stays noice and lubed. There is a grease that comes with bushes might be a black moly lith fucked if I can remember but that shit is sticky.

[lachlan]

yeah crc really coz it was handy and i wanted to see if that was problem . effort v result was at a ratio of 900% .

Dunno. Never really looked that closely at them as I\'ve generally had then replaced with noltec or nolathane bushes.

[lachlan]

are water banjos the same as oil banjos?

i.e. i dont have the turbo oil feed banjo bolt that goes on the head side feed, can i use a one that is normally a water banjo (that goes on the head side)

(yes i have the right size banjo for the oil feed at the turbo end)

no Bango bolt for turbochargers are oil restrictive and carefully sized to each turbocharger bearing setup and application.

The one into the block wont fit either. As in oil/water or water/oil swap out

its the banjo at the turbo the determines the restriction, i have the right one for that (turbo end)

the ones at the head end are all there abouts the same and have the gause/filter in them
