What have you done to your car today?

[Dairusire]

I see you have acquired a BE/BH? So I'm obliged to come on here and say - Single Turbo it brah

Yep!

Hahaha honestly, there's that thought going through my head which says I've got a Rev D, I have the right sump, and I've got sti headers and a. Vf36 just sitting there. How long will the standy twin turbos last [emoji14]

You also have like 3 people in the area with Tactrix cables ready to go. Given the supporting evidence it would be wrong not to convert it.

If that F***in thing goes single turbo before the STI is done, you're selling me the STI chassis

 

 

 

CHEAP

So... One of the big downsides about this car I bought is there are things that are a bit rough.... The Previous owner 'broke off a key' in the ignition barrel...and he naturally broke the ignition barrel so he could drive it *rolls eyes*

 

Umm, on a scale of one to really, really stolen, how stolen is the car you've bought?

[thewabbit1]

Got a wof -phew-

 

I hate getting wofs. Always worried something obscure and expensive will cause it to fail

For anyone tired of the poor choice of 5x100 wheels available.

Brand new 1045 billet front hubs we have made up for a good customers rx3

made up so the stud pattern could be changed to 4x114 from the factory 4x110

while still using the factory discs and factory bearings.

Being that wheel choice's limited them we developed a better option.

Did it come free with your $36 coolant hose kit?

[Subru]

Installed Whiteline Anti Lift Kit, Sway bar Bushes, Group N Engine mounts, painted intercooler black (one side only), took off front bar that sits below the grill and got it primed and painted black.

Group N mounts are pretty nice. Start up motor and give it a quick rev and engine barely moves. Only been up and down the road so far and it needs alignment so cant comment on much else atm. As long as the Black intercooler stays somewhat black I think it looks good. Big silver intercooler takes your eye off the car mainly because it doesn't work well with blue imo. Still definitely visible to anyone who cares .

(yes bumper doesn't fit atm)

Wooo! Grats on getting them in! Perseverance is key sometimes.

Would like to know what you make of the Anti-Lift bushings. I'm interested in getting some.

free

 

nah was free from the set I had in the GTB that I sold, originally bought then from @Tony who helped me install them when he was known as Ronin in Palmy

 

gutted, but might explain why it never quite worked right

[RaKid]

New sticker  original one looks pretty sad.

 

@Dairusire p/n here incase you need to replace yours too.

 

 

And also wall mounted my CTEK charger

 

 

Also filled a small windscreen crack and put a new rego holder on.

Well.. I ordered it on Friday, and guess what has just been installed?

Lucky 5 speed guys

I wanna get short shifter kit but costs a bit...

Edit: looking on rallysportdirect now at sti ones, not too bad price considering I was looking at the GFB ones which are $350+

I don't yet have any idea how it works but I've got a corgiwerx ’short shifter’ that’ll be going in shortly. It was pretty damn cheap.

Think it's just a throw reduction rather than throw and height like most.

let me know if its good.

Is it like this?

 

[Individualities]

@Andy_Mac @Subru if you find your reverse lockout stuff is rattling, the Raceseng one is excellent! Do note it only works with some shifters. 

[Subru]

Oh cool, mine does rattle a little.

It says " The R Lock will NOT fit the 06 - 09 Legacy 2.5GT Spec-B or any Subaru with the STI OEM short shifter " What is the "STI OEM short shifter"?

Yea that piece exactly. Can't believe you made me watch that video though. Wish I could get the 11mins of my life back...

 

Yea that Raceng one is still on my eventual to-do list. From what i’d read previously, the top section works with any shifter. But the lower half that attaches to the boot is the piece that doesn't work on the OEM short shifter as the way the base mounts to that one is different.

 

Raceseng

OEM short shifter

 

 

Edit: found the article talking about what fits what and why.

I saw they were at maccas and skipped the first 4 minutes yet I still left with the same feeling haha.

 

I am also on the hunt for a short shifter for the 6-speed that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. I purchased some shift bushes from Corgiwerx recently, I haven’t put the gearbox back in yet to try them out but the guy is super helpful and easy to deal with.

[Subru]

 

Why do I get the impression you think watching someone eat maccas is a waste of time?

 

But yeah I will probably look at that corgiwerx product if you like it.

Im also in the hunt for a rear shifter bush that doesn't cost me another kidney.

 

[Andy_Mac]

Put some new springs in mine along with a lower rear bar that incorporates the sway bar mount strengthening plate so no longer need the Cusco ones. Hopefully I haven't gone too stiff, went from 7kg F 5.5kg R to 9kg on all four. Hard to tell right now as I need to lift it a bit more since it’s banging on the bumpstops on every bump right now.

 

Excuse the rude looking Brembo’s

 

 

Then enjoyed a quality brew whilst mulling over what to do next

I was mainly just using the Wadsworth constant.

 

I didn't get a short shifter or anything, just the harder shift linkage bushes to replace my very worn out bushes.

I've just got a stock rear shift bushing to go in mine. Was going to do it tonight but it couldn't fit out the way I originally thought so i’m going to wait until I have the front bushings to do at the same time and drop that whole rod
