Hmmmmm, I'll have to take a look at that today after my chemistry lab. Did you re-clock the torsion bar or the semi-trailing arms? Did you notice a difference in spring rate or ride quality? Also, how much did it lower the car overall?

Bump!

Let me know how that steering rack stuff works out, I have been fantisizing about that for ages! Why an 04 STi rack? Different from 05 etc? Won't a WRX rack be better than the RX one?

Does anyone have pics/ a write up on how to reclock the torsion bars on an EA81? I want to lower mine, but I'm not sure how to go about it.

I think open source may be a good idea > Linux Lift Kits + i like doing stuff myself, rather than shelling out $$ for other people to do it for me + broke rump roast student student who likes money to stay in the bank. I wish that the specs of the kits were published so that those with the equipment could use that as a basis for their own. I have all the material to make a monster lift, but there is no set-in-stone, proven formula for a lift that I have seen.

PSSST*that probably would have been a good place to start* The EA81 is junk when powering a lifted rig.

You should try to scan that article so we can add it to the USC.

I don't think so. If you used the EA81 flywheel then you're probably in the clear on that regard. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I agree with Baccaruda, I noticed a huge difference in power when my cat was plugged up. All the power my little motor had to BARELY make it up hills was because of that cut up air box. I also haven't run across too many folks (Myself included) on this board who have the means to actually back up any mods they do with hard data (i.e. dyno tuning, measuring flow on a calibrated flow bench, etc). If I sounded a bit offended, that would be why. Its been a long weekend fighting :Flame:The Man.

Show me one example where someone used math...

When I did the 5 speed swap on my wagon, I used the EA82 flywheel with EA81 bolts. There was enough extra space that the flywheel could wiggle around making a knocking sound. I fixed it with some shims. Could this be your problem?

I have a very high quality adapter for sale dude! And its in Bellingham to boot! Give me a call or flag me down if you see me driving.

Michael, would you please reply to my PM?

BOOO-YEAH!!!! I'm there!

You said this couldn't be done on a stock vehicle. Why not?

When the green single pole connectors are connected, the ECU begins displaying any codes. Unplugged, nothing should happen.

Bingo! I would do it this way if/when I do it again.

+1 for a MSD Blaster 2. I'm running one on my 84 T-wagon and its flawless!

I was just checking out your engine bay pic and I have a concern. Please relocate your positive battery cable away from your steering shaft. After my tranny swap I accidently snagged my heater hoses on that and popped them both off. I don't want to think about what would happen with a battery cable!

Its nice to see another EA81T cut free from the 3AT. Let us know how it drives!

^^^ Thats all I needed to hear. Organic disc w/ sprung hub for me!

The VF11 (Leg unit) shares flanges with the TD04.

How about this: On your average GL, yeah that would be pretty bad. Your GL however has the power/speed/handling to back that up so they cancel out.

Delete me please...

Thats awesome that you were able to maintain the trip computer AND ADD cup holders to the setup. Great job!!
