Subarutex Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Not soon after getting the engine all back together and making it run like a scalded dog (aside from the fuel cut) I parked it again. Put it up on its 4 favorite jackstands and started to have fun. Some goodies awaiting to go on the front: A shot of the my rear coilover setup: And a shot of the wheel spacers i'm putting on: More detailed pics to come when project is done...

Subarutex Posted October 19, 2004 Author Share Posted October 19, 2004 KYB GR2 stock replacements with a set of ebay coilovers on them. Bought coilovers for a 91+ subaru. *edit* Not exactly the same as mine, but these should work: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7928186445&category=33582 I'm currently trying to source a set of coilovers for a 2001+ Legacy. They use front strut connections like Impreza's (and xt6's) but use a eyelet connecton on the back like our cars. See this link for some coilovers for the current Legacy GT. http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2848 So pretty! With adjustable height and dampening. But with a 3K price tag, a little out of reach. Also, hard to find in the US. Hopefully with the new GT, parts like these will come more available and cheaper here in the US.

MorganM Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Ebrakes are for suckers Who makes that rim adapter plate? Didn't want to go with custom hubs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Ebrakes are for suckers Who makes that rim adapter plate? Didn't want to go with custom hubs? Need ebrake to pass saftey inspection. Thats a 10MM spacer plate it looks like...he's done the 5 lug conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebz Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Need ebrake to pass saftey inspection. Only in NaziLand... No safety inspections in Washington.. and Ebrake isn't part of the safety inspections here either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flowmastered87GL Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 So... I have always wondered since I want to build up some super-subie someday... how do you insure it?? Is it a stock RX to the insurance company with liability only? Or do you get full coverage and document all the mods "just in case"?? Seeing all the pretty toys going on I am guessing the second route, but am still asking. :-\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. RX Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Hey Corky... I think that's why he called it a "teaser" ;-)Actually I do know the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarutex Posted October 19, 2004 Author Share Posted October 19, 2004 Flow: As far as insurance goes.. Its "stock" and liability only. If I had to pay for full coverage or special coverage insurance, I wouldn't be able to do all this stuf to it. Hopefully in the next year or so my insurance rate should be dropping, I may switch to full coverage at that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaru_styles Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 why the need for the spacers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarutex Posted October 20, 2004 Author Share Posted October 20, 2004 Rubbing on the inside of the wheel well. And, I think it will look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbone Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 On Corky's e-brake question, those are the rear calipers in the pics, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarutex Posted October 20, 2004 Author Share Posted October 20, 2004 Brad, the rims are 2.5rs rims. The stats are: 16x7 53+ offset 16.5lbs 205/55 R16 tires I think its mainly due to the larger sidewall tire i'm running. And my back end sits close the height yours does. Rob, Yes the car has rear calipers. They are those red things :-P And yes, they are the calipers that are staying on the car. Why would I paint parts i'm not gonna use? :-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 What I meant was, that Corky's original question was- Hey, those front brakes don't have an e-brake setup, are they from a Legacy or Impreza?? What are you doing for an e-brake??? When the pics were of the rear brakes . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooinater Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 gotta love that car... i really need to start a street car... can't wait to see this one when it's done!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
