Hey Branden

Nice to see you out there! Looks like you had as much fun as we did.It took three car washes to get the mud off of the Xterra!

Photo's coming soon.

Cheers

Chris

STI struts had their big test last weekend at Laughlin and performed very well
No bends and took the bumps without problems.

OK Legacy guys time to try your Legacy at what it does best,Off Road 2 day Rally-x event at Laughlin Dec 11th and 12th All you need is a helmet and join the CRS and you can try your stuff on a great track by the Ramada Hotel. At to try rally without the cost in your road car.There will be loads of S...

Greg I'll try them. At worst I need a used front left and a used rear right.
Cash is running out after the major rebuild I've just gone through.
I just want a spare set as Laughlin is a three day event and I might need a back up as the STI struts have not been tested off road yet??

Cheers

Chris

I now the suspension set up I want for the Rally car,but need a low cost back up.I have the springs but need either a used good front left GR-2 and right rear or new Fronts and right rear.
for a 1990 Legacy AWD

Chris

OOOOOPs I must have it wrong! cheers dudes.I did a bit of checking with the Alfa guys and found this link.
I must be getting old and my memory fading???

Hi Steve I thought and have read that the bigger the rear anti-roll bar/swaybar the less oversteer? The Turbo has a bigger rear sway bar and I sure they didn't add to induce oversteer. I remember in the UK when the Escort RS1600 came out it would swap ends on the limit and they cured that by adding ...

Road Test: I can either go to work via the freeway or take a canyon road??? So I took the canyon road(he he),a series of tight twists and turns up hill then down. Nobody was about so I gave it some! The present set up seems to work very well,taught but not to the point of jarring your bones. I have ...

I don't know if they are the same but I fitted Impreza/STI rear struts to my 90 Legacy by filing out the top bolt holes by 1/4" outwards(I can now use tapered or non-tapered).Front went on without problems.

Hi Jason

A fine car from a alright dude! He's coming down to Laughlin next month with the Nelsons/Tabors.
Should be fun www.rallyusa.com

Cheers

Chris

Yes Jason I think that's the problem.The car was built up in Bend OR and they have great smooth roads,we on the other hand do not! Rallying in CA is very much like the Middle East events,I used wedge,weld and strengthen everything and not much broke??? You got me thinking about the wheel holder stra...

Struts always bend where I have the wedge.I've rallied since 1989 and that's where they go.even Bilstein used to wedge the MK2 Rally Escort struts the same. I have bent both front and rear on the Legacy at this point.I do a photo soon. Nice tip for spare wheel ,I'll check that out thanks Cheers Chris

To sum up my STI Strut swap .... Front standard set up (USDM 04 Impreza STI) good ride height and stiffer (Spring rate 200lbs)for road. Rear Standard set up as above but spring rate 130/200lbs(need to file out the top three mounting holes outwards by about 3/8" With front KSFS-22 springs fitted...

Just to show we have two out there,I've posted some photo's of Rob's car

Thanks James!

I've posted some photo's of Rob's car , Seeing double!!!

I wasn't sure if you were joking as some die hard guys get picky if it's not the right colour. It was funny when I painted it,I did two Legacy's in the same day the same colour so everything ended up blue,even my shoes and the factory I painted it in!!! I do laugh every time I visit that factory as ...

Greg

We have some fun with it! Sometimes we (rally guys) get together for a few beers and do some timed runs a long with some time on the computer rally game for a fun rally night.
Those slots I got local and the track is from England.

Cheers

Chris

Blue is the old early blue?? Exhaust is Borla type header with a Cat off an Alfa into 2 1/4" flowmaster single box system. Loud it is,but sounds good. Header seems to give a little more power,I needed one as I ripped the other one off and it was cheaper to buy this header off ebay. Diff guard y...

OOHH1! forgot to say ,the reason the STI struts work for me is that you can undo the bottom nut at the base of the strut and remove the insert(after spring are removed) so then you can weld them.Plus you can replace the insert and as the insert is upside down,less flex. Normal strut,Big bang??? Chee...
