NA 2.2 with CAI and opened up exhaust with UEL headers, stock ecu and engine management, I get 23-25 towing, which is a huge improvement over stock, in general mixed city highway driving it varies between 25ish if I am running it hard to about 30 if I am being very conservative. On a longish road t...

That's a very impressive n/a torque curve. From where do you source the EJ20D heads? I announced building the project on my FB and a friend responded with an engine he had planned to use. He, neither anyone else, could identify it. At first, I thought it was a full EJ20D from port size, but then he...

I was looking for some info for my OTHER project car, my 09 wrx, and ran across something interesting on the COBB website. They were talking about tuning engines that had been built with forged parts for durability and the fact that the stock detonation detection system is fairly aggressive. So they...

Hey does anyone know if the end pre facelift housings are still available? If so, please pm me the details.

anyone that can make a recommendation please chime in...this is time sensitive I need to get parts in hand by monday of next week!!!!!

Ok, multiple engine R&Rs and two transmission R&Rs have trashed the year old shift bushings in my wagon...dang it. So rather than put stock back in...is there an upgraded bushing set available without having to change linkage? If so, where? If not, who makes the best OEM style bushing set? G...

:| Thanks for the info Mike...I will be looking it over closely when the old one comes out...and hopefully getting the solution right based on your advice. I bought dealer parts the last time and cant say im happy with how that turned out. So we will pursue your recommendations. I found a local shop...

ok Mike, nice idea in principle, but I am trying to stay with the cable operated clutch and not make the change to hydraulic...if I am not mistaken, arent all the wrx clutches hydraulic and they become the push type instead of the pull type like the cable type is?

Ok, some of you may be following the project wrxish as it progresses. I have just taken delivery of the second engine within a year after the first one developed a rod knock after about 6k miles. This new powerplant has some serious beans and the 6000 mile clutch cant hold the new engine. Normally a...

I'd concur with the tire size change if you're super-anal. There's online calculators that will tell you how high or low a certain tire size will make it. But 5mph is within normal error margin anyways, unless you live somewhere like Virginia where tickets for 2mph over are common. I live in va and...

I wonder where this car is and what kind of shape its in now

I'm guessing this didn't go anywhere

Thanks for the answers guys, and gotta love the boots hehe:-)

I am trying to upgrade rotor size only and keep the single piston calipers...better braking without spending a fortune. So my intent is to use the larger SS rotors with the standard single piston caliper and the pads that match the standard caliper. Will that work?

The thread that will never die....I did a size increase on the 16x7.5 53mm offset rims I got from tire rack by mounting up 225 50s sumitomo all seasons on them and have created maybe the best combo I have tried yet. All 4 fender lips have to be rolled tightly for clearance and even with that it rubs...

As near as I caninterpret what I have read, going from the standard l wagon 10.2 inch rotors to the 10.9 inch rotors used on the ss wagon is a matter of changing caliper mounting brackets on the front and reusing the standard calipers and the rear stays the same. Could someone who really knows weigh...

I just changed to 225 50 16s on the 91 wagon and have major clearance issues in the rear....major fender lip rolling required and im also running coilovers. Inside clearance ok outside not enough with the 53mm offset wheels 7.5 inches wide

Thanks josh, picked up fwb at dealer today. 65 bucks roughly. Did not buy hub there, that was 150 for Subie brand part. Wonder how much of a press is needed to press bearing into place. Any idea?

Its been barely a year and I'm going to have to replace front wheel bearings....again. I only want to do this once. What's the best choice for this?

205/40/17 on a 9.5" wheel :) http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160621/458d707579794f7eb223fe6ade1d1ed3.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk that car is pretty slammed....I cant imagine that you could drive it most places around here without it dragging something vital. The sidewalls on those...

If you do some searching, there's an early 90's Honda application that works almost perfectly in the firstgen Legacy. There aren't any direct-fit parts. Thanks for the info Alphius, I will look around and see what I can find...I am also considering trashing the ashtray and mounting the gauges there...

The wheels should fit just fine. What size tire are you planning to run? The stock WRX tire 205/55 r16 is a tad tall and may rub on the spring perch. 205/50-16 will work well and give u some shorter gearing as well...its a really good combo. no clearance issues with H&R springs, approx 1" ...

In some ways, I wish I was parting it out...lol. The leggy rejuvenation project has become an all consuming monster that gobbles up ridiculous amounts of time and money and has largely become a PITA. That said, I enjoy driving the car and like having something that no one else has. I can drive local...

hehe, love me some boots

Its time to kick this thread again...as the sorting process continues. I have a fairly decent running engine now, the IACV seems to be happy where it is and how it is. The engine starts from dead cold revs immediately up to about 2000 then settles over a few seconds to just over 1000 rpm. Once warme...
