Back to the drawing board. Last Monday night both rear brakes caught on fire while I was driving up our mountain. Have 25 days to find and repair the problem as recharge a fire extinguisher. Grrr....

The 0.75" master for the rear brakes is the ticket! Both master cylinders' push rods now travel the same distance and the pedal travel barely increased. The pedal feel is marginally more spongy but its much easier to feel the brakes through the pedal now.

Will do Josh, if it ever gets here. It's probably on time I am just impatient. Also picked up an innovative LC-1 last week for some tuning. Looking for a new center and rear diff in the mean time. Anybody looking to sell one? Does anyone know for sure the NA gear sets are weaker than the turbo? I ha...

I ordered a .75 master cylinder to do some testing with. I am going to try it out in front and rear to see how it is. Finally found others with a dual setup and they are running .7 front .75 rear which is what I bet I will end up with. I see pedal travel increasing a bit but not much and I think fee...

I will get a picture. I emailed tilton since I have their master cylinders. His belief is that I mathematically, I don't have enough rear brake and should have the 13/16" (0.812") front and rear. But he said that doesn't align with what I am feeling in the car. Looks like I may be buying a...

The only thing I used the spreadsheet for was for the size of the caliper pistons and the effective brake diameter. I gave those to a gentleman who does brakes for Lemans teams and the Ford WRC team and he shot me back giving me the master cylinder sizes. Here is what he said: "Is this for an A...

Hmm the guy who gave me master cylinder sizes works for Performance Friction and generally deals with ALMS cars but rallies in his spare time. The problem with switching the master cylinders is nearly halve my front break torque and double my rear brake torque which would compound the problem more I...

I have used different tires for testing gravel, snow, and street all tested on the asphalt. I was having similar issues and the rear would lock up before the front. The front never really dives no matter the pressure I put into the pedal. I have no other proportioning device and there is no form of ...

I am not super confident with them and its a multi part problem I think. in my video you can see the rear of the car come over on both left turns @ 33sec & 43 sec (in the vid). This run was our last and that was the least eventful time. Over the weekend I slowly moved bias forward which made thi...

Any other options for radiators out there? I was told multiple time over the week end that the front of my car smelled of antifreeze. there were no leaks from the engine, it wasn't burning coolant, and the coolant level never went down drastically. But I think it may be weeping just the slightest bi...

Thanks! I will post a full video when the navi is finished editing. The problem is I am now starting to shake with withdrawals and I won't be able to race again until September do to work and weddings. From there I am planning on Snowdrift and Idaho rallies for 2014, as well as more a colorado hill ...

I went the dual master cylinder route (front and rear are separate) and added a handbrake. I can echo that its a lot of work and does make it nice for a stage but I also think I rely on it too much now and I feel lazy. I posted a vid in my build thread the other day.

Has anyone upgraded to the 290x18mm rotors? And are they a vented rotor? Also what are the chances you can cram those or the regular H6 upgrade under some 15" wheels?

Here is a teaser from our first event. http://youtu.be/HUgxMGngaiI Car is amazing! Without a full tune we were down on power from everyone in our class and we still took fourth! I am sure that is in no small part helped by the Guard Transmission front diff which kept the front stable and took the ca...

Car is up and running! I am currently running the car on the stock tune in the ESL board which I believe is the stock "Z4" tune from an ej20G wrx, but it is rescaled for the newer yellow STi injectors. THis car is a riot! I can't believe how utterly slow my wifes wrx feels in comparison. T...

Just about there. Would be driving it tonight had a rear stainless brakeline not burst while I was bleeding the brakes. Here she is with the winter tires, and just in time too

That is gorgeous! I am very jealous of the rotisserie, that had to make seam welding easier.

How much are the sub frames? I am thinking those would go well with my project

Quick update on what I have been up to. Fabricated a handbrake mount http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/09/21/y3e7y2ej.jpg Painted interior http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/09/21/byra9umu.jpg Last night I started to rerun the wiring. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/09/21/da4e3ehe.jpg Working a lot into late hour...

Where to start... I am still working, my bike shop salary doesn't lend itself to dropping giant piles of money to get this thing finished all at once. But progress has been coming along almost nightly at this point. I will do a few events this year dang it! triangulation and rear strut tower support...

New front diff courtesy of Guard transmission. This thing is gorgeous there really is no comparison with the previous thing I was using.

Also will have the pedal box to convert to hydraulic clutch and a 06 impreza clutch master cylinder works with the legacy turbo slave cylinder (not included) $50.

eBay impreza 97-01 rear strut brace $15

Added some plating to support the struts http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t91/bmxpunk2/b9f16240.jpg Some welding work completed tonight. http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t91/bmxpunk2/651cbf98.jpg And a little painting after http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t91/bmxpunk2/20f90f14.jpg Ordered a f...

Lateral links and the ESL board

rear diff came out of an impreza and it is an open diff. For what it is worth, it was replaced by ca legacy diff they are interchangeable

Who did your cage? The windshield bar looks like its bent the wrong direction. Grant Hughes of No Coast Motorsport/Colorado Rally Group. That picture is definitely an optical illusion. I have already spoken with MIke Hurst at Rally America and I have my log book in hand. I have started installing n...
