Very nice!
How do you like the whiteline adjustable links? any problems?
I may look to use these.

Legacy777: Not sure how many people own them but three people (including myself) have broken the MRT arms.
mk750: Looks good. No AC? You should create air blockers for around the radiator. The air will take the easy route around it otherwise.

Those hellas look completely sick peeking through your bumper like that! Very nice job on the red and yellow in the engine bay. Looks good with that blue paint, too.

Yeah I remember you posting about that. Whiteline now has their own adjustable links out. Not sure if they are the same as the MRT's just with a whiteline name, or if they are manufacturing their own......Or I guess it could have been backwards....whiteline manufacturing them for MRT....
What breaks on them?

Leg: No problems at all... yet. I've heard of the MRT arms breaking too, but so far it all seems good. Going from stock rear control arms, with no rear swaybar, and horrible rear camber, to what i have now was pretty incredible. It REALLY tightened things up.
I think what breaks is where the control arm connects to the bushing/housing, they are actaully tubes all the way through not solid bars.
brat: Thanks

The ring that surrounds the bushing is welded to the bar. The up and down motion of the suspension stresses the metal right outside where it was welded and it seperates.

Just my 2c worth, but isn't it a bit dangerous to have the air filter so near the ground? I used to have V6 Ford Sierra (Merkur in the US I believe) 4x4 and managed to knock out the whole injection system when water got picked up after driving through a reasonably deep puddle. The air filter on that car was about a foot higher than your one!
I'm perfectly willing to be wrong (it wouldn't be the first time) or it may be that you live somewhere that it never rains!

It is dangerous. Someone just hydrolocked a 2.5l engine in an outback over on nasioc.

Couldn't he just get an air bypass valve? Or do those work? I have no experience with them...

Hence the reason to be careful, though I am not worried about it ever happening. If somehow it does, there is an extra engien sitting in my garage waiting to be installed.
The bypass valve would work, AEM makes them. I've seen movies/read reviews for them and it seems they work well, but I also hear horror stories about them breaking apart and being injested by the engine.

Did the GFB pulleys do anythign to improve performance? I might be interested in getting some, but I want to make sure they're worth the money. Are those the ones for the WRX?
