my brother took a few good pics of my car this weekend at WCSS10 and i figured i'd post them up. i just got the front and rear brembos and r180 in just in time for the show



















more pics here

wow that thing is sexy. good job

Should have had a warning on this thread. I'm pretty sure I need new pants.

Best looking Subaru. Period.


Good work Jake, it has been cool to see that car come such a long way!!

I need me some of those brakes.

Honestly, if you swapped the tails for the newer style I't be one of the hottest subies I've ever seen. I just can't grow to love those 1st gen tails for some reason.

U are retarded. The tail lights from a 92-94 1 are ugly as sin and 2 won't fit on the 90-91. Completely different rear 1/4s and all that stuff

Looks good Jake!

nah, i love the way it looks now


thanks guys!!!

What did you do to make the R180 work? Did you use STi rear axles and hibs along with the brakes?

yup, i used the hubs and axles along with the rear brakes to make the r180 work

Sorry to highjack your thread.....



Was the companion flange different? (what your driveshaft bolts to)


I need an R180, and I plan on making hyrid axles at the outer CV joints so I don't have to use the knuckles and brakes. I do have a friend who re-drilled SVX backing plates and rotors to use smaller brakes on his RS, but I'd rather not go that route.

haha, its fine.

the flanges were different but you can take the old flange off of your r160 and transfer it onto the r180.

you used to be able to buy the hybrid axles from driveshaftshop.com but they stopped making them for a while for some reason. that was going to be the way i was going to go but i got the hubs/axles/brakes/rotors/pads for about $300 more than just the rear axles cost from driveshaftshop link

$600!!!!!!!!!!!!

Screw that. I can make my own hybrid axles. I see R180's go for under $400 shipped. Axles aren't that hard to find either.

haha, and thats $600 a side. thats the reason i just said fuck it and bought all the STi shit

Jake, the car looked terrific at the show. Never seen your engine bay looking so clean and put together...sweet!!!

Guys, you missed a midget doing keg stands at this show! It was awesome.

But also thanks to nice guys like Jake some of us come back from the show a little more knowledgeable.

Cheers to you!

AW

very nice looking suby dude

Looking better than ever. Nice wheel choice!

Looking great man! Only caught a sneak of it at the show on saturday. I will have to check it out some more the next time I'm in town.

I personally think this is the best looking car on the board.

The 4th picture does it for me.

And to think, that used to be a STANDARD!
