mmm version 4 sti seats :spin:
DUDE! I LOVE MY V4 SEATS! I wouldn't trade them for Brides, or anything! I might swap them in and out with something else for track or something from time to time but I'll never give them up.

[RCKSTR]

so whats the next step for this project? now swap out the drivetrain?

I saw you're swap'n out for 5x114.3 hubs, what wheels are you going to rock?

[bratman18]

Looks like an awesome project!!!

[Seraphinwolf]

Yeah I need to get teh 4eat out and pull all that stuff out. Then I'll bring the 6MT in and subframes/xmember. I need to pay off the hubs and the rest of the 06' parts so I can get them.

[Seraphinwolf]

Looks like an increadibely expensive project!!!
Fixxed it.

[bratman18]

Fixxed it.
:lol:I'm sure, but most projects are!!! I'd love to do a 6spd swap in the future!!

[DC679731]

that looks hot i wish i could do that to my wagon

[Seraphinwolf]

You know it's always great when my mother suggests things on the late side. Before I left to Nebraska she suggested to build a shed.... I talked to her and my dad about that like a year ago and they shot it down. Now that it's November she says something...:unamused: I do need a shed or a seperate or extended garage me thinks.
I know what I'd really like to build but that would be a HUGE shoot down.

[Spilner]

Nice project makes me want to move on my widebody, that'd make 3 of us that i know of in New England. Is this going to be all motor or you going FI with it eventually?

[Seraphinwolf]

NA build it till 400 bhp then FI with I'm thinking a GT40R twinscroll and 9-9.5:1 compression.

[Seraphinwolf]

So I worked out the deal for my CF hood and no L'Ackey is going a LOT farther West. :up: LA area to be more specific. Now I just need to find time to take off at some point to go out and work with Bakemono-Imports AKA My budy Trey. :D

[Spilner]

NA build it till 400 bhp then FI with I'm thinking a GT40R twinscroll and 9-9.5:1 compression.interesting, any plans for the car or is just gonna be a street monster?

[Bu11dogg2]

is it done yet?

[CTATV]

wow thats a sick project! never knew you were working on this

[Seraphinwolf]

interesting, any plans for the car or is just gonna be a street monster?
Oh DD for a bit with track days or somethin till later. Then full streetable cage and stuff for a crazy Street legal(hopefully) Time Attack BEAST!
is it done yet?
You got like $8-9k to give me? Cause that's the basics of finishing this up. I'm waiting on AEM aswell to finish their ECU development for this. One good leap forward will be when I get a parts car that is kinda a failed EZ swap. It's actually the OG of the EZ30R swap. Therewas a fueling issue and it hasn't run more than like a mile since ECS fired it up for the first time. Been sitting since. Can you say crate motor? Can you also say Hydra?(I may throw that in just to put it on the street when I save up the money to pick up the car)

wow thats a sick project! never knew you were working on this
Really? But I don't shut up about it! Well either way now you do.

[Bu11dogg2]

so you have the motor just no EM?

[Seraphinwolf]

so you have the motor just no EM?

Yep. And this Parts will give me at least something to run on for now and also will turn my current motor into my back up and/or what will get torn appartment for the turbo build. :up:

[Bu11dogg2]

I see.


got the turbo's yet?

[Seraphinwolf]

I see.


got the turbo's yet?

No that's phase 2. And it will be one turbo. Just one really big one! :devil: Actually looking for a bit of lag just soni'm not TEH UBBER BOOST OF D00MZ!

[Seraphinwolf]

So I'm back on looking at picking up a Phase I 2.5 to drop in to pit her on the road once the powertrain is settled.... :( It makes me sad to think of this but it might just be fore the best while I figure the loose ends out. Plus the SVX is getting to the point thatbif I don't stop driving it daily with out dropping some money on it it will fall into the "dire need of work" category. This sucks when my rent is 1/5 of my monthly take home and I have so much that needs to get taken care of that I need to keep from spending money on the SVX. Then again also looming into a spare EG to get set to drop into the SVX also to deal with part of those worries. :sigh: life of owning two on going projects.

[Seraphinwolf]

Carbon Fiber hood is being started on as we speak... Well should be anyways.

[Seraphinwolf]

this I need to pick up soon. And was supposed to be what the CT meet I set up was ment for me to go get... Till I forgot he's home from school the following weekend. Hence the second one! :lol:
http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/3829/parts027.jpg
And as well I need to pay for my STi steering rack from another guy on RS25.

Oh and I got somewonderful news a few hours ago. :unamused: My STi hubs, control arms, struts and springs, cluster and a few other parts... Yeah the guy might have sold the car off whole on me and not pulling my parts that I put a deposit on and was waiting on a shipping quote before paying the remainder. SO, I need to call after class tomorrow and see what's up with that. I'll be livid if he did! I NEED those parts at this point.

[Seraphinwolf]

Picked up some fiberglass resin and fiberglass matting. should be starting to work at that custom carpeting project soon. First I gotta pull the parts in the car out and store them somewhere else safe and relay down the stock carpet so i can smother it to death with resin and have a solid piece to make my molding work from for the new carpet's sectional shells.

[Seraphinwolf]

Sitting in my car waiting for a call back so I can pay for mu STi parts.
Cluster
control arms
hubs
dash
dash beam
all the remainin dash bits
springs and struts

Will feel good to have that all paid off and still have a little coin to pay a few other people I owe money to.
Rob: I haven't forgotten just need to clear this first.

[Bu11dogg2]

what is your expected finish date?

[Seraphinwolf]

LOL Expexted finish date? Yeah right.I gave up on the concept a long time ago. I would like to think Summer of next year though. I have most of the parts. Just a matter of filling jn the gaps and figuring one or two things out.

[Seraphinwolf]

I'm really digging this sound clip. :D Only mine will be more legit.... as soon as I get it done.

wow, you're doing all this yourself?! that's amazing! i've always wanted to build a car from the ground up. in high school, i wanted to build an engine so bad i took auto shop so i could. one of the other girls in my class and i only ended up doing a lawn mower engine but it was a start... at least it worked after we finished tearing it down and building it back up!

Damn maybe I shoulda gone to HS in Maine? Nah... Dan's lucky. You are a rare find!
But yeah as much of the mechanical I can get done I'm doing my self. The wiring... Not so much. I'm to paranoid about it with this car. Too many little things that could go wrong all cause I accidentally spliced two wrong wires. I'll get a shop or beg and plead with someone who's done it before to do it. If it were just a WRX or STi swap sure I"d give it a shot. NOT THIS! OH HELLS NO! I was having fun yesterday morning with people on RS25.com responding to my post in a thread of "what is your Subi getting for xmas" or something like that... I posted the "short" list. :D Then a few responces in told people to just look at what I've already got and just what I've picked up this year alone! I think some of them cried a little

well it's always good to have a hobby... even if it does drain your wallet. i can tell you for christmas dan and i got eachother stuff for our cars :lol: and even if you aren't doing the wiring, the rest of it is a pretty big job so good luck with it all!

I wish I got more done today.... but I didn't do anything. Well not with the car. Cooking my turkey right now. Went to a bonfire at a friend's house wit dem beers and dem hot dogs and marshmellows. Mmmmm.....

97'=OBD2.... Yeah I know, OBD2 with a standalone.... I know. I"ve got it covered. :cool: But yeah I know what you mean about the $700 for a simple harness. I still don't want to risk the cost on frying a standalone cause of a bad ground wire or something. Still need the exhaust shured up too. Got a few options in the works on that too. Just gotta fight the urge to do the turbo piping and blow up a motor with stock everything but injectors.

[squeethebee]

Oh, I don't see any problems with OBD2 and a standalone, I know a guy running that in an '08 with no problems. I'm just saying the only part of my swap I am NOT doing is the harness, so I would hardly consider it "simple".

Yeah, exactly that. I just don't know who yet or with which moneiez I will pay for it. :( Trying to figure out how I'm gonna pay my rent and pay off sone parts... I'll figure it out though. In the mean time work, school, and a few small projects to get started/done.

Aaaaannnndddd!!!!

:shrug: Free seems cheap enough to me and I can have fun practicing tearing it appart and maybe if I get bored enough find a second and... EG33=twin TB.

I guess tearing them apart is fun, all 10 minutes of it. Pretty sure they are way to small for a 6cyl, but whatever floats your boat.

That would be the point of it in the EG. The EZ will get a GT40R twinscroll and run 9-9.5:1 compression. :)

[Seraphinwolf]

either fabritate sheet metal or others of the like. Basicly either extend the factory ones or make something new. I don't know what you'd run for the rears. I'm doing a steel widebody in the rears so it's metal for me to deal with.

1. dropped in the ocean, still worked but froze up
2. met un untimely demize at 75MPH + floor when I got mad

Hey, do you have insurance on your phone? cause when I break mine I get a new one free of charge ;) does the iPhone offer that?

You mean Capacity? :lol: Granted mine comes with less, but I can have greater if I choose to buy it and my phone costs less, and my memory card can go from my phone, to my car stereo with no wires (and iDon't need a stupid iPhone application) ;)

Not really. Pretty much just trying to figure my money out so I can try to go back to saving to pay for parts. I'm still waiting also for Nate to give me the six speed shift linkage. I Also now need to maybe sell the SPT to buy the GReddy. :D Yah birthday present to myself! Ontop of I still need to get ahold of Kevin Garage Tuning which is a feat in of it's self, inorder to pay off my STi bits from them so Trey can pick them up for me. Oh and u need to ship the L to California! So there's another money sink, but at the gain of custom composite parts. :)


by the time its done they will have come out with a GT90R

[Seraphinwolf]

Merry Xmas to my self and all the parts I've acquired over this year. Kinda wish I could add my 06' STi parts to the list though. :(

[ridered777]

Updates?

You should sell me your [SVX] coilovers and have more money for your EZ build...

[Seraphinwolf]

LOL good one Craig. Updates are i'm picking up Greddy Ti catback and InJen DP this weekend. Hopefully sell my SPT catback and have money to buy some 2.5's to get my car back on the road if people who owe me parts and money ever DO GIVE ME WHAT I NEED THEM TO!

[ridered777]

Every day is count down to Saturday at the RI meet at Dave&Buster's!

Sorry, but if you think spending TWICE as much on your taillights, as I did my swaybar + adjustable endlink combo with bushings (One of only 12 in existance!), is going to make ME the jealous one, you're seriously mistaken!

[Seraphinwolf]

So I got more goodies on Saturday night...

Mmmm.... turbo manifold. Stock but hey if I actually go through with the turbo I'll get something better later. Either way it flows better than a NA manifold so I may do what a local guy to me did to his 07 2.5i Legacy and made and in between pipe to the normal piping.

Is it funny that I'm in short "finishing" my basement for the purpose of reorganizing car parts? Will post results. Nothing dance but it looks pretty damn good.
Now on to what I actually DID tonight. Since I had all this new stuff and needed to refigure out all my parts in the basement... Here we go.
Start:
Move **** out of the way and straight up displace EVERYTHING!

Line up first board and leave a gap at the bottom cause we tend to have a small flooding issue in the spring sometimes when the ice and snow melt with a heavy flow(Mother nature's a ***** and she can have a heavy flow day too...)
http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn281/seraphinwolf/Lilly%20AKA%20Project%20SixGun/P1010292.jpg
Okay first on is in place time to get that second one in. Unfortunately I was too lazy to REALLY work around the plug as much on the second board so I just left the space. :shrug:
http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn281/seraphinwolf/Lilly%20AKA%20Project%20SixGun/P1010293.jpg

That enough of an update on what's been up? I know no dirrect progress but I need to pick up the shift linkage form Nate still, that clutch I'm getting from Kevin, Rob needs to bring me my Brembos and let me pay him the last of it, And finally get the rest of the hubs swap bits(axles, hubs, control arms, sways, endlinks, and pick up the STi struts off Tom)

^^Hey one of those turbos look formiluar :) You ever get around to testing that dvd player? pm me

I had it hooked up but didn't find time to juice the wagon's wiring to test it. I pulled it out just incase there was a quicksale at the meet. It's on the shelf ready to get rebooked up hopefully tomorrow morning when I get out of work and maybe tested the following day. All depends on how wiped I am after work.
And yeah the turbos are starting to pile up. :lol: Where's my cube from Diablo2 so I can pick up one more and combine to a better turbo? :rofl:

WOW! Bought tome we have a journal section. I probably still won't focus on this "copy" of my build as much as the other one. :hide:

:( No o e is responding to my FMIC fitment thread...
Well if no one answers in time when axis's comes in I'll see how off his is from fitting on the wagon and will have my answer.

BTW. Think 860cc injectors will be big enough.
:hide:

[Seraphinwolf]

Just got a qoute and a saving goal for the next big purchase. ;) Along with setting up getting the 40R, AEM ECU, and settling the engineharness to be all set to plug and play as needed.
BTW the big purchase will be the manifold up on and down through the downpipe. :D

[04Wagoon]

+1 for getting the diablo cube...

-1 for buying an sti and quitting...

[Seraphinwolf]

I wasn't gonna quit. I would never quit on my wagon. It would have been buying a GR8 AND finishing my wagon.

And Qu'est-ce que c'est,"diablo cube"?

I do but I kinda want nice comfy heated seats... I mean if I don't get what I want for them I'm not selling them. I mean I'm just gonna look for a different seat to use on track days anyways and swap in and out on those days. No use in having THREE sets of seats.

[ridered777]

Ah ok, thx for the clarification.

Too bad I don't have a black interior or these would SO be going into the SVX.

Maybe not too bad... I need to stop spending money on my car.

Picking up the first 4 injectors for this build later today hopefully. 850cc Deatsch Werks topfeeds. I'll just have to order a couple more to be all set. SHOULD be the last being spent till I build up a back supply of cash to beable to pay for the big stuff or ordrs of large amounts of littler stuff.

[Seraphinwolf]

I need to remember later to put the injectors on the parts list. :)

The sooner you invest the sooner...(you fill it in)

[98Wagoon]

fudge houses. buy parts. get yr car done the way you want it so it doesnt sit forever unfinished because you cant afford it and a house. buying a house can wait till yr done, and can wait till you know where you want to live, and where you plan to settle down. kris is 30 this year and just now getting a house. that makes more sense now that he's basically settled down, mostly engaged, and has things figured out. keep going with what yr doing (and finding me parts!)

[Seraphinwolf]

"mostly engaged" is that their "official" status? I'll make sure to mention you said that in about and hour and a half at Linda's Diner... Mmm... Steak and Egfa and a tall stack! :):):):):):)

[RCKSTR]

Updated parts list finally. Will be doing again like Tuesday when my GrimmSpeed AOS comes in. :up:

What's the AOS from grimmspeed? What other parts are needed to just drop in the motor?? Looks like not much more needed :up:

[Seraphinwolf]

What's the AOS from grimmspeed? What other parts are needed to just drop in the motor?? Looks like not much more needed :up:
Yeah Grimmspeed AOS's. One for the Impreza and one for the SVX. I need the accessories for the motor and the brackets to mount them. Then the radiator. After that it's just the turbo/exhaust and ECU. Though I want to really build the motor before it goes in. I could run the stock internals with next to no boost or put in just pistons with a little more than next to none, but what would be the point when I can just to rods, valve train, and such? The rest of the powertrain is waiting on Nate to give me my shift linkage, order my clutch, and get the last of the suspension stuff. Still not a cheap list of what's left what's so ever. :o Doing as much as possible right the first time cause that's how I roll... or would be rolling if it wasn't on jack stands cause I'm still filling in parts.

[etaks99rs]

I have the same problem. I was taking things off of my motor and I can't help but see how crappy some of the stock stuff is, so I just kept ordering new stuff. I already have my intake mani off, I might as well get new fuel lines...

[Seraphinwolf]

EXACTLY! "I'm already doing my hubs swap. Might as well order the subframe and go the lateral links. Oh while I have it all dropped out I might as well swap to the GDB tank too huh?"
Something like that...
"Already running standalone H6, might as well twinscroll turbo it. Already adding the turbo, might as well find a HUGE one."

BTW I have a lead on the turbo that's getting sorted out. Basicly I have a second hand connection to someone who works at what was formally Garrett since they are how owned by Honeywell. Yes my turbo will be airfilter powered! :lol:

[etaks99rs]

Yeah I definitely don't want to do any of this stuff twice. I'd rather spend the money and do it right the first time.

[Seraphinwolf]

DING DING DING! I'd rather take the extra time having to finetune the good parts into harmony than slowly bring different parts in sequence along the way. About the only thing I'm not really messing with is the struts. At least till those inserts are set and I can budgetise them at that time.

[Bu11dogg2]

have you sorted out what you're gonna use for an ECU?

[Seraphinwolf]

AEM. Not only do most tuners know AEM but they have one of the best ECUs capable or running the EZ30R.

[Seraphinwolf]

FedEx is claiming my AOSs will be here today... But there is no other tracking info on what's going on with them. http://www.rs25.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif No rush since everything else isn't set to install them but still...

[Joe]

So are all the old parts out of the OBS just waiting for these to go in?

[Seraphinwolf]

Nah there is still plenty to get yanked out. Some of it needsro stay a little longer. Like the carpet. I nee to fiberglass the **** out of it to firm it up and cut out as three pieces to use to make a mold for backing shells to make new carpets. :up: Just haven't gotten to it... :o

theres only one piece of yellowy that wasnt siq usdm guy and thats the drivers side tail! :lol: other than that I have surprisingly nice lights/lenses. I just want to pull the amber out of the front end now that ive finally gotten off my asspiece and put my directionals in!

which reminds me.. you can have yr L directionals back now.. :lol:

I'mma think'n of picking up a Borg Warner S256 .76 A/R twinscroll hotside, extended tip compressor... Plenty big enough to keep me content and I've got a lead on one cheap enough to help be that much closer to running sooner.
All the reading I've done this weekend on it here and there while on the phone at my GF's bassicly looks like it's comparable to the GT30R-ish maybe 35R-ish deff not the 40R but it'll be just fine for firing up the car and seeing what will happen next. http://www.rs25.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Maybe while i'm bored I should go hook this up?

[Seraphinwolf]

Well good think I only dedicated myself to the "partly" part. http://www.rs25.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif I need to find where I put my EZ schematics to find all the plumbing visual inspection only is showing two vents and both are on th driver's side head. can't find ANYTHING along the pass side of the block in the least to indicate a venting. Maybe it's all internally tied throught he block to vent on just the driver's side? Well gotta to pull up my files and take a look at what I can figure out.

[Seraphinwolf]

This is basicly as far as I got. I started routing around for all the venting hoses for the crank case and heads and after 5 minutes of following all the lines I could find and looking around and pearing under covers decided it'd be best to continue after finding my engine schematics sheets. Or to NOT find them as it turned out. No idea what happened to them...

Anywho clearances were pretty close so that cap is pretty damn tight with that extra like 10 degrees of turn to clear the dipstick.

That piece of plastic looks REAL good on top of your block dude... :lol:

Doesn't matter if its not functional, still adds +100000HP for sick looks.

[Bu11dogg2]

any updates?

[Seraphinwolf]

Turbo is paid for in full!
Front mount is on it's way, and should be here Monday!
Saturday it's looking like I'm gonna fo shoot some guns and sell some parts!
And to top it all off! I've got an AMAZING GIRLFRIEND! :D

You mean the machines and anodized aluminum? And it is functional. I wouldn't have dropped the money on two of them if they weren't. Especially with the output the Impreza will have with this motor and turbo combo!

[98Wagoon]

now put some better wheels on the svx.. :lol:

Ive been washing/waxing mine for a few hours. im tiiiiired.. I'll toss some pics on my thread in a bit so you can has droools!

[Seraphinwolf]

Edited up the layout of the car plans.

[Seraphinwolf]

Adding ARP extended wheel studs and clear fender marker lights to the list. Hopefully I'll get a few things done on the SVX tomorrow an my FMIC will be here, and I'll feel motivated to get crack'n on the car again. Gonna be rainy but I'm hoping it'll be warm enough. Gotta get the 02' WRX hubs out of the backend to sell to 98wagoon and prep it all for the 07' STi hubs to go in when I get my latteral links, trailing arms, and springs and struts.

if only I had a set of fronts. Im sick of ugly, dusty brakes. :unamused:

[Seraphinwolf]

You want my take offs? Fresh rotors and pads and calipers. At least one caliper I think both might have gotten replaced though. $25!

for the front? if so put it on the tab, then! haha. I may pm the guy I bought my fogs off of on rs25. he had a set of 02wrx front brakes he offered me for $100.. alright I'll be good..... haha

[Seraphinwolf]

Front mount came in yesterday. A few dents in the core and one weld along one ofnthe elbows that's iffy looming but hey $300 shipped and powdercoated is had to beat for a big enough core.

[Seraphinwolf]

Whoops I forgot to post pics of the front mount didn't I? I'll get to it shortly along with some work I got done with this morning after getting home from work. ;)

[Seraphinwolf]

Front mount. About 28x3x12ish core. I'll measure it later

[boxer3maine]

oh those eg33's.. always trying to climb into imprezas.. when will they learn? :lol:

I would slap one in an 87 GL...anytime... :unamused:

liking this project. The impreza does need structure help in a few spots, but nothing serious.

A little suby secret: the older gl would take a v8 in comparison of strength. (I am not even kidding..after 140 hours of tearing into every channel, and resealing).. so if the impreza is dropping it in and holding, it really is nothing to doubt. They shoulda made alot of them. the real n/a sports car.

Does the impreza have 1 empty bolt hole on each side of the engine, where engine crossmember meets the body? it is right in the middle, looking to sides of valve covers. That means flat six thought of..and never done. That one move alone, could take a 400 pound engine...

don't forget the rear of rockers, below doors...

I look forward to hearing this run...with some borla. :)

More and more old GF parts getting ripped out daily! :up: More and more ready for GDB8 Sweetness! :D

[L.F.O.D.]

my ex wife lives in Fremont, so you might see my wrx in town now and then (picking up my 7 year old). Would love to stop in and see the work you have done.

[HipsterDoofus]

im just curious,how much would you estimate youve spent altogether?

[Seraphinwolf]

How much I have into it isn't a gauge at all to figure out how much this would cost to do over. But I'm guessing without jumping through all the lists and how much I bought and sold and deals... $20 right now I think.

[Seraphinwolf]

Oh yeah all my dash stuff is now here minus the actual cluster and having my wiring harness. :up:
Was quite an adventure yesterday morning to go get it...

[wrxtuner82]

Hey, I was thinking about this thread yesterday and I don't have the inclination to go back looking through every page to see if its been answered, but how long has this project been in the works? I'm just curious.

[Seraphinwolf]

Well I pulled her off the road in 07' when I got
the SVX to start this project. BUT in truth... It's been innthe works since we graduated.

[wrxtuner82]

I LOVE the pic of the trunk being filled with stuff, the only thing that'd make that pic better is a pick up truck stacked with parts way over the roof, like the shot of the F-150 carrying parts for the Supra in the first Fast & Furious

[Seraphinwolf]

Got to just before f-150 and knew exactly where that was going! LOL. It would be like 3 F-150 loads to add up what I have in parts right now. :lol:
Really should stop by and see it.

[98Wagoon]

before we loaded my wagon up we had to tighten the bolts on my floor pans and to check my vtec fluid levels. thank Dom Ive got an automatic so it makes up for me if I accidentally granny-shift and dont double-clutch like I should....

I one hundred percent intend to stop by and see it. Almost did over the weekend, but I don't want to go much of anywhere in either one of the two pieces of **** cars I have sitting in my driveway right now.

[Seraphinwolf]

Yeah next time I need to grab something from ACE or Advanced I could always drag you back to see all the chaos.

[wrxtuner82]

[Seraphinwolf]

Oh and I MEAN chaos... It just got worse today. :rolleyes:

[wrxtuner82]

whats wrong with chaos?

[Seraphinwolf]

You'll see when I open the garage door... As soon as I have my strings and struts and latteral links it's time to dig in. Gotta still rip all that rear end stuff out so I can get everything else in! :D Same for the front but I'll pull that all apart and just be ready for when I find a deal on control arms to put it ALL the way together. At that point she'll beable to support her own weight again and roll around.

[25rSTI]

:wiggle::bull::wiggle:
getting progress done, huh. yeaaahhhh lets see some update pics (for those of us who've been to the garage) :D

[Seraphinwolf]

I'll try to remember to even update my parts list tonight. Been busy and can't use my phone at work anymore. :sigh: there needs to me
more hours in a day and more days in a week.

[Seraphinwolf]

My sway bars, endlinks, and mounts are on the way from one guy and my turbo is finally set to get shipped out to me aswell with the swapped inlet. Wasn't fond of the 90 degree inlet housing so I traded with a guy for a standard one. No need to complicate this build any further than it already is.

[98Wagoon]

Mmmmmm turbo. Can't wait to see it. And quite possibly touch it inappropriately when you aren't looking... :lol:

[Seraphinwolf]

I'll have to keep my snail somewhere safe...
:eek:

[98Wagoon]

mmmmm snail trails... :lol:

[Seraphinwolf]

05' STi struts with Eibach springs! Mmmm... Now to get time to put the camber/caster plates on them.
Thanks Tom, nice meeting you today. Hope you found Synaptic3 okay.

how long til yr selling these suspension bits? :lol:

[Seraphinwolf]

A good while I hope. You can't use it anyways. They require 05-07' hubs.

[98Wagoon]

boo. I was pretty sure I can swap 04/05 sti suspension in no problem, though..?

[Seraphinwolf]

04' yes. 05-07' no

[98Wagoon]

feh. Im just going to pick up a set of AGX's for the back and keep the gr2's up front and drop some lowering springs in.

you just HAD to wait til I was gone to go pick up new parts! :lol:

[Seraphinwolf]

I didn't choose the time. It was based on when Etaks99rs was in the area.
I badly need to update the parts list but i'll just wait till my turbo and sway stuff come in.

[98Wagoon]

do you remember everything you really actually have? haha

[Seraphinwolf]

That's what lists and double checking is for. :lol:

[squeethebee]

04' yes. 05-07' no

No.

ed

[Seraphinwolf]

Then why do people use 04' specificly? Last I knew the strut tongues matched the 5x100 tongues vs the 05-07' STi's that had s different tongue.

[squeethebee]

The fronts will work, only from 04. The rear will fit on the bottom but the top hats will not fit. POSSIBLY (I have never tried) if you ran an 04 STi strut with a bugeye spring and top hat it would work, but no promises.

ed

[Seraphinwolf]

Yeah. Iwas meaning usable. Front swapping top hats it'll work. The lower tonguue mounts was what I was reffering to. But yes, as long as be swaps the hats in the rear the fronts if I remember hearing bolt right up and the rears(with the older hats) bolt right in aswell.
I'll be running 07' STi hubs with 05' STi struts with Eibach springs and Bakemono Imports camber/Caster plates so it all bolts in nice and smooth! ;)

What?

[Seraphinwolf]

I'll try to go back and clear it up later. I randomly woke up for like 20 minutes and barely remember even responding. :lol:
In short the tongues to the lower mounts ofthe strut that connect to the hubs are different on 05-07' STi's from the 5x100 hubs STi and Non-STi alike. I remember the rear top hats to the struts were different too but not which year te switch happened, 04/05'?

[squeethebee]

I think bugeye top hats may fit the gc chassis, but not 100% sure. All GD will fit in the front with no modifications except 05+ STi, one of the lower bolt holes is off, you can oval it out though and it will fit.

ed

[Seraphinwolf]

Bugeye's work. They changed in either 04' or 05'. I don't rememebr which.

[98Wagoon]

I want nothing bugeye touching my car.

damn neons...

:hide:

[Seraphinwolf]

Finally adding some pictures of recent parts.
Don't know how I never noticed before that STi struts were KYBs.

[Seraphinwolf]

Also updated parts list. For now... More supposed to come in next week. :rolleyes:

[Pulski]

Bugeye's work. They changed in either 04' or 05'. I don't rememebr which.

The top hats matter to the springs, and to some extent (Although they'll still work, but with risk of slight clunking) the struts. If you have it all matching, they're compatible from 02-07... just make sure if you have 04 springs, you have 04-07 top hats, etc. The bolt patterns are all the same.

[98Wagoon]

since Im not attached to the world via phone for a while and your PM box is full... Im gonna swing by in the morning around 7 or so.. whenever I get to the general direction of yr house. Im just gonna drop the check in the svx and run away. Im sick of carrying it! haha. so yeh. that will be all happy and waiting for you when you wake up.

I PMed you. Now figure outnidnthose people want the Phase 1 2.5 or I'm gonna maybe rebuild it and put this lady on the road with the 2.5 as soon as the 6speed and hubs are settled in with the suspension. Have to be ready incase te SVX ****s the bed and I haven't saved enough for the STi yet.

[98Wagoon]

like bringing frankenstein to life? haha

[Seraphinwolf]

Cobb sways came in. :) Now my turbo needs to come in and that'll be that last addition to the parts list for a while durring saving for 2011'. I don't think I can push my monthly budget enough right now to risk buying a SE.
