Thanks.

Pics of your stanced chariot with teale 10" rims running 20mm offset, please

[Alex]

Well my bad. I only know up to Redsled. That was a single conversion wasn't it? Haha. fork.

But..but..but.. UKDM Foz? That's about as Lesbian as you get. When it runs.

Redsled was purchased bone stock TT back when you was still watching Power Rangas before going to school to swap pokemon cards.

 

UKDM is still in the garage. Runs better than anything you (or your brother) ever had. SF gone. MY10 WRX gone.

 

There's lots you don't know

[Alex]

I thought the complete R180 setup from the TbSTI's dropped right into your wagon Alex, drive shafts and all including the gear box.

I am hoping this is true, although I have heard some reports that it isn't the case about the rear setup. Would make life easier if it worked, wouldn't have to worry about rear hubs, driveshafts, etc. Gearbox fits, shifter mechanism doesn't.

Yea for the B4 that was my major issue, fitament. I have looked pretty hard, from my findings on the Sedan B4 a GD six speed non DCCD 3.9 will bolt in for the gear box shafts hubs and rims, then you needed shafts auto tail then the rear lib sti setup hubs to brakes and rims.

Cheers man.

 

Reassuring to know it could work.

[WillC]

By gear box i meant the whole thing, selector shifter EVERYTHING.

[Alex]

Gearbox - yes.

Shifter mechanism - no.

 

Need the GD STi shifter. BP/BL won't work. Linkages are the wrong angles/lengths from memory.

(no offense, but this is not my first sixspeed rodeo either)

Nice buy man. It's really good to see such great examples of a Subaru staying within the SubyClub community.

 

What wheels are you thinking of getting?

[WillC]

Yep alex thats what i meant GD complete box setup. Everything from the GD flywheel to Brembos.

I know its not your first 6 speed shenanigans. Just trying to narrow it down for you.

Well bummer! That poor Regacy!

Plz don't sell this one to any Canberrians haha.

I'm so used to seeing them broken in the workshop, that you just assume they're all forked.

[aekOne]

i like this!

[Shaz]

Nice one mate.

 

Whens the stancenation stickers going on?

[Alex]

Congrats Alex.

So freakin shiny shimmery when you add sunlight.


And it has pieces of Kong TT DNA on it!

Welcome to the Kong clan.

TT DNA?

 

I shall prepare for the outcomes.

LOL. You're reading my mind. I hope my wife isn't reading this.

 

Not sure at the moment. I'd love to go back to tbSTi Enkeis, like on the sled, but 48+ 18x8, ala STi Foz.

Cheers for the kind words lads.

 

It's good to be back with a worthy Subaru!!

[Liberty]

The 18x8 STi rims are hard to come by, but not impossible. Good luck man.

Failing that, I'll go some Enkeis of some description, or some works.

 

Caliper clearance is important, as it makes it futureproof.

 

"Fitment" (ugh, I hate that word) is important. Want it all legal, rubber stamped, kosher (hai adam) legit. ie: not ill.

[Liberty]

I hear you on legal and fitted. I aim for that exact thing on my wagon. I hate stance and Transformer-like modifications unless race car. OEM+ has always been my target, the '+' being STi parts here and there which only improves handling and performance.

The redsled followed that philosophy, and it's tried and tested many many times with others.

 

Anything that wasn't OEM, was stealth bomber.

 

This time, I'll aim to be even stealthier.

[Liberty]

Great to hear. I'll be keeping an eye on the topic.
