Wrap that amp cable black.....

[Robert]

I plan to 

 

Just not right now, the mechanical stuff is more important 

[Matt]

I wouldn't stress...I never once activated the abs on the gen3 and I abused those brakes and never locked up except for over bumps and getting air with the front tyres lol....though will see how that works with the light weight rs and brembos lol

If and when you order that master I am so in for one aswell

And did I not give you the sti footrest? If not I should still have it?

[cliffo3rb]

Fitted to svx and v2 wrx sti?)
So yeah could be interesting to find a second handy

Yeah didn't really consider that, with the locking up
I'm really happy with the spec b brakes currently, so it won't be for a while yet!

I prefer the spec b brakes to brembos, much nicer pedal feel. I basically only got them for the bling

Nothing to do with being compatible with the booster as any suby (as in libs, imprezas etc) will fit up to it.....its the number of ports out of the master thats the problem.....only 2 ports with an abs master like the ones in gd sti's.....where as for a non abs car ya need a 4 port master

And in that size (same as the gd master size) they are rare to find as rob said......we both want one but only have a part number through the us to find them.....so its a suck it and see I spose....im sure one of us will bite the bullet soon though lol

Oh and Rob.....top work mate.....so keen to see her all freshened up!

[Matt]

Wrap that amp cable black.....

Or better yet....run it into the passenger side guard along the main loom and in behind the dash though a grommet (should be a spare one if its like the rs?)

That way only a couple inches is visible in the bay

Gotcha. Cheers for clearing that up

[Matt]

Any time......weve both researched it a fair bit, so happy to provide the info

That's what she said!

Yeah you gave it to me, i couldn't find it at the time but i found it later in the day 
 

I've got a cusco master cylinder stopper coming to, its for a gen 1 so if it doesn't fit its all yours Matt

[Bumpty]

Fantastic wob

Gota have the brembo swag

That would mean running a new cable, fork that 

maybe one day though, i've been looking for ways to tidy the wiring up 

Subarus are just so darn messy 

[Matt]

Im sure itll fit yours...but after the amount of flex you said I was getting I hope it doesnt lol

[Robert]

Yeah couldn't find anything saying it would or wouldn't but yeah i knew i could offload it to someone if it didn't fit lol 

[Scuba-Roo]

Looks good man! ap racing 6pots are pretty awesome. But i am biased 😜

[Robert]

Package arrived just as I was about to put the motor in
Got some intake spacers


Dropped the motor in and roughly mounted the ps res just for the time being



Went to fit the gearbox up and couldn't get it to mate up
Fitted the thrust bearing to the gearbox and lubed everything up but still no good
So if anybody has any tips or ideas that would be awesome

[Reevesy]

Did you have front of the motor jacked up?

May need to turn the input shaft slightly to get the spline to line up

Checked for extra dowels stuck in motor or box

[Robert]

Clutch centering tool used?

I've never had an issue with Suby clutches.







You're shit.

Yep used one





You jerk

Yep motor was jacked up
Did turn the shaft a Bit

The dowel is a high possibility

As the gearbox physically couldn't go any further
