Sorry to off topic Chris, I'll put up a FS/EOI thread tomorrow once ive got particulars.

No worries Mark. Interested in the coils depending on price... Already got all the WL gear

[SAV84C]

Now do I buy a brand new splitter AUD$120 shipped or make another using thicker sheet metal as as mine is starting to wear out due to its flimsy design.

Dumped the car today... Got some 04 STI inverted rear struts as the WRX i had were clunking... Unfortunately I should have serviced these babies before I put them in coz they both clunk...





Tomorrow I will be pulling them out and pulling them to give them a regreasing to hopefully fix the problem

[aekOne]

good height chris. shame you gotta pull it all out again tomorrow, hopefully a lubing does the trick!

[AussieTemplar]

Looks naise Rims too!

[FR34KO]

looks beautiful!

[SAV84C]

Thanks boys. Gave the struts n good regreasing... Went a bit crazy with it n pack more then enough of it in there... No sound at all! Ride is a lot firmer though then last time I had dropped... Boge fronts sti rears... Handles well though!

Now I just gotta sort out my front sway links n ball joints as they are noisy... Noticed the boots on them are busted when I was under there

I've got a creaking sound coming from my rear (hehe).

Is that what you were experiencing? Mine might need a re grease.

Youve always got a creaking sound coming from your rear end!

Mine wasnt a creak... It was more like this..



The rear is a bit harder than i was expecting... Much like my coilovers set medium in the lib...

Ive been doing some research on making some sort of IC spray kit (stock Sti ones arent cheap) and I came across this.. Seems like a good bit of kit for the price...

http://cgi.ebay.com....em=251006810672

team it up with one of these http://www.aquasteal...ure-switch.html

Or build my own like this:

Or seeing as I have a wagon, my washer bottle has 2 pumps, I can re-route or tap into the one for the rear window and will have just have to flick the switch to activate. Just need fine misting jets

I was planning on doing this, but can't be bothered.

Could probably get the sprays from Subaru. I think they are pretty cheap. Or bunnings in the irrigation section

I think alexxx might have done it on his wrx.

Just buy the sti nozzles (theyre good quality) and raid the wreckers for some one way valves and pipework, than setup a cheap relay system with some 2nd hand sti switches and a hobbs switch for auto control

Cheap as chips, mines looks stock as and works off a manusl switch with a 3 second delay on...and an 8psi pressure switch for the auto

Is it a worthwhile mod??

I read somewhere that sti nozzles are $30ea

Mite try old mate at smithfield and see if he has an STI in atm and try and get them cheap of him. A trip to Pick n Payless is also on the cards

[Matt]

Eh, i just use it when moving after traffic or when hammering around to try and ward off heatsoak....made a smallish difference on the dyno

Sti's have them so they must work i find myself spraying it a lot as the switch is in a trendy din mount right beside the shifter...so ya just extend a finger slightly to spray it for 3 seconds

Im actually gonna get another nozzle for the new tmic and splitter im building

Ill check my PM's to see how much i got them off sheppo for

Sure it wasnt that much?!

[Matt]

Youre right they were $25!!! But they work and spray nice and wide....and thats all i cared about

[bobbyjimmy]

Matt was the part number 86636FA120?
subarugenuineparts.com have them for $10.44 plus shipping - have to wait a couple of weeks thou.
