a little bit of work last night


Swapped the GC8 STi pinks for some GD lateral arms...


which as you can see, provide 10mm extra track on each side. this is enough to push the stock strut from neutral to noticeable negative camber


whilst putting the shafts back in stace noticed that they wern't acutally fitting properly.. so we dropped the fluid (thicker than standard fluid) and stace had a play around inside (oddly sexual)


turns out i might have a proper LSD out of a WRX-RA. JWS pot luck strikes again! if anyone has some early LSD rear shafts, let me know

we also attempted to fit up the stock exhaust i picked up, but unfortunately the legacy dump is about 30cm longer than the stock wrx dump. it'll fit with a bit of cutting & welding...

so many to choose from...


how it sits now



so at this point.. still waiting for MoTeC to release the 06/07 board. I'm also chasing a 2006 Aus Delivered STI ECU pinout diagram to start hacking my wiring loom. I need to fit the front & rear sway bar, weld up the exhaust, get some LSD rear shafts, fit the wiring loom & replace the interior.

In a perfect world there is probably only maybe 6 hours work left in it... but we've been going since janurary now.. so why rush :P

You still need to get it passed over pits for licensing. Unless the chassis is already registered? Make sure everything suspension wise is legalised for the inspection then maybe alter it after its licensed, you know the word legal don't you?

Matty, does your GC sway bar still fit with the longer links, or are you using a GD bar? Did you have to change the trailing arm too?

He's got my sway bar too, so I'm guessing it will be using the GD sway.

Its still a licensed & insured Impreza GX. The current suspension is all OEM Subaru, look how rediculously high it sits!

Brad, GC & GD swaybars are identical. literally, I have a Whiteline one (<3 karl) and put it next to Kato's GD swaybar last night and they are exactly the same dimensions. i think GC/GD trailing arems are also identical, the difference comes with the pinks (spherical bits) and Spec C mounts (changed rear wheel castor)

As it sits whiteline bar will be going on with stock plastic Links, hopefully i'll be able to replace the lateral arms with Spec C items in the near future, and the fronts!
