The bio-grease I found at lowes. The Beatrush Propeller Shaft Mounts I actually got at a huge discount because I had so many points accumulated on Subimods source subaru - Source subaru - Borla stainless steel - Subaru aftermarket - Stri racing - Stainless steel - Subaru aftermarket parts - Your Source For Subaru Aftermarket Parts. All they do is replace the stock mushy rubber ones.

Were you able to come out to this past "three amigos tour"?

ah, sorry, i wasnt paying attention and thought that was the exhaust pipe - driveshaft mount makes more sense :lol:

yeah sort of, i had just put my engine back together the day before it started so i chickened out of the drive, but was at the bbq at [email protected]

The feel of the diff bushings combined with the outrigger and subframe locking bolts made a huge difference in stiffness and rear diff responce. The rear diff bushings are a PITA to install though. But well worth it.

Were you there on that Friday at Pluckers? Im trying to put a face with the name.

 

[aesthetect]

naw, i was still covered in grease at that point :lol: but i was the one with the beard, scruffy blonde hair and probably a hat if you were at mastros.

but yeah rear diff bushings are comin up on the list along with steering rack and tranny mount. what do you recommend to use to get them in for someone with minimal tools?

The rear diff mounts are difficult without the right steps and tools. Check this link out for the write-up: Turn In Concepts Subaru Rear Diff Mount Bushings

The transmission mount is a cake-walk to do.

I have some Whiteline steering rack bushings I will be installing in the next few weeks once it cools down a bit. Im gonna have a full write-up with pictures for everyone.

I have been putting that one off for whatever reason.

thanks as thats actually the most helpful how-to ive seen. however the only part i was worried about was pressing them in - or are yours different than the GC? or do mine come in 2 pieces and im just a retard that didnt know it?

but yeah the other two should be pretty easy but a good writeup on the steering rack would be helpful

Even if the GC model bushings come as a one piece, they shouldnt be any harder to install than as to taking the stockers out. As long as everything is super greased up, it should be easy to install.

Soon to be installed with write-ups and lots of pictures:

Subaru Front Caliper Brackets To Fit WRX rotors on 2.5RS

Stoptech WRX Drilled Rotors

Hawk HPS Brake Pads

And all this done with the Motive Products Hydraulic Brake & Clutch Pressure Bleeder and ATE Super Blue Brake Fluid.

Now just waiting for a whole weekend with good weather.

I was actually gonna get some 06 wrx calipers but opted to just upgrade my stock rotors to wrx size and keep my 2-pot calipers to keep the weight down.

1998-2005 2.5 RS use(277mm)
2002-2005 WRX rotors (295mm)

I think this will help a little with the initial bite.

 

[Mak Impreza]

I was flipping through your pages and I like what you have done to your 05. The front caliper brackets are a good touch. Keep that unspring weight down. Maybe the CTI#5 needs those too.

id really like to find some rallyx to get into. know anybody with... a field? :lol:

 

[thegoldenfist]

You gotta check out DirtyImpreza.com - The Off-Road Impreza Community, they got a thread somewhere on a rallyx course they were making near San Antonio. Its on a couple of acres of land, but I dont know if it fell through or not.

 

[aesthetect]

yeah theres a guy named dave whos setting up a rally school around san marcos, not sure if thats teh same. somebody just posted in that thread that theres a motocross spot north of houston that might have some parts open to rallyx. theres so much land around here tho, i just keep asking people, eventually somebody will be like "oh yeah we've got some real shitty land up around _____ come up on!" i got some but its all brush and kept up for hunting.. sorry for pullin things off topic.

 

[thegoldenfist]
