February 22, 20169 yr Had a little tweek and test with the suspension this afternoon and I think I'm ready to get it geo'd up now . If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊
February 22, 20169 yr Had a little tweek and test with the suspension this afternoon and I think I'm ready to get it geo'd up now . If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊 Do you have adjustable top mounts on rear sav? My coilovers didn't come with them so debating to source some of just use camber bolts for rear. What do you think?
February 22, 20169 yr Mine have Fixed top mounts on the rears but I've already got elbaich camber bolts on the rear. You could swap the front top oe camber bolt for the rear top oe straight bolt . If your hks ones have pillow ball fronts [emoji6] Either way i'd suggest to use a top camber bolt on the rears cos otherwise the rear camber is unadjustable and the oe camber might alter if you lower the back end If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊
February 22, 20169 yr The ride height looks just right! Give us some feedback on the ride of them when you've taken it for a good spin. :) I'm itching to buy a set of those meister coil overs with the cam bolts, extenders and the protective coat stuff as they look great and go with my red theme :P
February 23, 20169 yr Took it for a good test run last night and no rubbing [emoji5] I've set the damper back to 16 / 32 as when it was set at 20/32 on Sunday they made the Mrs mods jiggle to much .which is dangerous as I couldn't keep my eyes on the road [emoji23] Seeing as I've got the damper set bang in the middle of hard and soft and +4 makes a noticeable difference, I can't see that anyone couldn't find a stiffer or softer setting that wouldn't suit their needs [emoji41] If I was to be Uber critical the only thing that I don't like compared to the elbaich springs and group n top mounts is the road noise has increased due to the solid top mounts on the meister ' s. Longevity is really the only unanswered question but obviously I won't know what that's like until I've had them on a while [emoji6] If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

February 23, 20169 yr Dropped my front door key down the side of the driver's seat, next to centre console, and spent an hour trying to get it out! Just got home and took door key out of centre console, and dropped it. I could see it, but could not touch it from above, below or from the back. Moving the seat made no difference. Could not get indoors to get anything to poke it out with. Eventually, a neighbour came home, and I asked her for help - wire or something. She brought out a thin knitting needle, which I used to wiggle the key forward, till it flipped over the seat runner, onto the floor. To ensure this does not happen again, I am going to get a 56lb weight, and attach the key to it - no chance of it falling down the gap then!
February 23, 20169 yr Started refurbing my callipers as it was a nice clear day, that's the nearside finished hoping for another clear dry day tomorrow to do the offside! :) Got all the gauges now as well just waiting for the pods to arrive.
February 23, 20169 yr @Hudson Very nice job on the calipers! That is a shed load of gauges lol! Id like an oil pressure gauge at least.

I bought an uprated Bosch battery as my old battery was starting to struggle to hold charge in the cold and in preparation for the extra drain I will be putting on the battery powering all the gauges Only reason for so many is I'd like a bit more peace of mind of the cars health for when I start on the performance upgrades plus I hope they will look nice lit up too without looking too much like a boeing 747 cabin
February 24, 20169 yr This guy is more forgiving than I am, I'd have strung em both up by their privates if it had been my car. Good advertising for Subaru though. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3343221/Forgiving-car-dealership-owner-owed-25-000-teen-vandal-gives-JOB-instead-pressing-charges.html Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
February 24, 20169 yr @Hudson Good work on the calipers :). @Dogconker I'm with you there, I have never been violent towards someone but I honestly think I would lose it if someone damaged my car!
February 24, 20169 yr Finished the offside callipers today and had a little bit of calliper paint left which I felt would be rude to waste so spent a bit of time making a stencil and went to work on the intercooler too :)
February 25, 20169 yr Nothing much today as barely any time free, put in a new filter researching up on gauge installs
February 26, 20169 yr After my clutch pedal starting to sound like a breying donkey yesterday I've given it a healthy squirt of gt85 which seems to have cured it for now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
