Drivetrain upgrades sti classic
Tidgy replied to Darren1970's topic in Subaru Engines, Exhausts and modifications
to be fair it really depends on how hard you launch it and how many times, subaru gearbox's arn't mega strong, you chuck a 6 speed in, but they still fail if you start really giving it some stick. -
Drivetrain upgrades sti classic
Tidgy replied to Darren1970's topic in Subaru Engines, Exhausts and modifications
few spare gearbox's will help ;) lol -
Only a small update. Heads are still off at the machine shop having new valve guides fitted. But a bit mroe damage was found and some of the exhaust valves and were not salvagable. So all the exhaust valves are being replaced with supertech valves. Hopefully 26th will be the pickup date, but its a bit dependent on how long it takes for ht heads to come back. starting to get into kid at Christmas mode now hahaha :D

HEL Braided Brake Lines
Tidgy replied to HawkeyeLawrence's topic in Subaru Engines, Exhausts and modifications

Cam't really do much without invalidating yoru warrenty im afraid, not even exhuast
-
nope, not all new age have avcs, also some have single some duel. hawk wrx is single and sti duel, not sure other than that though im afraid. o r yours is a hwk wrx isnt so single
-
waiting on the heads to come back, bottom end is built :D pics in my build thread ;)
-
Check chassis plates and only use other things as steering wheel etc as a guide. Even rear wipers can be retrofitted. Why specificly a uk model? classic ST is a considerable step up on a uk turbo.

Sounds like toting for business, drop in some rods, pistons, decent head studs and head gaskets and you'll be safe up to 450 on a standard 2.5 block. Clinic have done dozens if not hundreds of them, sc450 pack. I've got a stage further and had the block closed deck converted hahaha

Rear clunk, time for coilovers?
Tidgy replied to Sam.B89's topic in Subaru Tyres / Wheels & Suspension
if you wanna go coilovers then tiens super street are pretty good, dad went from racelogics which were rock hard and failed twice within 18 months before he sacked em off. The ss are softer but still progressive so pretty good for fast road without breaking your back -
rough area eg im in nottingham, is fine mate, gives us an idea of what decent tuners are near you
