Another Toronto BD GT

Hello SLi.


I am yet another Toronto Legacy owner who found this great forum on google.

Why are you going to roll your fenders if you have adjustables and are using 16" wheels?

[deadlydave]

maybe he wants different wheels/tires? Welcome, new guy. Have you had a chance to see Cajual's Legacy in person? He's from your area. Turbo-swapped BD with CF hood, silver.

I plan on running Volk GT-U 18" with a larger offset to fit either 4piston STi breaks or aftermarkets. With camber and offset the rubber tends to rub the fenders...

Nope not yet, I plan on going to the Toronto Legacy meets but for now I got lots of work.

I have been speaking with "dplacencia" about a GD rear strut bar, but he explain that both the brace and the bar must be slotted as well as notching the strut tower. :-?

I'v been looking for the Cusco rear strut bar for sometime but I have had no luck with locating it.

Also I have been looking at a JDM rear taillight assembly but most only sell the BG tail lights.. I need clear BD lenses. Anyone have a link/connection?

welcome, lets see some pics :lol:

4 pot brakes are overkill for the 2.5l engine, when it's not boosted. They're heavier and you'll push weight bias to the front end...

Better deal would be to upgrade to newer 2 pot front brakes, and fit 2 pot rears with good pads.

PM Andivic. If he doesn't have it, he'll let you know when he does or point you in the right direction

Will do thanks in advanced!

You don't want to see stock BD pictures.

I'll post updated shots and maybe even a few DIY / Tutorials

By the begging of July.

Your 100% correct, but I do plan on putting a v.8 ej20 in my bd next year.

i am looking for a 97 outback wagon to replace my gt as daily driver.

My goal is to complete ALL suspension/brake upgrades before I hit performance.

The thought of a $5000 ej20 v.8 swap with stock brakes scares me.

The amount of cash I have to fork over for upgraded calipers + rotors + pads will in the end run me the same price as a jdm sti conversion.

Cheers

They felt like the same weight as the my stock calipers. :-? And the 05+ LGT brakes are heavier all around, calipers and rotors.

I'll just stick with JDM conversion :-D

Anyone know where I can pickup the rear adapters?

Hmmm no links to the part?

Can't find them on the site only full upgrade kits for WRX or STi

Nice to see another BD in the GTA area. We should have a BD Legacy meet sometime.
