nice. this is what i want to do to my 92 ss, and its the same color. we will talk. were not far form each other.

[Airgne]

also i have watched your videos alot. yeah need more than 19sec.

[bmxkelowna]

i agree i need more footage
this summer ill be going gunhoe drifting lots of events and demos so there should be a lot more footage coming soon

That thing is pretty sweet; you sure can drive it! :smt023

And I thought Sybir was the only one who would ever have a RWD SS. If you welded your diff, are you stuck in 2WD unless you get a new center diff and put you axles back in?

Link to his thread??
nope all i have to do is put my front axles back in and im 4x4 like a truck in four wheel drive (yes it binds in slow tight corners a little)

Very nice car man, first pic is so sick.

[subba]

Love the car man, Gen1's look so sweet with RS 16's :smt023

[chuckthefuk]

D-D-D-D-iiiiirttty!!

So damn nice! Post more pics and specs!

:twisted:

[Kansei]

so hold on...... you just took out your axles?! if so what the hell.... how does that work? and is it safe? cause I have wanted to do this so bad to my leggy I just didnt know how....

the center diff is welded and the front axles have been taken apart and the hub ends are left in to hold the wheel bearings tight

[deadlydave]

Have you had any problems with your driveshaft, rear diff, or axles?

How much power do you think you're putting down? I have the stub shafts and RWD welded center diff staring at me on a shelf, and I'd been hesitant. I started getting some vibration, I belive it's from the front axles, and now would be as good a time as any for the switch.

Hot car, by the way. I love 1st gen turbos. :smt007

thanks man i love turbo legos too!

ive broken 5 axles and 1 diff last summer :smt021
drive shaft, center diff, tranny all good so far

if i was to guess maybe 200hp to the wheels or so

[mranlet]

Haha, glad you found/rediscovered this place.

There's only 3 of us that have been rocking the RWD as far as I know - me (4+ years), sybir (~1 year?) and this dude

hey hey hey now. that is the reason i got a ss. ill be there soon.

[deadlydave]

bmxkelowna, thanks for the info. I'll be weighing my options. :grin: I think I'm putting maybe 230 to the wheels. If I don't drive like an asshat, I'm sure everything will last.

NO guarantees. :smt005

[mranlet]

What's stopping you guys?

The moment you hop in the car after doing this conversion, you'll ask yourself "Why didn't Subaru make a car like this from the factory?"

The WHOLE dynamic and behavior of the car changes. No more understeer into turns and steering control by right foot.

BMX - when are you going to get some more steering angle in that thing? I have some old front uprights I could shorten for you if you want...

you should add me to msn man llooggaann@hotmail.com
steering angle soon now that ive got some offset, ive got an extra left spindle and i should be able to find myself a right one pretty easy.
my friend (with the black rx7 in the videos) is about to cut and weld his knuckles too so we will be doing it at the same time

i worked on my exhaust tonight should be on tomorrow

This was our first one, a '91 SS (it got stuffed into a k-wall, heh). Stock VSLD's are useless with high mileage, as you can see.

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2009/03/smk35b15d-2.jpg

This was circa 2004-5ish. This one got the idea going for a cleaner shell with more refined suspension the next time around, which led to the black car. I'm probably the only person that thought a RWD SS on coilovers was a good DD/commuter, though :D

BMX, car looks awesome. I love the color, I had a 92 TW in that color (owned it twice, ended up trading it for the black car) that I miss dearly.

[henryq89]

nice ss man ..im lookin into gettin one of these...they are nearly impossible to find ....damn ...ill keep dreamin :grin:

I remember that car! You/someone posted that pic right after I got my R200 rear end rolling around.

BMX - I don't have msn, but you're welcome to hit me up on AIM (CRUNCHmonster)
