Sorry i've been slow on Updates/Getting Work done but..

Wiring harness's is getting sent into iWire Tomorrow, I have a 91-94 (94) Legacy Turbo Steering rack, Cross Member, and Sway Bar on order. I need to verify the rack will bolt straight onto my Column, Plan On cleaning everything up and getting new bushings. To anyone lurking what arms can I bolt straight onto this? any arms that will fit a GC8 STI I'm assuming?

[Tylerhartman]

This will hopefully be in next week

I like those STi wheels!

[Tylerhartman]

Thanks One of my favorite mods so far

[Tylerhartman]

Hint of what is in store next

[Tylerhartman]

Some of the stuff got damaged, but the company is working on straightening it out

6MT V7 NonDCCD with R180 and Brembo's

That's a heck of an update! Your car is similar to the car that I want my '99 wagon to grow up into! I have so many parts for it that I haven't put on because of a minor front end accident, but it's slowly coming around. Something about white second-gen. wagons!

Thanks more good stuff in store in the coming weeks, I just went and checked out your thread. Looks like it'll make it's way back on the road 10 times more awesome Jealous of that radiator, and the grille's L7 in blue is pretty sweet too.

Out of curiosity, how much did it cost to have iWire do their thing? I have heard a lot of good things about them, but I have no idea how much they charge.

(not that I am planning on using them.. I would do my own merge if I needed one, I am just curious)

I was planning on doing it myself, but figured I'd have the peace of mind it was done right the first time������ So my harness merge was a little more then a straight up swap. I sent in a 04 WRX harness 5SPD + 99 LGT Harness 5 Speed. He deleted TGV's and added in AVCS. My bill was $910 for that. It's also pre wired for DCCD pro if that tickles your fancy.

[Tylerhartman]

partsouq.com is awesome, Half the price of the USA Dealers on the Tonewheels and stupid fast shipping. faster than buying in the USA. Check them out

[Tylerhartman]

Kartboy bushings going up!

[MannyMohawk#5]

You're doing the Lord's work!

[peugoby]

You're doing the Lord's work!

Definitely this. I can't wait to see your wagon running & driving. Definitely a proper build!

Rebuilt the Rear Axles, Painted the R180, and some plates, Threw some new seals and plate gaskets on the R180 as well.

I just posted a thread here, but thought you might be able to help.

Are the axles you're using just standard R180 Impreza-length STi axles? Back-checking part numbers at RockAuto makes it seem that there are some differences between the lengths of a Legacy and Impreza axle, but that could just be housing width of the R180 or shape of the rear hub. For that matter, is the wheel bearing in the new knuckle any larger than the Legacy wheel bearing?

The wheel bearing is more beefy but i'm not sure how much deeper it is. That said today I put the front togther and I had no issues and all the axles look to be fine. I'm runnning the full hubs, knuckles, dust covers, etc.. so I should be good. I'll let me know if I come across any issues, but Thus far it all looks perfect.

I guess I should update, This EJ205 AVCS Is coming in this week.

[thedeadhp]

It shines! The AVCS Will definitely set this swap apart from the others!

Pre Black Friday and the fact the engine is out of the car caught me on this. Grimmspeed 38MM Black coated up pipe with Screamer pipe. I bought the Block off plate so I could just run it as an Up-Pipe till tune time.

[Tylerhartman]
