That part number appears to be the lower front trailing arm bushings.

I'm finally ready to do some mods, this thread is AWESOME! My goal is to maintain some reliability while hitting around 300 WHP... maybe a little more
Right now everything is stock on my '05 GT 5MT with 120K, aside from some oil consumption, everything is going great (leak down and compression results are good, not seeing any blue smoke but burn a qt/1Kmiles).
I'm planning on a TMIC, pump, injectors, oil line, DP, UP, Pro-Tune (one for 93 and one for E85), 3 port EBCS, wide band/oil pressure gauge, and then of course the turbo (everything else stock except for a single mass flywheel and an exeddy replacement stock clutch-oops).
Here's my questions: VF52, TD05H-68HTA, or something else? Am I forgetting anything else mod wise? Any other suggestions?
Thanks guys!

Looks like FVSCC isn't ice racing this year but CWSCC is, I'm hoping to get out there soon...
-
Does anybody do any ice racing? I am interested in doing the Ice Auto X stuff if anybody knows of anything happening in Wisconsin
I do at least a couple of events with FVSCC on lake Winnebago a year, some really good guys and tough competition up there!
Check out the forum for the latest updates on the upcoming season.
Hope to see ya there!

But using the Group N bushings, they aren't stock. So while they look it, they are still illegal for a Stock class Auto-X, right? That's cheating...
Whitelines are poly, but I've never had any problem with poly bushings in the winter. Especially bushings from Whiteline.
Yep, the only way to do this right would be straight OE replacements or their equivalents. Even if I went with what the spec B has (a solid bushing very similar to the STI's) it still wouldn't be "legal" for the stock class
.You could also argue that my clutch (now a single mass flywheel) is also cheating as my car came with the dual mass (same think with the TSK3 kit). I wasn't going to pay an extra $150-$200 when the '07+ GT's have the single mass. If people want to get all butt hurt about something as minor as that too bad. Challenge me and you can get your trophy or t-shirt back
.Thanks for the feedback on the whitelines, if I ever decide to do my suspension right I'll probably scoop those up.

^Because they are yellow and further from stock (think auto X). I'm trying to keep it as close to stock as possible.
Aren't the whitelines poly and thus don't perform as well in winter?

^ I actually just got an email from Rallispec:
"
Hi Matt,
We are actually out of the office this week on holidays but will return on Monday and will be sure to give you a call to help you place the order.. However, I can definitely confirm by email the fitment of the GRB bushings part number RST-2027F and RST-2027R to your 2005 Legacy GT. We have had a number of Legacy customers purchase fit these bushings to their cars.
Thanks.
Regards,
Dave
Rallispec"
So I'm hoping that I can place an order on Monday...

Living Legacy- Go back a few pages, the contact at rallispec is here somewhere in this thread. I am going to order them myself.
I tried calling them at 609-702-7800 the last three days and no one answers!
I am emailing them today (that's the only contact info I found), does anyone else know where to get the group N bushings otherwise???
Thanks guys!
-
I'm going to go with Group N's for front and rear LCA and have only heard people say they've gotten them from RalliSpec but I couldn't find them on their website. I assume people just called? Talk to anyone specific?
How are your group N's holding up?
This thread is awesome, thanks to all who participated!

Bump, this is the prime time for me to do it before mother nature puts her winter jacket on again.
My thoughts exactly, now if only I could find time...

I'm out for this weekend and I'm trying to hit up a couple of ice racing events which are primarily on Sundays. I'll keep an eye on the thread and I'll try to make it when you plan it.

Are we all still sleeping off the turkey from Thanksgiving?
We should plan a meet n greet in January or something. Dinner, donuts in a parking lot, cruise out to Madison, ANYTHING?
Sounds like some people are interested (I would be if I'm not busy). Pick a date and post it up!
If you're looking for places to eat or stop around Madison give some general thoughts about what you're thinking and I can (or someone else) can give you some info about where to go.

Guys, a quick heads up that Columbus 151 speedway is now offering Auto X days every Tuesday (for now at least). Starts at 5:00 PM and goes until dusk, all for only $15!!! Last week there were only 4 cars there so there was PLENTY of track time.
We setup/design the course as we want, they run the timing lights, it's a load of fun and a great way to get some cheap seat time!
Stop on out today if you're interested, otherwise come next week, they need at least 12 cars to break even.
some info:
"
Columbus 151 Speedway would like to announce an open tuning and testing session for all AutoX enthusiasts.
151 Auto X presented by TomKat will take to the track every Tuesday (for now). Gates open at 5pm.
Tune and test until 7pm.
Meeting 7 to 7:30
Qualifying clock runs until dusk.
Questions? Call me-Bryon (608) 513-9111.
Pit passes are $15.00
Grandstand admission is free.
Meeting is in the grandstands and free.
Columbus 151 Speedway is located 20 miles NE of Madison on Hwy 151, Exit 111 follow the signs."

^ROFLS!!!
Nice review Franz!
-
yea, me too...I can't recall for certain but I think I was running an AP PTS stage 1 map at the time. Either way she's running great now!
And as for the RPM dropping very low after an ECU reset, you're right, it's just the ECU re-learning things.
-
Went ahead and changed the plugs and a number of things (at 61K), definitely running much smoother.
I was noticing some knock events under heavy load (track days), do you think that could have been cause by the one plug in the upper left that is all worn out? Any thoughts?

my car is missing one of the little pieces of chrome on the vent
Same here man, I need a couple of other parts too...anyone know where we could find this?
-
made me cry, I have had similar experiences but I don't think I could have written that any better
-
Speaking of recommendations, can anybody recommend a ClearBra/paint protection film installer in the Madison area?
I'm still looking for a good paint shop too.
TNT tints in Madison is pretty good (at least on window tints). I know they do clear bras too, looked decent when I saw one...
-
I finally bit...
I'll let you know how it turns out.

Subscribe for X-mas, I'm a late shopper FTW!

I'D PWN THAT CHICK IN THE FIRST SHOT--- TOTAL PEARL NECKLACE!!!!!!
Too bad she's been run through more than the finish line at a marathon...you know it's the truth. But hey, without sluts the world would be a dull place

Looks like a fun time, but I'm probably too busy to do this...

WTB -WI: 3rd Brake Light (dark gray)
in Want to buy
Posted
Looking for a third brake light for my silver 2005 Legacy GT Limited. The interior is a charcoal black leather with gray headliner/accents. I'm pretty sure the plastic is dark gray/black plastic.
Do you have one?
Thanks!
Matt
