For comparison; My brother just bought my 2008 Specb, w/ $5k in tire/wheels/dp/cbe/accessport/k&n/bov/boost guage/aftermarket sub&amp All stock parts included 100,000km (62,500 miles) AND dealer serviced since NEW, with ALL records and one owner (me) for $19k This in Canada of course.

I will gopro it this weekend.

2007+ have neither of the 2 filters? Nice.

A local friend with a 2009 spec b just went stage 2 at 90,000 km. He already had a catback and gutted both cats in the stock downpipe. Right away he was blowing blue smoke. When he took the turbo off he found a metal seal inside was completely missing causing 1/4" shaft play. This was causing tones of oil to get dumped into the intercooler. I asked him to check the banjo bolt, he said when he pulled it out there was no screen at all. At some point did Subaru remove the screen from manufacturing?

Its gonna be -49c tonight and just got a new gopro, gonna get some video of the car exploding tomorrow....

Im pretty sure the sound is mostly coming from the front diff. I dont have this sound in a straight line, only when turning and mostly only when the front tires are spinning... also i almost always drive with TC off. Your rock tumbling analogy is dead on tho!

this sound is definitely from the cold differentials... i hate it and does not sound good although i have been assured its "normal"

Anything going on between nov 10-14 ill be in Minneapolis during this time. Also whats cool cool to do there? Any good car shops for parts and stuff? Jay

That is the sound im looking for .... and the look... when i say that sound, i mean that sound + a catted downpipe....

Doesnt the front LSD go in the front diff, and the dccd goes into the center diff after the tranny? Does the transmission need to be dropped for the front LSD ?

cost would be the initial reason... a front LSD is much cheaper than DCCD or both

the trip odometer only goes up to 10000 then resets. So your viewing 26mpg for the last (at most) 10000miles.

please weigh in.... DCCD or FRONT LSD, what would you choose... or both?

ok ben thanks for that lol

Its been -10 and lower here for more than a month, and I have been on my nitto summer tires until today (235/40/18s) I switched back to stock rims with Michellen X-Ice (215/45) and IMMEDIATELY the noise came back. I remember I had this last year and from what I can remember, it has to do with (i thought the front) the front diff being cold and the gears inside chattering. I can assure you this noise WAS NOT THERE this morning (-20c) and arrive immediately after i switched to winter rubber.

+1

not dissin man, i wanna see this completed.. but the better question is how will it not be difficult, or are you scraping all factory gauges?

i forgot the PERIOD on spec.b ... oh well http://www.jasonborowiec.com/specb/taillights/IMG_4167.JPG

wow that thing is going to be a nightmare for wiring....

with nothing more than springs ? camber?

this thing keeps poping out (red arrow in pic)

See the plastic piece to the right, the strip that looks like \\ on the right, Mine keeps poping out at the top clip of that piece due to tire hitting on cornering, and ive rolled the fenders, haven't lowered but haven't done camber or alignment yet. im +42mm offset, should I scrap these rims and go for something either, (im keeping the tires) a.)switch to rim offset +48ish or b.)upgrade the width to at least 8" ? or both? if i go to a +48 offset and 8.5" rim, im only going to reduce the push out to the fender by 6mm, and Ive been told that -1degree of camber will give me 6mm itself. The benefit I think will be ill stretching the tire more on the wider rim. 1" wider rim (12.5mm or 0.5" each side) would eat up the extra meat of the tire wouldnt it? did/can you heat and roll the bumper lip and the lip on the \\ piece to the right ? mine http://jasonborowiec.com/specb/javlinj2/P1040237.JPG http://jasonborowiec.com/specb/javlinj2/P1040222.JPG
