just curious as to why you went with the vled ones?... I run these, I had the same problem as you.

in principle they are the same as the vled ones just less expensive and maybe a couple minutes extra to hook up.

installed coilovers... no drop yet.

I absolutely love my Stage 2 Competition clutch. Price is great. Performance is awesome, engagement is perfect.

 

Any negetive feedback I've read about must have been from people who ride the crap out of their clutch.

 

 

You have the exedy with an oem flywheel right?... did you resurface the flywheel or just get a new oem?

AHHHHHHHHHHH....

 

I think it's clutch time... dammit........ lol

 

My options are ...

 

exedy and act... trying to figure out which to go with...

exedy 15952 + FF502A flywheel

 

ACT

 

SB11-HDSS

 

These two are readily available to me, i'm not sure... they are both equally reviewed/talked about.

Anyone every use the greddy timing belt

 

greddy 13564500 - Timing Belt

 

trying to figure out why they want 300+ cdn dollars for it?

 

 

I used the youtube instructions on the WRX to install my ebcs...and they worked. I get what you are saying, but that is why we have all those stickies and this forum, so we can learn together. Most of the stuff you wont find for our cars is just visually appealing mods, most other performance mods have been covered.

Agreed... this is my second time around.. i've been using this forum since 2010.. i've donated to a free site ... I believe its only fair.

 

The original "debate" was "easy"... and that was the point/joke of my original comment.

It is not harder to modify the car! You said nothing in your previous post about finding parts...that is a whole different problem.

 

 

It goes hand in hand, find a subaru installer(yes 99%) and talk to him about a fifth gen he'll look at you crooked, tell him you have any 08+ wrx/sti and he's a bible I'm sure.

 

same thing with most parts... yah an ebcs from 15+ wrx will fit but I guarantee you won't find one that comes with instructions for installing in a fifth gen. will it work.. sure, is it as easy to install on a fifth gen as a wrx?.... No.

 

That's all I'm saying....

The main difference between the two is where the engine mounts are so...yeah we can compare them pretty easily.

 

we're comparing easy mods... not mechanical//structural difference, also i think there may be a couple of other differences, than engine mounts. ... maybe ...

ok.... ok....I'm wrong it's super easy to find parts for this car,

 

Perrin, grimspeed, avo,cobb.etc...... developed metric sh!tloa@ds of parts for our car, if I go on subie speed, rallysport, ebay..... and type in 2010-12 subaru legacy the amount of parts that come up are abundant.

 

If i'm looking for a front lip there are more than one option avalible.

 

If i look up Easy peezy parts like MBCB// air intake every big name company makes one... grimspeed, perrin, cobb.

 

the biggest tuner of subaru maybe world wide.... Cobb offers maps for all configurations//stages for fifth gens...

 

Don't tell me it's easy to modify a fifth gen compared to an Impreza wrs//sti.... come on guys.

 

When i look up parts for my 2016 wrx ... every manufacturer has their version of the piece... eg look up aero pieces for it. you'll have 10 choices of front lips.

really?

 

Can we really compare the "easy" list of mods for an impreza vs the "easy" mods vs the fifth gen?...

 

just the fact that the mods you two mention were not originally designed for the fifth gen ... it was this community that figured out they would fit. should be proof enough.

EASY WAYS ARE FOR BABIES...... Get an Impreza...lol

 

lol... if it's easy it's probably not worth it, and doesn't fit a fifth gen.

Yes... although a tune would optimize any gains.

 

Yup.. just trying to install the most possible before tune.. thanks

Just doubting myself, ...

 

Can I install my charge pipe and full recirc bpv without tuning?.. I'm thinking yes, but am doubting myself.

Genius.

 

Brass split pins glued down then fix the mesh to those.

thanks yah like those... then i cake them in whatever glue to avoid rusting.

embed little metal tabs in the pu, then tighten the mesh with those. Like the metal tabs on those folders for kids that you fold to hold the sheets. its the way i did mine.. once the mesh is positioned i just glued all the metal tabs down. sorry i could only get pics monday

Theoretical question

 

I was talking with my friends about my Legacy GT and start talking mods I have planned for this year, which led into a possible (and somewhat likely) short block replacement in the future. I of course would do the work of R & R the motor. The question came up what would I drive while my Legacy was down? My quick response was hopefully it will happen during nice weather, so I can just use my GMC Syclone as my daily. I figure it will take about a month to gather parts, assemble the motor, and labor.

 

Their follow up was what if it happen in the middle of the winter or my truck isn't drivable at the moment? [sometimes my Syclone isn't always together and their is always the potential for it to break down as well given its age and that I race it from time to time.] It was a good question that I don't a have a good answer for. If it happens in 2-3 years from now I probably would just buy a new Forester XT or Outback and move up one piece of my long term plan of WRX and SUV. Prior to the that time period, I probably don't have the money to comfortably afford a new car payment & additional insurance.

 

Do I buy a used cheaper Subaru and sell afterward or just keep that as winter driver? (Thinking a reliable 2.5i)

Do I rent a car for a month? (Probably cost me $1000)

Do I lease a relatively cheap new car?

Do I buy new WRX and sell Legacy GT after reassembly? (I like my GT, so probably not this option though)

 

This question could also come up when I am due for a clutch or TOB, but I will at least have some warning with the clutch replacement for plan purposes.

 

 

 

hehehe.. I've done this several times.. buy a semi busted beater(something thats easy for you to fix) for cheap... +/-500$ invest 500$ and some time, use for your purposes and sell for 1500$...

 

 

works like a charm... also timing is critical, spring is when a lot of people get rid of their beaters...

19x8.5 +45 seems to be a real sweet spot for our chassis as far as increased size, improved look, and ease of fitment. Often paired with 245/40/19. Looks really nice on stock height and leaves plenty of room for lowering with little to no fender modification. I think you'll be happy with that size.

 

 

I know I'll be happy .. I'm going to be running the same specs as my first build...

 

http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/spideys-2012gt-build-thread-201999.html

Ordered a new set of Wheels.... konig oversteer 19x8.5 +45 .... really wasn't happy with the fitment of the 19x9.5s ... it could probably work, but the work that would be involved is too much for me, also I feel it would reduce the purpose of the car.. I want to be able to drive my car without thinking... ohh I shouldn't hit that bump, or I should be careful when cornering because I might smash a fender...

I have absolutely zero concerns about fender clearance. My incoming wheels are 19x9+50. If I hit anything, it'll be the strut. I'm considering running spacers and just get the tire width I want anyway. Or I could go full-on enabling and go with coils, although I'm pretty sure my wife would murder me in my sleep since she knows where I live.

 

 

Yup... technically you're 3.7mm closer to the strut...

http://www.willtheyfit.com/index.php?width=255&aspect=35&diameter=19&wheelwidth=9&offset=50&width2=255&aspect2=35&wheel_size=19&wheel_width=9-5&offset2=40

Ok, I'm happy I asked because your build thread just mentions you have coils and makes no distinction that they're not installed yet. Does this mean you're clearing the struts then?

 

I ask because I'm trying to figure out what tire size I want to go with on my 19x9's, so I'm asking just about anyone that's on 19's and 9 inches or wider.

yup, they clear the spring perches but there is going to be alot more fender work to be done on the fronts than anticipated.. which is why im sort of uncomfortable with this setup. I test fitted them last night and am not sure... yet.

People should be giving all the specs anytime they post or ask questions about any wheel and tire combo, but unfortunately most people are dipshits and only post half assed or useless info. I guess no one ever taught them to be clear when they speak.

 

 

Thanks man..... /sarcasm.....

 

 

Ok i'll feed you baby birds....

 

at the bottom of my post is THE LINK FOR MY BUILD... with every little bit of info .... but because I don't want to be a "dipshit" as the God of the forums clearly called me... good job belittling people tough guy.

 

255/35/19 on a 19x9.5 +40... I have coils but haven't installed them yet.

Perrin makes one for the 15+ WRX, it fits our cars

Finally mounted my tires on my wheels,

 

Niche Citrine 19x9.5 on 255/35/19s... yeah spring is on it's way....

Anyone know what 2.5na manifold would fit and what would be involved... I saw "frenchy" did it on his and man... the plastic intake has bothered me since day 1...

va falloir qu'on ce rencontre cette ete... i gotta see this beast.

 

 

Here is a pics of the install.
