Underdog Motorsports - 2015 STI Steering Rack Swap
luchadorjose replied to Underdog's topic in Suspension/Brakes
With proper toe and caster, the wheel should center. He's probably got zero toe or even slightly toed out, with an old school alignment. I wouldn't worry about the wheel not returning to center -

I'm talking OEM options, not like a quaife or cusco. Then you're 1100+. OEM 5mt FLSD optinos are so limited and rare, i'm not surprised you get sodomized on price -

Unless you know someone upgrading their STI (rare), they're impossible to find under $600, and that's just silly. The guys I know who found STI owners paid 200-300. And I've been poor since I bought a house anyway, so all I have are dreams -

I want a front LSD from an STI so badly. I can even live without DCCD for that. I already have the R180, just need the front helical... *sob* -

I wish that the system handled traction and stability control separately. It would be nice to say "hey, I don't mind spinning tires, just not spinning the car" versus "hey, i don't mind rotating the car, just don't smoke individual tires" and finally "shut up, I GOT THIS" -

Steering Guru's please...
luchadorjose replied to quick4dr's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
I want to say rallysportdirect. I'm not positive. Sean - the floaty steering around a cloverleaf is probably due to the fact the the car has taken a set to the outside and then squats during acceleration. THe front inside tire is unweighted from the lateral force, and then the front starts to lift from acceleration. To combat that, you could add an anti-lift kit, stiffer spring/shocks or coils, but I'm not sure steering mods would really attack the root cause -

I think my whiteline bushings were 60$ and my cusco brace was 70$, and those are tried/tested to fit so maybe start there. Those two things help out the same way this would. It's all about eliminating things that flex/deflect when forces are applied -

It will work. It will be a pain to install. When I had my motor out, I swapped my steering linkage with damper out for a GR STI linkage, which acoomplishes the same thing (STI is solid). You get a better on center steering feel, more communication mid turn, and better feel during fast transitions. Is it a huge improvement? No. I might have even only noticed it because I also happen to have the whiteline steering rack bushings and cusco steering rack brace. What MC said, if you have the money, do it and it's worth it. If you don't have the money, don't do it and you're not really missing out. -

Seeing that pod and how well it's done makes me want to prioritize the additional gauges I want. They got back burnered because I couldn't find a suitable mounting solution -
CovertRussian's 05 LGT Build Thread
luchadorjose replied to covertrussian's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
The bolt length isn't the only issue. Moore gives you a higher grade bolt, which is why they increase the torque spec on tightening them so much over OEM. That tighter torque is a huge part of why they offer so much improvement. They have a lot of R&D into that product -
KILLER deal on Lower control arms
luchadorjose replied to Harsho1's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
PB blast the **** out of them, tap them a million times with a hammer at different angles, PB blast them some more. Do this a couple times over a day or two. When you're trying to undo them, try tightening them first. Don't even need to make them turn, just give it pressure in that direction. PB blast them again, hit it with a hammer again. Then try loosening them. I've gotten both of my knuckle bolts out, knock on wood. -
My tuner said that he commonly sees AP's flicker/reset when hitting boost, on the dyno or on the street. My personal opinion is that the OBD2 ports are not designed to hold onto the plugs very firmly, I know mine wiggled around even when the AP cord plug was new
