  1. I finally got to spend some time in my car last night after this mod (over the weekend). This was a very nice change to the clutch response.
  2. I have a couple ideas to fabricate one. However, it will be out of carbon fiber. I'll keep you posted. It will take a few weeks.
  3. Any word on Altidore? How bad was the 'strain' or was it a full pull?
  4. Yeah, but is was a tough one. Belgium isn't going to be easy either...and they aren't going to let us lose that one and advance.
  5. What's lame is watching any other televised sport and spending more time on commercials than the sport. However with soccer and rugby no commercials during each half; I'm sure that'll change in the future or maybe go side-by-side but it is nice while it lasts.
  6. But an lwcp isn't going to give more power. The interesting thing is the reduction in spool time to max rpm. If the data point were taken as apples to apples from 15.3 sec to 15.22 sec. A reduction in almost .1 sec, please check your data for the exact numbers and let us know. Or just go from say time to get from 2000 rpm to 5500 rpm.
  7. Why not just buy the correct crank pulley tool? http://www.jatmotorsports.com/subaru-crank-pulley-tool/ ...or am I missing something?
  8. Is it possible to leave the damper, just change the dampening profile (so to speak), which would help with more consistent launching?
  9. Next order and we get the 25% off mark - 3 days to go. So, it is highly likely that we will attain this goal. Make your order now or take your chance next year that they will get the 60 people. (This year the number of required sales were reduced and group buy duration extended because of Crawford missed their ship date of last friday, now shipping this friday.)
  10. Seems a cheap(er) and possible solution to combat the brake fade is just to get a new set of pads. A better set of pads. It will not change your front/rear distribution unless you taylor the pad set, but it should help brake fade, correct? (provided you buy a good set).
  11. Installed: http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4308126&postcount=1 http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/crawford-os-210049.html?t=210049&highlight=crawford+AOS 6 to go to get to the 25% mark. (as of 10-Jan-14)
  12. http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2576662 The Crawford Air Oil Separator group buy has been extended to the 17th Jan. We are only 12 people away from the 25% off tier. I ordered the universal kit.
  13. Agreed. However, with 50 sizes, having the options narrowed help. But it doesn't answer bias questions. I guess the point that no one is answering is front to rear balance. It is not about finding something that fits. I know I can get BBK's to fit. This method of randomly pulling STi Brembos and installing them, then hoping that front to rear balance is appropriate is not actually so appropriate. The question is: with a 355 mm front kit, what size rear kit goes on to maintain a 52/48 front to rear bias. Or if we go to 335 front, what rear kit? What is a general appropriate balance? I read somewhere NASIOC, maybe, that stock is 55/45 balance, but it also said that it could be rear biased a little more. So is 52/48 a good number? Yeah, NASIOC says something about center of gravity and forward loading, blah, blah, blah, but those "almost equations" have holes in them, and there are a lot of assumptions that I have not found information for...i.e. stopping power of a 335 mm BBK vs. 355 mm BBK. (Admittedly, I have not had time to fully research it.) Again the limiting factor are the tire to pavement contact. Sorry to hijack the thread.
  14. What size front and rear BBK's did you go with? Tirerack is recommending 355 mm/345 mm or maybe that is all they have tried.
  15. I certainly have interest in brake upgrades, but there are no clear guides on front-to-rear sizing...i.e. 350 mm fronts, does that mean a 305 mm rear rotor for a 52-48 braking distribution....and what is really optimal braking distribution? It is a lot of money to spend without knowing what one is doing. I have read through some of the NASIOC stuff, but even there it says to not make any changes if you do not need to...effectively. However, there might have been some information on NASIOC for braking distribution, it was a while ago when read it. Oh, and since the limiting factor is generally always tire to payment interaction, it makes spending the money harder to justify. I'll keep researching when I get a chance.
  16. I do not have any real comments on this. Is there an inferior ladder system, probably. The indy lights only race a few races per year, but by the same token the series can pull drivers where ever they can get them. Sponsorship plays a role in this too, you'd want to hire a driver than can pull in corporate money. I think that is part of the reason Andretti Autosport kept Danica around for so long. She could bring in cash even though she was a middle of the pack driver. But you're probably right, Marco and Graham may just need more maturity, they are in the mid-twenties if I recall. A few more years and we may see them on the podium.
  17. they were going to place the order to at like 9 am MST. so you can probably get in if you try...before then
  18. I've done it when I had to fill up at a gas station that only had lower grade gas; at a station with very old pumps...knowing that if the pumps are that old, there is no way that tank underground is completely sealed off.
