A pint of brake fluid should fill the lines and reservoir, you will have enough to top off the master cylinder after you bleed them afterwards. If you want a lifetime ceramic brake pad just get the mastercraft ceramics from autozone or O'reillys, there about 45 bucks per set..they are pretty good. I bought the ebc reds after I bought new rotors, I have shitty L brakes so I need all the friction and stopping power I can get..lol I hate my brakes and envy yours...do them some justice bro!!!

Polishing brake calipers is along the same lines of wheel polishing, if you wanted to remove the paint from your wheels and end with a chrome-like finish. You can do them by hand but its quite tedious because of the curves and corners of the calipers. I have done some before on some rsx calipers before I put them on my civic years ago, I sanded them out with some 250 grit emory cloth and got some rough rubbing compound got them shiny on a bench grinder with a wool polishing wheel. You can get them to a mirror finish if you polish them on the wheel with a 400 grit scratch and a fine rubbing compound. Its a pretty dirty job but worth it in the end if that's the look you like. I had some six spoke drags on my civic with those big shiny calipers and I was totally happy. They were blinding.

Yeah, doesn't look too bad. That would be slick to polish the calipers too but that is a ton of work and time.

http://www.g2usa.com/product/G2.html Looks good, I was at lowes yesterday to get a can of plastidip, and I saw they bad a bunch of different colors of high temp paints. Even a lime green one twisty.

Isn't the body of your car silver and black wrx wheels? I think it would be different if you painted the calipers and brackets the color of the body and the "Subaru"casting red or black. Paint the control arms red or even yellow.

That's insane, I the only thing more insane is the Saudi Arabian drifters doing their thing on the freeways out there.

That does NOT look like fun at all, can't people just be happy going 70 on a twisty dirt road?

I know its not a particularly hard job, monkey has the brakes I have been searching for, the last set of o5 wrx brakes that I could have had in my clutches were $600...the guy selling them bought them off another friend for $150...me no likey being hustled. I don't actually hate monkey hes a smart guy that does smart things to his cars..

I hate you right now monkey, almost as much as I hate the l brakes. I had a very scary situation last night, I had absolutely stomp on my brakes at 70 mph..guess what my brakes did? A big NOTHING, a guy in his giant truck lost control in the next lane over and almost completed a pit manuever. These l brakes are on the verge of unsafe above 60 mph.

Wow man, those are some great prices for those motors...I just spent 900 in december to get my ej22 for my bd, Damn. What is the Japanese motor code for the turbocharhed ej20 Dohc?

F-it take the radio out, that motor turning would be a symphony! Lol,

To be honest I like the cupholder in the first gen legacy better than 2nd gen, true they could be bigger but in Japan and Europe the biggest drink cup you get is a 16 oz apparently.

Give it time

Well, that's the new motor, body has 232,784.. I got it at 97,000 in 2010 the car I pulled it out of had 89xxxx..the donor car was t-boned in2010

93,6008

Got all the center console, radio bezel, ashtray, and change compartment parts out of a 94 sedan at the junkyard this morning. Just finished installing everything except a radio, now the interior of my wagon is 80% complete. Whats cool is that everything is now black except the dash and seats which are grey. The interior was an ugly ass color blue. Body and trim now match the inside. Wrx seats coming up in next couple weeks. I'm debating keeping the rear seats grey because the wrx seats don't flip down.

He is not driving it much anymore, he likes driving his Chevy s-10, been doing lots at work on the motor he is putting in it, gone motor crazy it had a sohc 2.2 ecotec crappy ass motor then he put a 3. 8 V6 supercharged and now he wants to go back to the prehistoric era carbureted with a small block v8 283. He loves that trucks styling. I told him to put a Sti 257 in it..lol that would have been a great mash up.

That's sick, my father has an 86 t-bird with that motor in it, its got an LSD and a pacesetter, mostly stock but he need a brake proportioning valve that seems elusive to him..that thing can slide around and drift pretty well.

Ill be using du-pont chromaOne silverI have some experience with it but I'm just blocking down the original clear coat, which is half done by the sun here..car was titled in new Mexico for the first 12 years of its long life so no rust to remove:). The only other thing is there is a nasty bit of damage on the rocker panel below the pass.rear door that I will have to section. Hopefully by winter it will be registered and on the road again.

Nice dude, ill soon be joining you in bodywork bliss..and spraying in my backyard with tarps and fans...good thing it will more than likely be about 105° so it will basically force dry.

Indeed, looking very nice US, what color you going with?

Modified a shortshifter from an 05 9-2x yesterday and installed it in the .:'fleabag'.: this morning, pretty cool feeling now since when I bought the car it felt like you could literally baseball throw it in gear from the back seat.

The struts are coming a off an 03 sedan 5 speed...going on a legacy sedan 4eat.

Feeling quite dense after reading all this suspension info between these models.lol...I will soon be pulling out whats left of my hair from the last thread I read on this subject.. I want to know that I can go to an 02-03 wrx sedan that is being parted out as we speak to grab all struts springs and swaybars take them to my legacy which is ready for these parts and slap them in there. I don't care how much lower it will be I just want the spring rates and less body roll...

I was getting a little worried about the first gen forum, for a while it seemed like no one was posting. Bondo work is very time and material consuming, its all about practice putting on and taking off. The first gens have long, flat areas and those are the hardest panels to get right imo. The way I like to do those types of panels with an air file is to just bring the bondo down to about the same level with a 40e grit, then if you have a d/a sander take it down a little bit closer with 80 perforated sanding discs so the paper doesn't load up with bondo so fast. Get some cheap black or a dark colored spray paint and lightly spray the whole panel with it and block it down by hand with 180 grit paper until all of the dark spray paint is gone then you know your bondo is at the same level. A lot depends on what kind of primer you will be using, etching primers for the most part are self leveling and you shouldn't need to block it down if you are spraying evenly. The 180 grit scratch is perfect for sandable primers, for etching primers you will want a finish grit of 200-240.
