StkmltS Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Aw you'll be fine. It'll be just like when I take my scout group hiking. The slowest goes in front to set the pace. You'll have fun because I'll be trying to stay on your tail, and I'll have fun because he'll be trying to stay on my tail. Even the slowest car can break ahead of the group at times, so having more HP in the rear gives everyone the ability to catch up with the car they're behind. It also helps keep the group's speed mostly under control. I'm all for driving dangerously fast, but driving fast as a group in an uncontrolled environment is asking for trouble. I like to think of it as driving irresponsibly, in a responsible way My DiySB rebuild Got Misfires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cincy05LGT Posted May 27, 2017 Author Share Posted May 27, 2017 I'm down for a spirited cruise just as soon as I get the new suspension finished up. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cincy05LGT Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) New vs old. Rears are bolted up, fronts go on later this week. How crucial is corner balancing really going to be to get maximum handling for autox? I have a shop in mind, but would prefer to just get a max camber alignment.

d22597 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Nice! I just finished mine over the weekend. I set the front at 48mm and the rear at 38mm. It's sitting 26" floor to lip both front and back. Ride is much nicer than I expected. Firm, but not harsh. Obviously handling is much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait to feel what this is like at opposite ends of the damping adjustment spectrum, and everywhere in-between.

I just purchased whiteline roll center kit and LCA bushings. New wheels/tires have been waiting for suspension upgrades since march. Hopefully I will get a chance to get everything installed and aligned over the next couple of weeks. Then on to turbo, injectors, pump and catback.

Cincy05LGT Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 Well, here's how she sits now. About 1-1/2in lower in front, and 1in lower in the rear. It really looks perfect at KW's default ride height. Next steps: camber plates, rear adjustable arms, corner balance and autox alignment. Then wider meats.

Cincy05LGT Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 (edited) 3rd gear is totally gone. Every other gear sounds like a blender. It happened at lunch rolling into boost in 3rd, luckily limped it back to work. Hoping to have an 06+ STi drivetrain to install this winter after all the wedding expenses are sorted. I miss driving this car so much. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Edited June 29, 2017 by Cincy05LGT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cincy05LGT Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 Well it's been awhile. Gonna keep it short since I'm on honeymoon, but I'm ready to get this thing moving again. I picked up a used low mileage 5mt from jdmenginespro on eBay and received it last week. Seems in good condition and shifts through all gears smoothly. Aside from transferring sensors and harness, anything I should consider checking before install? Maybe axle seals or output shaft seal? The 4runner is great, but I can't wait to get some boost back into my life... Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cincy05LGT Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 Checked the old fluid tonight in the new trans, and everything looks great. No shimmer in the oil, and no chunks as I would expect from a gearbox with less than 55k miles (as stated by the seller JDM engine pro). I got a bit curious about this unit and googled the part number TY757VDCAB and determined from Rallispec's trans catalog that it is from a 2006 JDM 2.0R Legacy, but that's about it. It would be nice to find out if the gear ratios are the same or different. I'm almost positive it has an open front diff and viscous limited center. Anyone know where I could find that info? Anyways, I'll begin disassembly this weekend, and should hopefully have the car driveable again by next weekend.

Cincy05LGT Posted November 20, 2017 Author Share Posted November 20, 2017 The old gearbox is out! Just need to transfer shifter bushings, sensors and wire harness, and gather some new exhaust hardware and gaskets and we'll be all set. Oh, and some blast plates.
