DoctorDaveLGT Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 No idea just yet, I'm hoping to get around to upgrading the entire system this summer and see what the shop will recommend. I've had the sub mount and door cards for the McIntosh mid's installed for a few years now and never got around to adding the speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if that made any difference. However, looking at your endlinks you will need their spacers. They should be as perpendicular as possible to the ground. Also, based on WL's guide for the locking collars, they can be installed on either side. Both inside / towards the center of the car for each collar. https://www.rallysportdirect.com/part/kar-kb-017wls-kartboy-whiteline-front-swaybar-spacers https://www.whiteline.com.au/docs/install_guides/Z5160.pdf Oh, cool! I'll definitely get those spacers. I wasn't real thrilled with how those endlinks lined up. However, it is impossible to install the lateral locks on either side of the bushing. As shown in the pics, the bar is curving as it comes out of the bushing on the outboard side and the frame is too close to the bar on the inboard side. The only way to do it would be to fab a spacer for the bushing bracket that would push the bar far enough out from the frame so that they could be installed on the inboard side. Not sure what that would do to clearances to other components and are they REALLY necessary? The factory didn't use them and I've never seen them on other aftermarket kits I've used on other vehicles. Lateral forces on the bar should be pretty minimal except in the most extreme circumstances. I'm willing to put them on if there's a decent solution that allows it but I don't think it's going to be a problem if they aren't installed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infosecdad Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 I tried them and got clunking out of it; took them off and never missed them. I think the idea is that it keeps the bar centered, but I was never convinced that it was a problem that needed solving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pksystems Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 (edited) Installed agency power billet pitch stop. Made a mount for AFPR. Pulled the TGV's again and ground off as much of the extra crap on the ends to make more room for the new fuel lines. Put new seals on injectors and installed the fuel rails. I'm pretty sure I have the parallel fuel line layout figured out. Edited January 8, 2023 by pksystems 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody was injured, she just ended up in the ditch. I had to pull the bumper, that was mostly off already, off. The radiator support is bent and the radiator is slightly peaked but doesn't seem to be cracked, so at minimum I'm looking at a bumper and a radiator. Every body shop is booked into mid February. I got lucky with my rental and ended up with a '21 Crosstrek Sport. SC 6 1994 Legacy MI 2008 Legacy GT specB 2023 Crosstrek Limited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had the firewall mount tear out with solid mounts. Also, be very diligent in checking for fuel leaks with the AP rails and lines. Not just during install, but every day. I refused to sell or install AP rails and lines after 3 car-b-ques. 2 had leaks at the rails develope several months after install/tuning. 1 had the lines coating melt and then the line gave out after about 12-16 months. Run the lines high, not low under the manifild. Equal length lines works best too. I built a LOT of fuel lines for Subies. I can post pix when at a pc. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will see how the pitch stop is once this is on the road. I still have the factory one I can swap back in later if it's too harsh. The rails and AFPR are Aeromotive. Lines are fragola teflon lined stainless braid that I've used on my DSM and never had a leak (when it works) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asking if I had to do this again. I used Earls Ultra Pro lines and the AN fitting for my parallel / equal length line setup. I used their Polyester Braided lines (not SS) which were very easy to work with considering you need a sharp blade / box cutter to make your cuts. It was my first time building my own fuel lines and I learned a ton. It wasn't the cheapest but I wanted something easy to work with. I forget how many lines I made in total but not a single one leaked / failed after I leak tested each one overnight under pressure. The only thing I wasn't fond of was abrasion resistance with the polyester. I don't expect the lines to move around much but definitely could get snagged on sharp edges/corners and expose the inner liner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gex Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Took the Camel GT out to some rainy cold autoX yesterday. Really need to find out if it still has a heater core and hook it back up. Car was fogging up pretty good and it was a chilly wet drive with the windows down. Sliding around was fun though.
