Six_wheeler Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Hello people, One of the first things that caught my eye about the 3.0R I'm about to get is the huge brakes. A stupid question, I know, but I feel compelled to ask: Are they as good as they look? Shady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 I dont recall them being any different.. which 3.0R would you be refering to??? I think USDMs are different and run on 16" wheels? I dont remember. Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six_wheeler Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 Keefe, from what I saw in the showroom, the brakes on the H6 are definitely bigger than those on the car with the 2.5 four-banger. The rotors on both ends are larger, and the rear ones are ventilated, as opposed to solid disks on the 2.5. Nut Bucket, the Typhoon has cost me about 28,000 riyals so far (about $5,300). Break me even and it's yours. It has only 42,000 kms on it. This is a Saudi Typhoon.

I dont remember. the rims are 17" would i like a little extra grab...yes but i'm waiting on the issue of the lower arm bushing falling apart. more grab will be more stress on them. if i do i will get the hawk hps http://www.hawkperformance.com/performance/hps.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were probably comparing to a 2.5i and not the GT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rotors on both ends are larger, and the rear ones are ventilated, as opposed to solid disks on the 2.5. Shady The 2.5GTs come with 12.3" rotors up front and 11.3 rotors in the rear, both are vented.. I think you are looking at the 2.5i normal aspirated version? The 2.5GTs (turbo) in the US need 17" rims to clear the calipers.. the 2.5i (NA) are 16" wheels.. The Legacy did away the solid disk since 04 for the rears..

Xenonk Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 well, I just checked using http://www.subaru.com for the US 2006 models.. The 2.5i (non turbo) has smaller brakes than the GT, but has the same rotor sizes as the 3.0R: 11.5" front, 10.6" rear The 2.5GT has 12.3" front, and 11.3" rear. All 3 cars are all vented rotors at all 4 corners. Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six_wheeler Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 I will trade you a 20g for it? That color hurts my eyes Are you kidding me? Teal is one of the rare colors for Typhoons. Only a few in 1992. What's a 20g? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six_wheeler Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 The one I saw (and will get) is the one with the 3.0 H6, standing right next to a 2.5i. The rotors are larger, and the 16" wheels from the 2.5 will not fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garandman Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Was it a Spec B? In many countries the Spec B is the H6 and so you might have the larger brakes. Who Dares Wins スバル Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six_wheeler Posted June 15, 2006 Author Share Posted June 15, 2006 Well, not a terrible deal but I'd have a hell of time getting it into the US. What trouble has it given you? The latest? A piston pin crept out and scoffed the cylinder wall, and now it needs an engine rebuild. Having stood still for years, everything went bad from spark plugs to piston rings, as well as ECM trouble, not to mention the scarsity of parts. All sorted out, but now the engine...
