s2baru Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 Lookin good! Thank ya. Few more cosmetic things have been done, gotta wait for warmer weather for the next few things. @minnicums. I don't drive too aggressively and I commute 60miles everyday on the interstate at 70-75mph so I might stretch it longer, but I can deff tell its not as strong as it used to be that's for sure and its around 26xxx miles currently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minuccims Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I lasted 12K miles Stage I + 24K miles on Stage II with a 100 mile per day commute. I noticed it slip first in 4th and 5th gear accelerating on the highway. I set a four week limit. The clutch was toasted. Once the new clutch was in, it was clear that the OEM clutch was never strong. For the first time, the car launched. Well, when its time, its time!

s2baru Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 Picked up a few things in the last month. JdM style BaysonR lip is painted and just waiting to install. Megan racing rear control arms and toe kit are sitting in there boxes. Forgestar F14 19x9 +35 are on order from Moore Performance. Next up is to order a new clutch becuae it will prob start to slip this summer. Looking at the ClutchMaster fx350 Here's a vid of our subie club last weekend.

pfoyle Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Next up is to order a new clutch becuae it will prob start to slip this summer. Looking at the ClutchMaster fx350 FWIW, I've heard mixed reviews about CM... my tuner and my mechanic (a Subaru guy) both (independently) recommended Exedy clutches/flywheels... I think that's the route I'll be going when the need arises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brainchild Customs Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 looking forward to seeing the wheels on the car. Went with 9's huh? I thought you were originally looking at the 9.5s And +1 on exedy clutches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2baru Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 I was going to go the same specs as yours but it came down to I didnt want to wait 2-3months again like last year and only to then have the supplier say 8months and it blow my whole summer without a setup on, luckily they gave me my money back. In this scenario FORGESTAR was low on material for 9.5 wide, so I lowered the offset to compensate a bit and went for the 9 ill have a few more millimeters inside for clearances. Just 3mm less poke is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minuccims Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Interesting video. 1st gear to upper RPMs way quicker with the 6MT. Car sounds great. Here's a vid of our subie club last weekend. Forward to the 1min mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brainchild Customs Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Good call on the change in offset. Should look really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2baru Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 I've got my fingers crossed. Just now have to decide if 255/35 or a 265/35 tire. The 255 seems be a tad less $$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coppertone Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 s2baru, I went to Moore Performance website, yet I did not see anything on wheels for sale. Is this one of those you need to call us with your wants and needs company? Just curious as to what wheels they offer before I spring for mine on Friday. 2010 2.5GT limited is for sale.

GTEASER Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 S2, please weigh one before you get tires put on. On an accurate scale, like at the Post Office or something like that. This is what I am looking to go with in Piano Black or Brushed Platinum. Same specs just slightly different offset, I think +42 for me. Thx.

torquemonster Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I am digging the way your tieing the orange into your car. On the other hand it is way too bright for me. But its deff a good looking gen5!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2baru Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 Thanks I appreciate it and glad to hear peoples opinions.. Its bit different than what most have been doing with the direction of their 5thgens, but I'm all for being unique. I'm not an attention whore I just hate being like everyone else and just wanted to put my own flare on things. I'm thinking of a few more ideas but need some photoshop skills before throwing the money at it and not liking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
