Your 2013 plans for your Subaru??


Recommended Posts

What's in my cart at Infamous Performance site. Still debating if I'm going to pull the trigger on everything now.

DTT-PST-STI-SUB Group N Pitch Stop Mount

 

This is what I'm thinking about. I already have the Mishimoto Radiator & Sti 6MT mount installed.

 

I'm somewhat disappointed in the group n pitch stop.. There's still a lot of movement. I'm sure you're putting down more power than I; just a heads up- the torque solutions bit isn't much more expensive, and is billet aluminum.

Hopefully wrap up the complete stg 2. Suspension is done, may need new top hats since the koni's or getting noisey and I cant imagine they are gone already. STi master/booster will finish off the brakes. Purchase CNT DP, AEM WB, Perrin Column pod, then visit bren with all you crazy f*ckers one day and be done.. Only b/c gotta get the house this year or else Ill be divorced by 30 lol

This year is all on/about the brakes and I will start with the grimmspeed master cylinder brace. SS lines, rotors, calipers, pads etc whenever I see a deal. Though I did just put new rotors and pads all around, not the best but better than oem, so I'll see if I want to switch them out or not

 

Wasn't on my to do list but got a new(used) set of wheels and tires for the summer. I thought it was a Deal(thanks Dan)

^ my .02 do the STi/Master booster swap before the MCB, I picked up mine for 60$ shipped, 13$ hose and from what I understand it firms the pedal right up. Its a smaller Booster more room for working on it, Spearco TMIC fitment or whatever. I got DBAs/Hawks SS lines super blue fluid all around and its still mushy.

Made an appointment today to have the Koni's and Epic's installed on the wagon next Monday. Picked up both coolant caps from the dealer on the way home for it.

 

Will change out the rear brake pads on the Spec with Hawk Ceramic's sometime in Spring.

 

May be do a DP on the Spec too.

after i pay off my new snow tires i picked up on 12/30, in 2013 i plan to:

 

do 120k services

price some shocks/struts (not sure of what yet, something better than stock)

LCA bushings

possible alignment

do break pads all around

get a set of summer tires

possibly get my catted UP replaced with a used STI one

 

after all that is done, along with anything else that pops up, ill start planning my stage II upgrades for late 2013/ early 2014.

My goal is stage 3 by the fall. Brake setup and suspension bushings and ball joints to match.

 

For ball joints, think spindles and ball joints.

 

You can get new Spindles for about $120 each, thats money spent for time, labor, busted knockles, laying under the car pissed off because the pinch bolt broke off.
