  1. The adjustable one's from BNT, does anyone have a part number for these? Are they Subaru GC8 specific or a generic item used on a wide variety of vehicles? Thoughts on rear swaybar links, go aftermarket, e.g. whiteline, Nolathane, etc or reuse the OEM link but replace bushes with Nolathane? Cheers
  2. The lower boots have perished. Going with whiteline or nolathane links; being that they are meant to be aftermarket heavy duty, wont they be better for track use? What about the rest of the bushings, replace with OEM rubber or upgrade to nolathane? Cheers
  3. Starting to replace all the bushes with nolathane and the front swaybar links are looking past it. Its gets used for the odd track day every now and then and thought it was time to start upgrading bushes, links, etc.
  4. Morning all, I'm starting to replace all my bushes and swaybar links, quick question; I have the following front swaybar links on my 98 Subaru GC8 V4 STI Coupe, http://s850.photobucket.com/user/Aaron_McLean/media/OEM_zpstnbngwnb.jpg.html?sort=3&o=1 Can I use the following (for example Whiteline KLC32), http://s850.photobucket.com/user/Aaron_McLean/media/KLC32_zpsslgt1epy.jpg.html?sort=3&o=2 Or, Do I have to use these (for example Whiteline KLC139), http://s850.photobucket.com/user/Aaron_McLean/media/KLC139_zpsmu6lb4zg.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0 Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers
  5. Anyone used the Australian made Hakon adjustable suspension? Any info, user feedback, etc would be awesome. How does/would it compare to the likes of BC Golds, Truhart, etc?
  6. Anyone know much / anything about the Nakamoto brake rotors advertised on TM; https://www.trademe.co.nz/1657429043 Need to replace my brembo discs and wanting something for daily use plus the odd play day / track day here and there. Would love DBA 4000s or some Endless rotors, just dont have the coin for those at present. Any thoughts, advise, ideas greatly appreciated. Cheers
  7. Hey guys, Quicky query, In the process of rebuilding my brembo calipers and have purchased the appropriate seal rebuild kits, however these kits dont include the small o-rings that are fitted internally between the two caliper halves. Has anyone run into the same issue, if so where abouts did you manage to get some from? Are they anything special, e.g. heat / temp resistant, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers
  8. Yep exactly what I did...hasn't changed anything unfortunately lol
  9. I'm running a 6 speed box with 6 speed slave cylinder, 5 speed clutch and starter at the moment. Have got a 6 speed starter motor on the shelf in preparation, plan is to upgrade clutch and flywheel. For the life of me I cannot work out why it's doing it lol. Will have a read through the article that Joker mentioned.
  10. Hey guys, Quick query, Under normal driving conditions the clutch pedal returns fully out, however on full throttle / boost the pedal sticks in and doesnt return and I have to toe flick it to get it to pop back out. Now initially I thought there may have been air in the clutch line so I unbolted the slave cylinder, inverted and bled the system however there was no air present. Is there anything else I should be considering? I'm aware that the clutch fork spring is not installed, would this have a part to play? Thanks
  11. Does anyone know of any resale outlets in NZ that sell fibreglass front fenders for the gc8 model? Going wider in rims/tyres so trying to source some replacement guards. Any help greatly appreciated. Cheers
  12. Cheers for all the help Tony, much appreciated!
  13. Yeah thats what i used. Going to a 18x8.5 with a +35 offset, this will move 5.3mm further away from the strut, with my current clearances and going to a 245 tyre i should be able to maintain enough clearance between the strut and the inside of the tyre. Does this sound about right?
  14. Cheers Tony. Going back to my current situation, with my 5x100 17x7.5 running 225 45 r17 tyres, ive got approximately 15-20mm in the front and 10-15mm in the rear in relation to strut inner tyre clearance. I roughly worked out that i'd need to run a +35 or +30 offset in a 17x8.5 or 18.8.5 to maintain the inner clearance especially with running a 245 tyre, does this sound right? You mentioned your rims were a +48 offset and still had clearance? Im now wondering if ive worked things out incorrectly? Any help would be awesome. Cheers
