Creature Posted December 2, 2016 Author Share Posted December 2, 2016 Interesting setup man! Will be a bit of fun, What was it in before the subaru? Cheers. The engine and trans came out of my old Subaru that i built around 5 years ago. I kinda crashed it and the body was not worth repairing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creature Posted December 2, 2016 Author Share Posted December 2, 2016 You ruined it... nah sounds cool, B4's are great cars but the TT system sucks. Appears you removed brake booster & ABS and have a different (subaru?) MC/proportioning valve, Any issues with the steering? Good spotting. Yes i have removed the ABS and brake booster but replaced it all with the non ABS system from a 1996 Subaru. (there is a brake booster in there still just hard to see) I have also swapped the complete steering column out of an earlier Subaru aswell. Steering rack is from the B4, all other parts are OEM except the steering universal shaft thats been lengthened due to the xmember being spaced down 75mm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R100 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 We are doing some late as nights here at the moment. Chris and i are trying to get both our own projects up and running asap. Heres some other random pics of the Subarus progress. Have just ordered a set of custom lips from 41 degree wheels. Wheels are Work VS-XX with 6" inner lips. Outers are 2" dish for front and 7" dish for the rears. Greg at 41 degree wheels has been a great help and when they didnt have the correct tooling for what we wanted, they have gone and made up new tooling to get the 7" lips made. Picture below of a wheel when purchased. (17x7") Rear tyres are friggin huge! I remember my Diablo had 335-35-17"s So i suggested Chris should get the same size as they are such a awsumly wide tyre. Got a spare pair while we were at it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lt. Dan Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Its been awhile since I've had a scooby front end apart so excuse the question if it's stupid. It appears you are running RWD only now, what did you do with the front steering knuckles/CV shafts? Do you need the front stub shafts to keep the wheel bearings/hubs in place and sealed up on these or can you just pull the shafts and leave it that way? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Usually you keep the inner and outer CV joints in place to hold the wheel bearings together/stop the gearbox oil coming out (if running original Subaru 4WD trans) and then remove the driveshaft portion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plox Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Has the tune happened, how did it go? I saw it at the supermarket yesterday and it reminded me to check progress here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
