  1. No bushings or anything, and the cars still on it's stock suspension, which is the weirdest part.. Does that sound right? Stock suspension, tires/wheels/etc within supposedly acceptable specs and it still rubs? I also went with a 225/40 instead of the stock 215/45, which means the tires are shorter, but wider. I don't know, i'm very confused. I may take a dremel to the last 1/4" of the lip on my car and see if that's actually where it's hitting. Everywhere else really looks like there's enough clearance, especially when it comes to wheelgap (see a few posts up), though after I put all 4 on, it definitely sat down a little. Thanks for the reply, btw.
  2. Can I get your guys thoughts on something? I put my DR33's on for the summer today and.. they rub a little? Only under braking and turning to the right (left seems to be okay). From what I'd read about a Spec B, I would have thought a 225/40R18 tire on an 18x7.5" would have been perfect, but.. it's definitely rubbing a little. I looked and really couldn't see any evidence on any of the suspension/steering, so my hope is that it's hitting the wheelwell liner or the very end of my fiberglass lip but I don't know, I was pretty bummed out when I heard it. Given the lack of fitment issues with the tiresize/wheels size on a Spec B, is it most likely something non-critical? Maybe the offset wasn't enough? I *think* it was 48, but I'm not 100% on that. edit: looks like the offset is 45. it's within the parameters of the Wheel/Offset thread. thought?
  3. haha, yeah, I just jacked it up a corner at a time, and I don't think it got a chance to settle... at least thats what I hope.. otherwise some new springs will be forthcoming rather shortly.
  4. Did a test fit on my new summer wheels/tires today. Wheels are Drag DR-33 in gloss black, wheels are Falken Azenis RT-615. Very pleased, except with how filthy the car is.
  5. Saw a DGM (I think) Legacy GT in Newbury, NH today around 4pm. Looked like it had tinted tails, so it more or less looked like my car.
  6. Saw a blue Legacy GT (I think it had a scoop) with an aftermarket/custom grill headed south on 93 just south of Concord, NH. I was in the DGM Spec B headed north on the other side.
  7. Lets see.. these were all yesterday. Light blue GT parked at Kathy's Korner Cupboard on Fisherville Rd in Concord, NH. Looked lowered, perhaps? Red GT driven buy a youngish guy (in a suit, I think?) headed east on Route 4 around Chichester, would have been around 6pm or so. Silver GT with black wheels (with chrome lip) headed south on 93 around 3:30pm yesterday, cruising in the right-hand lane at a decent rate of speed.
  8. I actually found that rather than trying to pull out the wire from the connector, and then having to tape up the end or something, I just elected to cut the wire, and put in a male/female disconnector. That way all I have to do to hook it back up is just plug them back in. I elected to do this after I struggled with trying to remove the wire from the connector for like 20 minutes.
  9. If the plate was 'Spec-B', that's me, and yes it's redundant. I was planning on de-badging it, but didn't get around to it before the cold weather set in. I drove down by your shop one day after I got it, but I couldn't stop in, due to being on lunch. I'll stop in eventually though. People drive too slow on Long Pond, but it sounds like me.. edit: maybe we can even throw it up on your dyno sometime and see if we can dispel the spec b vs. lgt hp #'s war.
  10. Alright, what the hell, what have I done wrong? I pulled out the blue/black wire (actually, I cut it, planning on putting in a disconnect instead, because I couldn't get the ******* wire out of the clip, no matter how much pushing in w/ prying I did), and the headlights work.. but no fogs or high beams. This is an '07 spec b. I did the same thing as so many others, and it didn't end up with the same result. What the hell is going on here? edit: hmm.. i'm a retard. I forgot to plug the plug back in after i cut the wire. Wow.. after two cups of coffee today and everything. *sigh*
  11. Thanks for the writeup and pictures. I'll probably try that this weekend, and needless to say, I'm glad I don't have to cut anything
  12. That's what I hope.. because at this point, I do miss the pickup a bit. First step is to get some miles logged, and wait for Cobb to release the Accessport 2.0. Also, I have the benefit of TDC Tuning being here in my hometown!
  13. Wasn't a bad impression by any means. It looked like that Merc was going to road-rage you right into the grass though.. Well, if he could have caught you, that is I was also visiting family up in Rome, having recently traded my STi in favor of my new Spec B. It's definitely a little slower than my STi, but I plan on seeing what I can do about that. What exhaust are you running? It sounded really good.. not too loud, but the Subaru Boxer resonation was more prevalent than stock, which is something I might like.
  14. Not sure of the year, but I saw a Red LGT manual sedan around Rome/Utica NY (near the casino), with some modifications (could only tell by the exhaust, and how quickly he accelerated away, and amost ran into one of those Mercedes Ugly-mobiles they used in Jurassic Park 2). I was in the '07 Spec B You know, the guy who didn't bother racing? Car was barely broken in
  15. Is there a way to trick the Ebrake sensor into thinking it's on? I'd really rather not cut wires.. I guess if there aren't actually any wires cut (if there's another way to break the connection) then I would also like some pictures..
