I'm bailing out too, going to sell the OBXT.
So I have a set of unopened parts needed to install the BTS kit.
the spec-B front tops, the dust caps, the rear boots & tops.
Anyone want them? was around $200 for it all, make me an offer.
Just got a quote for 10 BTS-5056J kits from Fuzzy at OOPARTS. $17,109.56 total shipping & handling included. That's steep! $1,710 per person! I was hoping for less.
rB5 has anyone ordered those Bilstiens from Germany yet to see the length etc? So to clarify we're hoping these are a ride height within 1" of stock outback height, but we'll need a spring solution? What about getting the Germany spec Subaru outback springs? VE3-B830 and VE3-B831 Sport. Rear: BE5-B832
I just got an email back from fuzzy.oda@ooparts-international.co.jp He's quoting me for one BTS-5056J, and I've asked him to gie me a price on getting 10 kits. Fuzzy [sales Manager / Internaional Sales Force] OOPARTS International, Inc. http://www.ooparts-international.co.jp
I am super super, 4 real interested. How interested? Well I've already ordered and have in my garage the rest of the parts needed to make this happen. With that in mind I only want the BTS-5056J package. I've been emailing Hirano-tire, NO RESPONSE! I don't want to have to end up paying $2k to Japan parts.
I've actually been emailing back and forth with AVO... trying to get them to import the kit.
I read this and couldn't sleep last night!!!!!!
my OBXT has 70k on it' a stock VF40.
What are the warning signs? Or does it just grenade?
Do I need to buy a VF52 or AVO380 preemptively?
I HS/College I had a 1987 Thunderbird turbo coupe stock turbo was still working at 156,000 when I sold it.
I just sold my 2005 RX-8 and bought a used 2005 Outback XT 5-speed to replace my 98 outback with 246,000 miles.
