  1. DeleriousZ, Can you tell me if your outback still has the 1" spacer on it for the engine crossmember even though the car is lowered? Or possibly measure how far below your STi TMIC sits below the hood line? I feel like my TMIC sits higher when looking at some photos of your engine bay and I want to figure out what the difference is to create the space. I just don't want the top mount rattling against the hood. Thanks! And your car is sweet BTW. Ben
  2. You appear to be breaking the law... Jk, that is a sweet pic. Perfect stance just needs a complete STi swap and Baja hood. Car looks awesome. Ben
  3. How the hell did I miss this? DAMMIT!! Ben
  4. MRLancaster, What lip do you have on your car? I like the new paint! Ben
  5. Unfortunately it will not be a straight forward affair. It can be done with very minor machining. So this is definitely an option if someone wants to machine the tribeca hub down. Just FYI this is the rears only, not sure on the fronts. I think that will be less straight forward and may require something like an 05+ front STI hub machined for the GT strut mount. I did my best to take accurate measurements but they are not professional so take it as you will. There should be no concern with weakening the tribeca hub as it is only about a 1.4mm difference in total diameter: Legacy bearing:39.59mm Tribeca bearing:40.97mm So in reality you'd only turn them down slightly to make them slip in. The actual distance from the hub face to the back of the bearing APPEARS to be the same if not very close, likely not enough to matter in terms of rotors and brake mounting. http://i756.photobucket.com/albums/xx207/whitemagicbmc/hub%20measurements/DSC00258.jpg http://i756.photobucket.com/albums/xx207/whitemagicbmc/hub%20measurements/DSC00259.jpg http://i756.photobucket.com/albums/xx207/whitemagicbmc/hub%20measurements/DSC00260.jpg http://i756.photobucket.com/albums/xx207/whitemagicbmc/hub%20measurements/DSC00261.jpg http://i756.photobucket.com/albums/xx207/whitemagicbmc/hub%20measurements/DSC00262.jpg http://i756.photobucket.com/albums/xx207/whitemagicbmc/hub%20measurements/DSC00264.jpg Looks like my STi backing plate idea won't work either. Not enough material to weld and re-drill the holes. http://i756.photobucket.com/albums/xx207/whitemagicbmc/hub%20measurements/DSC00268.jpg Ben
  6. Nice, thanks for the info. I was looking at it but the only setup I saw on ebay was $800. I can get a way better system for that kind of money. I think I'll just stay OEM. I am going to get the "upgraded" poly cone setup for $60 since what I have now is just the AM/FM stock radio and only two front door speakers. Should be a big improvement. Ben
  7. caschmidt, Your car looks nice. Where did you source that McIntosh head unit? Do you have the full speaker set up? How does it sound? Thanks! Ben
  8. I haven't forgotten about this, I just haven't had time to go pick up the parts. I will for sure pick them up by this friday and take measurements this weekend. Ben
  9. well we will see what I can come up with. I just ordered a legacy rear bearing and a tribeca rear hub to take measurements and see what can be done since other people are slacking. I am impatient and want to get answers, if I never checked then I would wonder forever if it could have been done. So hopefully tuesday of next week we will have more info and measurements. Ben
  10. You used a rear 05 STi bearing? How is that, they did not change to rear bolt ins until 08. the 05 fronts were bolt in but the rears were not. I am confused. Do you have a bearing handy to take a measurement of the hub diameter by chance? thanks! Ben
  11. I guess the better question Antho303T is did you use a 08+ rear bearing/hub? If so would the 04-07 rear backing plate work with a STOCK BE rear wheel bearing? The bolt pattern looks similar. That is what I'm trying to determine. Thanks! Ben
  12. Antho303T, Do you speak english? I'm curious if you could better explain it over the phone rather than type it. If so do you have a number I can call you at. I am planning to try and put a STi backing plate onto my BE. Are you saying the bolt pattern is different than the stock BE rear wheel bearing bolt pattern and it needs to be re-drilled? Thanks! Ben
  13. I believe the bolt spacing on the actual front knuckle is different for the strut to attach(at least it is different compared to a 2008 impreza I believe). The solution would be to run STi struts in the front with BL/BP tophats I think but this is speculation on my part but I think correct. If someone wants to measure their bolt spacing on their GT knuckle I can measure the GR one and see if there is a difference. Ben
  14. The easier method that I may have discovered is to just get a 08+ rear subframe. The bolt points to the car look identical from the pictures. I'm going to get some measurements on a 2009 STi subframe I have then try and measure my car. The issue is the track width for the GR Sti is 60.2", my BE is 57.3" Does anyone know how this is changed? As in do you think the actual strut mount location is different or is it just longer lateral links to position the hub farther out? If the strut mount locations are different then I assume its a no go. Ben
  15. Apparently no one cares about this anymore? I found this, the confusing thing is if you look at the measurements, they list inches and millimeters, if you go off the inches, some dimensions are extremely close to the same but I am not sure what each dimension is or if its even what we want. The millimeters they list after the inches does not always match. Maybe I'll contact them and ask about that. The bad thing is that this is claiming the tribeca rear is 27 spline so would need to find out if a STi axle will work. Ben
