PeterJMC Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 For some reason that OBXT looks EXTRA tall. Nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomistopheles Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 Yeah, I can't wait to be able to post in the lowered outback thread. My friend Ian did all my front end bushings at his shop last night, attacking the rear bushings and ISC N1 coilovers tomorrow. My black BD has tokico D spec struts, RCE black springs, other suspension mods... so going from that to the blown yacht suspension on the OBXT hasn't been pleasant http://i489.photobucket.com/albums/rr260/TurboThom/A24E1497_zpszwq9qoez.jpg http://i489.photobucket.com/albums/rr260/TurboThom/A24E1500_zpsbu24wwwt.jpg http://i489.photobucket.com/albums/rr260/TurboThom/A24E1507_zpsijsjw2b4.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterJMC Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Those coilover covers are niiice! I should get a set for mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomistopheles Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 Hopefully the covers will help a bit this winter, Wisconsin sure does love their salt, sand, and brine. Coilovers and whiteline rear camber bushing thingies were installed today. Stock height vs now: http://i489.photobucket.com/albums/rr260/TurboThom/A24E0205_zpsaihte6y6.jpg http://i489.photobucket.com/albums/rr260/TurboThom/A24E1553-Edit_zps628th2en.jpg About a 3" drop. 225/55r17 tires on 17x8+35 wheels rubs pretty bad, going to have the fenders massaged to accommodate these and my summer wheels later this week.

rebourne Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Rubbing outside? Front and rear? Even after "massaging" i had outside rubbing on 225/55/17s on stock wheels, especially in right handers. That was with a ton of negative camber too. Went to 225/40/18s, and no more rubbing but i think the tires are too thin. Speedo error is silly. There's a happy medium somewhere in between. Need more camber? pic thread build thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomistopheles Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 Yup, rubs all around on hard bumps but the right rear rubs if you even look at it wrong. I'll get it rolled and then it is going back for final alignment, only at -1 front and rear from last night's quick and dirty alignment. -2 front -1.5 might help a little. These coils can't really go much higher either since they're LGT fitment. I have them set full hard for now, to try and minimize rubbing. These tires are trashed anyway from the old torn bushings and poor alignment, and I need winters... so after I get the fenders rolled I'm going to run 215/55r17 altimax arctics on these wheels. My summers are .5" wider, thinking 225/45r18 for those. Both will have a little bit of speedo inaccuracy but it's within the realm of what I'm OK with and I'll gain a bit of clearance.

Thomistopheles Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 Went in to have an axle back rumble cannon made to go with the avo mid/Y pipe, wound up getting my fenders rolled at the same time. All good now, no rubbing with plenty of room for activities this summer. Going to dial the coils back to 16 clicks, the ride quality was great when I had them set half way (other than the rubbing) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeesQxK65bs Now with 100% more racekor rumbles.

Thomistopheles Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 In car video from last night: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NQDhQFiPXA Correct, Avo mid is resonated. I originally planned on using the mufflers from the nameless axleback the seller included with the Avo midpipe too, but the bent side was beyond repair.

rougeben83 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 The rubbing issue may only be helped with some generous neg camber. Your offset is low enough that there shouldn't be a problem with rear fenderwell clearance as well. Love the color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're trimmed, rolled, and slightly pulled now though... so I have tons of room even with my wider summer setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I originally planned on using the mufflers from the nameless axleback the seller included with the Avo midpipe too, but the bent side was beyond repair. I can't believe how much of a difference that resonator makes! Mine drones horribly on the highway (most likely due to the "wagon effect"). I think come spring I'm going to get a legit resonator installed. You should go cruise through some parking garages in first gear, you'll feel like a little kid again. Also, how do you like the coils for everyday use? I'm kind of shying away from them because cost/not wanting to be THAT low/ride harshness...

Thomistopheles Posted December 4, 2015 Author Share Posted December 4, 2015 Set full stiff they are jarring and uncomfortable, but set around halfway like they are now it's comparable to the aftermarket strut and spring combo on my BD. (tokico D specs and RCE blacks) Height is separate from spring preload, so they still have normal travel and all. Plenty comfortable for me. Those exhaust vids were shot when I still had them full stiff to avoid rubbing, if they look harsh that's why. GoPro mounted on sunroof?Tripod in the back with a Canon 1DmkIV and 24-105 f/4 L IS. Two legs on the rear floor, third extended backwards for stability. XXR 531s came today, but those wont be going on for a while so we will all have to use our imagination until spring.

Sorry to hear that man, losing a long term companion is never easy. 16 years is a pretty good run. http://i489.photobucket.com/albums/rr260/TurboThom/12345456_10205473131854154_3467728803525298183_n_zpsszciij2i.jpg Installed some silly parts from Grimmspeed that don't really do anything in my engine bay.

Thomistopheles Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 Big update... comp stage 2 clutch with lightweight flywheel, FMS fmic kit, VF52 turbo, perrin inlet hose, GS EBCS, catless up pipe, invidia catless downpipe, GS turbo heatshield, all sorts of stuff. Did some logging, sending that off to Cryotune now to get the revision process going. I'm excited. http://i489.photobucket.com/albums/rr260/TurboThom/20151220_150728_zpsa6l2ljum.jpg http://i489.photobucket.com/albums/rr260/TurboThom/20151220_152618_zps6mc1dedv.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomistopheles Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 Didn't need the clutch for the current stock fuel vf52 setup, but if I throw more fuel at it and go with e85 it will come in handy. These things are torque monsters on E. Sounds deeper, a bit louder. Still on base map, so taking it easy and staying out of boost entirely til the tuner says to go harder on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomistopheles Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 Some new goodies are on the way. Ran into typical boost creep issues with the VF52, went ahead and ordered a 38mm Grimmspeed EWG setup. The muffler deletes will be coming off in favor of some HKS ES Premium mufflers. Oh, we finally got some of that sky cocaine. It has been 50°F+ and raining all month here... ridiculous.
