http://forum.liberty.asn.au/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=36711 I took some photos of the tips on a sedan and wagon 3.0r spec.b. I think these will be very similar (if not the same) and standard legacy gt mufflers and tips?

DBA43050S-10 are 340x30mm, same height as normal subaru 5x100 rotors and dual stud pattern (5x100 + 5x114). Can you guys get them in the US? I reckon it could be done even with bolting the ATS caliper in the normal spot. You MAY need to grind some of the inside of the caliper out and I'm not sure there woud be much of a benefit anyway? I would look pretty sweet thats about it haha. I ended up just sticking with 326mm rotors, they'll be plenty to get me through the macca's drive through!

hey guys, has anyone here looked at using 340mm sti rotors with the ats brembo's? I drew up the parts in 3D and the 340mm rotor looks like it would use up more of the pads (zero overhang).

Mine is very similar to that video, but without the weird sound.

Hi guys, I have been driving my SpecB 3.0r 6mt converted wagon for a while now without issue but when I change gears (especially when driving hard) the engine's revs seem to 'hang' for a brief period before dropping. I can usually be in the next gear and ready to release the clutch before the revs have dropped to a reasonable or matched level, which can be annoying as it jerks the car around. Has anybody experienced this? I have always wondered if it is related to the C15 auto/man ID wire and pin C14. I originally connected C15 to C14 bt this caused a short ciruit error. So I connected C15 to a chassis ground point, no errors, off I went. I just tried disconnecting the C15 wire from the chassis and notice zero difference to how to car/engine behaves. I would have thought something would change?? FYI all of my conversion parts were from a 2007 specB, 3.0r 6mt car. So the ECU is correct. I did not do the full dash wiring loom swap too, I simply added the necessary wires and bypassed the inhibitors etc. See my post here for what I did: https://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6013425&postcount=2469

Anybody had any luck with these yet? Also does anyone know what thread the front caliper hose/line takes?

Anybody had any luck with these yet? I have been side tracked with a few other projects but was looking into master cylinders the other night. It sounds as though we would need to chance to a 1 1/16" STI master cylinder?

Hey Neal have you had your set running on your car at all or waiting to use the production parts?

Hey guys, I was toying with the idea of modifying the 17Z caliper to a radial mount style, or even redrilling the axial mount holes. Looks like these guys are already doing it for porsches: https://www.goingsuperfast.com/Brake.html

Hey Rcnesneg awesome work with the auto ecu and evtv thing! How does it drive? I wonder how much the ecu maps are different between auto and manual ecu's? My manual 3.0r ecu is a little annoying when changing gears. If you give it some stick, I can pretty much change into the next gear and be ready to let the clutch out, before the engine starts to drop in revs. So the engine is always at a much higher RPM than the next gear (when driving hard..) . I've even heard the tyres chirp and traction light come on when hardshifting

Does anyone here know if the Big Red seal kits are any good? I've never heard of them and genuine kits are looking hard (and expensive) to get.. Cheers

Hey guys small update. After a number of issues where I had to restart the nexus, something made me think about the power turning on-off-on when starting the engine and if this screwed up the nexus. I changed the power supply from the 12v accessory plug in the console to the "headlight washer" which is on during starting and normal running, off when the key is on the first click. So far this is working great, no issues, fingers crossed it keeps going! You'll have to check which fuse this is on your cars or check with a voltmeter. Goodluck!

Cheers Neal, i only wondered as I measured up a gen4 front hub and my cad model looks a bit different to yours. Tempted to go 340mm rotor and redrill the holes in the caliper. I'd move them closer together, then have an adapter bracket etc.

Does anybody know if you can squeeze 340mm diameter rotors into 17Z calipers? DBA 43050 are 340mm, 5x100 and 5x112, same as 326mm STI rotors but bigger. Might help with adapting these caliper to the stock hubs by spacing the caliper out a litte further.

Hey Neal Cassidy how thick a spacer were you thinking you will need? I've been looking into this using legacy 18x7" +55 wheels and it looks like it will need around 1" of spacing to stop the caliper hitting the wheel. Not looking good for me at the moment, hopefully I have measured something wrong! Edit: Well I didn't measure anything wrong, looks like those wheels DO need a spacer around 25mm thick for normal STI brembo's. Damn it!
