I'll just add to this thread, looking at clutches. Does anyone have any recommendations? I don't plan on making anything over 400 whp for a while. Would like to make around 500 in the future. This is not a daily driven car and I plan to road course it as often as I can. I am not looking for comfort or easy to drive, I am looking for lasting function that won't break. I don't like launching the shit out of it or banging gears either so don't worry about that.
Looking for 6/4/?? Puck and a reliable brand. Thanks!
So I did my brakes this weekend. Got new SS lines installed, Brand new DBA 4000 rotors (slotted), and Carbotech AX6 pads. speed bleeders, bled the brakes properly.
Took it out, beded the brakes, after the 6th slowdown, started to feel the vibration in the front end again.... So irritated by this. It HAS to be something else.. The quest continues... *sigh*
I'm still thinking LCA bushings, but that's mostly because that was exactly my issue, lol.
I just re did all of those.... I'm starting to think something with the ABS might be doing it. Is there supposed to be a fuse under the label marked "ABS" in the fuse box? because mine is just an empty hold lol.
I have had everyone tell me over and over that is either:
1. uneven pad wear
2. un proper wheel bolting technique
3. everything else under the sun.
I just got brand new pads and DBA 4000 Rotors and F$%^ them up instantly while trying to bed them? That's BS, I scrubbed the hubs, star pattern'd the wheels, torqued by hand and bed-ed them properly. I think I'm just going to replace both front hubs, do the steering rack and bushing. Maybe the steering is allowing to much play under hard braking?
I had play from the tie rod ends (inner & outer) that allowed vibration under braking.
I also had an issue with my aftermarket wheels and not having hub centric rings installed. No matter how hard I tried the wheel would be slightly off center and vibrate. Do you have stock wheels or aftermarket?
Aftermarket, 5Zigen fn0rc1's (or w/e they are), now that you bring that up, I wonder.... They dont have a flat surface around the whole hub. The center I am not sure of though. I know what you're reffering to with the rings, I had them on my STi when I got aftermarket wheels.
I have been contemplating getting a new set. Does anyone have any complaints about the Enkei RPF1's?
SOOOOO, I just went and bought these..............................
I remember having these on the wheels I got for my STi... God damn it if that has been the problem the whole time I'm going to be so mad...
Hey, at least you'll know that a lot of your suspension is new
