'99 Subaru GC8 RX Impreza

Gotta save all the pennies. It isn't cheap that is for sure.

I know it man. I'd love to do airrex struts with e-level but I'm looking at over 4k US. That's a helluva lot of pennies. I'm probably going to settle on UAS aero sport bags and paddles then maybe upgrade later.

Gorgeous. Ugh, I'm ****** you for the fact that you're on air and I'm not. Gotta save my pennies.

Favourite photo of the Subaru at the moment.

I think you did a great job pulling those fenders, looks really clean and so does the Subie! Did you ever end up making the boot floors or left the carpet as your final result?

Thanks mate!

I haven't made the floorboards for the boot yet but that is definitely something I want to do. At the moment I'm just focused on getting the front lower and spaced out to match the rear fitment.

I think it sits beautifully as it is now. Props man.

Thanks man!

Bah, after saying I was giving up on the pulling of the rear guards, I couldn't bring myself to actually give up.

So I went out and did it. This is how it turned out.

Didn't get a close up of the right rear, but it is exactly the same as the left rear which I'm pretty chuffed about. The only thing from keeping it from getting some fender to lip action is the tyre itself is hitting up inside the guard now. Only way to do fix is run lower profile or mini tub the rear.

Had a bit of an issue last night.

Blew the main fuse. Checked it, was only 50amp. So I redid all my wiring from the battery to the compressor relays/ECU. It now goes like this.

4 gauge wiring with inline 100 amp fuse, goes from battery to 2x60amp circuit breaker which then goes to individual compressors as well as one is paired with the ECU. 8 gauge wire between the circuit breaker to the compressor relays.

Now we're all good. Giving up on pulling the guards at the rear. They're just going to sit how they sit now and that's that. Just need to get the front sitting better and then I'll be happy with how it sits. If only I didn't have to run 8mm spacers at the rear and only a 5mm, then it would sit perfectly, which annoys me so badly.

Seriously considering forking out some cash to get some Rotiform Nue's. I know they're played out, but for some reason I just want to run them as a daily wheel, and then have the RS's on when I want to. We'll see what I can do.

Oh, and I figured out how to three wheel on flat ground, woot!

Got one side almost done tonight but then my main fuse blew, so off to SCA tomorrow morning to get another 70amp fuse so I can continue with pulling them little by little.

My ECU was going weird while doing it. Not sure if I'm outputting too much from my battery or too little, will have to make sure I watch what the controller does next time before it kills itself again, which will probably happen.

Slowly getting there though, it was very close to slipping over before I couldn't air back down to pull it that last little bit. Mum's cooking magazines work a treat though!

[CrackerTeg]

Should be easy for you to do since you're on air. Just air down slowly and constantly check it. You'll be fine.

I hear ya. I figured mine out a long time ago haha. Good to keep them under wraps !

Yep! I'm thinking they're low 30's/high 20's but not sure yet.

Pull that shit! lol Really starting to like GC's because of this.

Glad I have made you like the GC's! I'll be pulling them a little tonight. I wanted to keep it as stock looking as possible, but just going to have to do it.
