'99 Subaru GC8 RX Impreza

[Smeeeb]

fuck yeah,

that rake but.

[SebastienPeek]

Here we go.

Rears rolled, almost perfect tyre, fender, lip going on, soon. Need another little bit of negative camber at the rear and then we'll be perfect.

Figured it was finally time to put one of my S|W windshield stickers on.

Air bags won't go off unless I try driving stupidly low without relocating them.

Hah, you're right. Just forgot your subie sits on bags
But I keep them crossed anyway

[SebastienPeek]

[Manyu]

The last two full car shots...
I lost it man.

Full car pics of it aired out please

[SebastienPeek]

Air bags won't go off unless I try driving stupidly low without relocating them.

Rolled the rear guards. I am so excited. A little self flaring and a degree more of negative camber and we'll have it perfected I reckon.

I'll try and grab some photos tomorrow morning before work of how it now looks, ride height and parked.

[ape101]

I'm not sure about this...

nah just kidding. Looks so good now
I keep my fingers crossed for you, that your air bags don't set off in the meantime.

[FunfGang]

This is just swell.

[SebastienPeek]

So, I got the rears fitted up.

Then I went for a drive with mates and hard parked.

Still need to fix up the rears a little when it comes to tyre rubbing, need to relocate my wires for the air bag sensors up front so the tyre doesn't scrub it and set off an air bag, next is fixing up minor air leak in the rear and then we're finished.

Might add a front lip, I'm not sure yet. We'll see what happens.

This car looks like it just rolled off the assembly line.

Without suspension.

Keep it up.

Ahaha thanks man, definitely gave me a laugh!

Pssshh, who needs suspension?

Not me. It's damn stiff. So good to be driving a low car again.

Photos tomorrow of the hard parking I did last night.
Suffice to say, the car is almost finished and I'm so happy with how it is looking.

Can't wait for the next little S|W meet here in little old Adelaide.

Keep it up.

[SebastienPeek]

Thanks man!

To those that are interested, I discovered a little bit more about my car tonight. First, it can fit 16x9's under the front guards without any guard work.
Secondly, the position of the strut tower in junction with the wheel is different at the front and rear. By that I mean the strut tower is closer to the outside of the car at the rear, therefore causing my barrel to hit the strut tower at the rear.

However, the fronts have the exact same barrel and there is a good inch before it would hit the strut tower.

Anyway, everyone loves photos, right?

Poor lighting, so will get some tomorrow when it has hopefully stopped raining.

[RatJack]

Loving it Seb!

[SebastienPeek]

Went for a bit of a wash last night and terrorised the streets of little ol' Adelaide.

Soapy.

Sparkly.

IMG_0100 by sebastienpeek, on Flickr

More sparkle.

And a taillight shot. So clean.

Oh, and this is where my rear diff sits.

Getting the correct nuts for the RS's today at some point so they will go on for this weekends shenanigans. Fixed up the front air leaks, max camber at the front too now. Fixing the rears tonight and maxing out the camber there too.

Adjusted dampening to the softest setting it can go all around, forgot to mount one adjuster and it fell off while driving

Anyway, hopefully the RS's are on for this weekend. May need slip on spacers all around, 3/4mm ones for the front, 2/3mm ones for the rear. Blergh.
