Jerry DeMoss Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Wow that is going to be a monster! I don't think power will be an issue with that engine to turn some big tires! I do like those lift blocks in there with that gold anodized look. Good job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uberoo Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 so if I get this straight you took the 5 lug setup of the coupe,put it on the wagon,then lifted the wagon,then you sourced a ej20 tt for the wagon.then you are going to find an DR AWD box?

Pretty much. except ill be going the 4.44 auto box with a centre diff lock. Could not find a manual box that would do what i wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarutex Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 What lift is that? How tall is it? Who do I need to contact to get one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatz Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 What lift is that? How tall is it? Who do I need to contact to get one? Its a ri-rise 6" lift. Not sure who to contact in the states. This one is from Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatz Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 Ok fellas, Just finished the lift. Tis rather big put it all together to find out the gtb brakes i have are too large for my rims So i temporarily have put in the hubs with Lib brake setup. No real dramas tonight. Big of strut tower bashin and filing. nothing unexpected though. I snapped up a couple of pics, nothing too interesting as my shed is now full of **** and i cant move:P Also its about 0 degrees out there and becoming unpleasant. Anyhow, here are a couple of pics. Dont know how high she sits, dont have a tape, but i can tell u with the nankangs on, i can have a jack stands at full ext and still about 4cm from the body. Enjoy. The process of swapping hubs over. Turned out to be a waste of time! Some incentive to finish quickly. Need to get rid of this tab in order to place blocks on top. All gone.

Fatz Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 Top hat. Newer rubber. Some free space. Clearance Hrmm. Quick shot from rear door. Doesn't justify how big it really is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarutex Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Fatz... thanks for the info on the lift kit. I'm attempting to contact Hi-Rise and see if they'll ship to the US. Also, can you explain what parts you used to do your 5 lug in the rear. I am under the impression that you guys didn't get the XT6 over there, which is how we go about 5 lugging the L series cars here... More specifically I'm interested in if you have legacy/impreza style brakes fitted to the rear, and if so how you did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phizinza Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 I think Fatz is using this kit http://crossbredperformance.com/ Worth something like $1200AUD.. XT6 stuff still seems cheaper even once imported. Although a little hard to come by I think.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunatelly Gee recently announced he will no longer be making the kits, as its just not cost effective anymore. I've sent email off to him to see about getting the design of the adapter plate, and what mods need to be made to the backing plate so I can do a small run here stateside for the couple of us that are interested in bigger brakes in the rear. It will be really sad if all those great ideas just dissapear because he doesn't think their is enough money in it :-\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joostvdw Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I foresee some mad fender flares in your future :cool: any idea how this will effect your wheelbearing lifespan? or is the offset still stock, but with wider tires? (don't think so by the looks of it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
