we would always ride out to canibeat. theres no real activities that we do i mean we have some people that drift and and just some cars that are stances

 

having trouble attaching my HKS Catback to my stock down pipe. do i take off the donut gasket also when i attach it? and which bolts do i get also because the ones i have now won't fit through the given holes

 

donut gasket leave on. Use stock bolts that were there originally. If not high temp ones that are small and long enough.

 

If you cant get the midpipe to seat on the stock downpipe then buy a remflex gasket to fill the gap. Anything less and youll be cursing all the exhaust leaks.
Remflex once and forget about it since they expand.

 

Took off the donut gasket and slapped a normal 3 inch gasket on it and it worked fine. used the stock bolts and it seems like it came together all right. will post pictures later on and also an exhaust clip too

 

sea foamed my car recently and i have an exhaust leak :/ Bummer. anyone have a write up on how to put on the HKS hi power to the stock down pipe with the donut gasket on? i can't seem to get them to fit together

 

Subaru Stock DP>Aftermarket 3 in. Catback Adapter - GrimmSpeed check this out.. its what I am using.

 

You sea foamed a turbo car????

 

Maybe he's planning a turbo/up-pipe/cat upgrade.

 

I agree about slamming, but if that were true about "making the fenders even" then that would mean that all non-USDM WRX's "handle like ****" because we are the only ones that got the massive gap.

On my previous 2003 Sedan, I lowered it enough to lose the gap and even it up, and spent a good amount of time on Thunderhill, Sears and Laguna in this car and never once thought it handled like crap. A friend who is a pro driver also spent a lot of time driving my car at Sears and said it handled great. I dunno, I guess I don't agree.

My 2002 Sedan just got a set of Swifts and an ALK, and though I desperately need to get those Koni's, it handles a lot better, and my front control arms are not even outside of normal limits. My 2002 does have a Cusco rear sway bar, but it's wicked fun on the trips down 84/35/9 I have taken it on so far.

On my '01 RS, I used P1's and AGXs and again, brought it down to even, and it was a blast. My '95 L coupe had JDM STi springs/struts on it which brought it down almost exactly even with the 2001 and it was great.

The only Impreza I have owned that I thought did not handle well was my '98 RS with the Prodrive/Bilstein setup which honestly confused me as I thought it would be awesome. This is the only one that had the control arms - front and rear - at bad angles (in other words, the point at the wheel was slightly higher than the body point). I don't know if this suspension was just jacked as I only had the car for a short time though.

Maybe we are talking about different things.

Holy crap I have had five Imprezas. I owned my '95 L twice. I think that still counts as one car.

 

haven't been on here that much with work and school. just got a new job and i start it soon. haven't really done anything to the car recently. went catless with a stage 2 cobb tune and also took out the cold air intake. waiting for tax returns so i can go out and order a set of coils and also rims and tires so i can start fresh.

 

little exhaust clip from earlier today

 

Quick Update. nothing has really happened to my car recently. recent purchases and also some new tires for my stocks. pics of my new setup will be up soon once i get everything on which is hopefully soon.
also took some clean pictures of my friends AE86
