I kinda like this:

 

OH DAMN!!!! That is so sweet. You would be my hero...

 

Nice car Marc, black outbacks are sexy!

Teh outback is FastaH!!

 

Yeah, drums in rear. I looked into converting to disks in the back, but it's a pain. The drums work fine and grip well enough for normal driving. The only issue with them is in shedding heat after a lot of repeated hard stops, and that you can't visually check the pads. I completely toasted a set of Porterfield R4-S's - they looked fine, but chunks came off when I pulled the shoe out. That was after about 6 track days though. The fronts were worn, but maintained their integrity. I think they'd actually gotten hotter, but cooled off a lot sooner and didn't sit around baking inside a dutch oven like the rears.

Anyway, for normal driving (including rallycrossing), I wear out the fronts about twice as fast as the rears. I'm on a different set of R4-S's now and they're holding up just fine since I stopped tracking it.


I've considered doing a brake conversion on it. I've also considered swapping in a Legacy LSD. If I ever decide to convert this to a rallycar I'll probably do both.

 

Update:

I just put in an RS shifter. It's a full 1 1/2" shorter height wise and it's probably 20% shorter throw. Nice... feels "sporty". :P

I am considering doing a front WRX brake conversion. That definitely means I have to put 16's on. Maybe doing an RS brake swap would mean I can still keep my 15's.

Hoche, what are your mods again?

...and I have a Stromung exhaust lying around that I bought last year and never got around to installing because I thought it might tank my torque.

Gotta look into that mod. Thanks for the reply.
