thank you, ya it sure is pretty rare to find one like this stock and now with all this stuff its just got crazy for sure lol

[Nico Leone]

so this is a rear 1986 Subaru control arm, when adding wide wheels with low offsets like Subaru loves it can rub on the rear arm on this old car.



here you can see how much room i have to play if I put on a 17x7.5JJ ET53 stock subaru wheels that can fit Brembo brakes, also the front is not like this its normal Subaru style up front on this car so any wheel is ok






so what have I come up with ! simple easy is flip the arm around to the other side ! looks like the little Leone can put the rubber down to the ground now, 225/45/17 and i could use STi Brembo brakes now for the extra stopping power.





Hey !!!!! why stop there ???? Lol... lets pull out a STi 22B BBS wheel and see if we can add the monster wheels on the Leone so 235/40/17 17x8.5JJ ET48 even fits !! guess its time to show some people how its done on the track this year !








now i am really excited to pull the car out and see if this all works out perfect.

reversing the arm will probably do the job fine but won't it be easier to bend?
Anyway it'll work thats the point!!!!!

those rims are

i will just leave it stock and use 16" rims, ill try for wider tires in the summer



















well spring is near they say, but lets get real its still going to snow like today lol, so in the mail today some new toys have come in.

5x100 16x7 et46 Volk GramLights 57s.... good for maybe 225/50/16 I hope I can make it fit with out rubbing.

Borg Warner AirWerks S300SX FMW 0.91 A/R (maximum spool) dividided twin scroll.

[Nico Leone]

pretty crazy how the STi magnesium valve covers are so dark inside




also need add a air port fitting for the s300sx it was same for my s200sx, ill add it where that top bump with numbers are on top left corner.

well today was a perfect day to pull it out and start the work on the car, lots of rain wash the salt away so why not bring the car home.

my new black wheels that are so black i cant get a good pic of them lol

GC8 VOLK Rays STi 5x100 16x7 ET 53 with the proper stickers for how ever long they last lol.










also i was going to use these on my Legacy EG33 build, but ill use them here first. Whitline KSB751 will reduce rear-end float particularly under acceleration... why not fits like a glove lol

made for the new style subaru 1989 to 2007, subaru sure does love re using something that works well over many years.

holy...i shitted my pants when i saw the the size of that turbo compared to the 4 pots calipers

[mecanofred]

think i found my 17" wheels ?????? by my calculator calculations it looks like they will fit. that means i have to get a set of STi Brembos up front.

if they don't fit guess ill have to put them for sale

i'm sorry they sold all ready

holy...i shitted my pants when i saw the the size of that turbo compared to the 4 pots calipers

LOL... the turbo all most didnt fit in the car 3mm of space to the shock tower.














well the new BW s300sx FMW fits and is in, along with the JDM STi magnesium valve covers.

also had to take the timing belt off and pulleys so I could get to the oil feed line for the AVCS and get the screens out !.. pain in the butt but i had to get it done.

good thing I have room still for the 4" cone aem filter and set up for this turbo.

I had also changed the vacuum lines for the dual wastegates to hi temp silicone to handle the heat stress in that area.

just need to wait for the turbo pipe I ordered so I can complete it all.











and the new brakes set up with stainless steel pistons better for heat transfer on the fluid

[Nico Leone]

Ver 2 turbo pipes all made simple and silicone, with the fancy clamps. soon its time to tune this craziness.

[Elbowsraper]

So much entertaining to look at your tread thanks a lot for that.
Keep up the good work.
