Picked up some parts over the last few days.
Started collecting the rest of the parts for the braking system. Rear DBA 4000 rotors, stop tech stainless lines, Motul brake fluid, and Hawk pads are in. Front pads and front rotors are on order. IMG_9310 by lawrx, on Flickr IMG_9318 by lawrx, on Flickr I also traded some alignments for some exterior parts. Got a TRD wing to replace the stock BRZ spoiler ( THAT I DESPISE) and some sit style side skirts. Fitment on both were great. I also have on order the Cleib Dolphin tail 2.5" SS cutback. Cant wait for that to come in. Thats on a 2 month lead time so still have a ways out on it.

Brakes, brakes, and more brakes.
Front rotors arrived the other day. Fantastic quality, made by Compbrake. The original 1 piece rotors to fit this kit are no longer available, therefore a few companies have made a 2 piece setup to fill the market gap. Only issue with the kit was i was missing the nuts to bolt the disc to the center bell. Once they were in a mocked the kit up on the front as i still qasnt 100% positive they would bolt up. The Bombsquad performance bracket i had replicated out of T6 aluminum vs the original steel worked flawlessly, along with the rest of the components.

Removed the adaptor bracket, removed the pad bolt, the brake line bolt etc. That way they are in a readily state to be installed.

Well car is temporarily down. Thursday coming home when getting off the interstate car developed a severe misfire. Last 3 miles home had blinking CEL and then solid CEL. Ive determined it to be what I believe a bad coil pack. Cars never een tracked and I rarely beat on it enough to build up substantial heat in the engine bay. In the process of testing to figure out the issue I killed my Braille battery. Showing 12v but won't crank the car over. Wondering if that may have also contributed to the issue. Will find out soon enough when the new parts get here.
IMG_9476 by lawrx, on Flickr IMG_9584 by lawrx, on Flickr IMG_9596 by lawrx, on Flickr With the car down I decided to take advantage and get a few things done I needed to. Pulled the Volks off and washed them up, installed the new authentication stickers, and going to get them ceramic coated. Also fixed the EDFC wiring that got damaged from not having the strut stoppers installed. Also installed the stut stoppers so I could finally hook up the EDFC. Once cars back up and running she should be good to go.

I have the exact same wheels. Dropped 7 lb per wheel over stock. Is that a powder coat finish?

Alright so coilpack wasnt the issue. Spoke to a few locals and figured it to be the DI injectors. Earlier this week i disassembled it, pulled everything out. Cylinder 3 is what the code came back as......And it had the best looking seal, which kind of baffles me but ya know what if seals fix the issue fantatsic.

Front rotors needed to be assembled as well. Wanted to make sure i had every component that i needed on hand and ready to go.

Just an update. Cars is still at the dealer. They are still diagnosing. In the mean time i did a widebody install on a local twin, had some money burning a hole in my pocket and ordered a few parts. Exedy Chromoly lightweight flywheel, Exedy OE replacement clutch, and an IRP short shifter. Now all i need to do is drop my trans off at my local shop abd get the new carbon syncrhos put in. So current list of parts to install when i get the car back now consist of. -Prodrive BBK -Cleib catback (suppose to be stateside early May) -IRP Short Shifter -Trans with Carbon Synchros -Exedy Chrom. Flywheel -Exedy OE clutch -Defi STI Genome Oil pressure gauge Should drop about 30lbs with those parts. |

Also just read through the whole thread, unfortunate to get to the end and find out the car is off the road but I'm sure it'll be up and running soon enough!
Beautiful car and wonderful photography throughout, very nice work! Last edited by 86_dave; 05-08-2018 at 05:23 AM. |

Got an update from the technician over at Subaru. They verified coilpack, spark plug, and injectors. They found an issue with the injector control module. They changed it and it ran over ok for a few minutes, however issue still persist. The claim has been escalated up to get an Subaru engineer involved. They are thinking some form of Voltage issue. Due to the amperage the Di injectors run the tech is unable to check it. So at this current point in time we are simply awaiting to see what the Engineer finds and go from there. |
