...the wheels on the car go round and round
ARP studs aren't cheap so I figured I would press them into new hubs/bearings instead of into 85k old ones...
mmmm.. made in Japan. IMG_0398 by Rice Classic, on Flickr IMG_0400 by Rice Classic, on Flickr IMG_0401 by Rice Classic, on Flickr It was easy to use the old rotor to help with the press - but I needed to clean up the opening so the new hub didn't get wedged in there. IMG_0404 by Rice Classic, on Flickr IMG_0405 by Rice Classic, on Flickr IMG_0406 by Rice Classic, on Flickr Time to do the rears! Uh oh.. these are NOT made in Japan. That primarily only impacts my OCD. IMG_0408 by Rice Classic, on Flickr Removing the old front hubs... They did NOT come out easy. IMG_0410 by Rice Classic, on Flickr A couple swings of the hammer were not on target. IMG_0411 by Rice Classic, on Flickr Installed with APR brake duct adapters. IMG_0412 by Rice Classic, on Flickr I didn't like how my ball joint was exposed so I modified the OEM heat-shield to keep the lower joint protected. IMG_0415 by Rice Classic, on Flickr Unfortunately when I did the other side.. I CUT THE HEAT SHIELD ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE MOUNTING HOLE!!! Anyone have a spare driver side heat shield they want to send me? (please?!) IMG_0419 by Rice Classic, on Flickr Time to put in the new pads.. Raybestos ST47 (I'm told these go to "11").

But now I'm stuck on brake duct hoses...
So I 'm stuck at the brake ducts..
Apparently the APR Brake hose routing wants the ducts to go where my oil cooler lines are and that just ain't gonna work. I also can't remove the washer bottle either because the rules don't allow it. I don't want to run the ducts under the car either so I'm really out of options here. I'm very interested in running brake ducts but not sure how to make this work! Passenger side opening.. Just enough room. IMG_0423 by Rice Classic, on Flickr Driver side room.. Nowhere near enough room. IMG_0420 by Rice Classic, on Flickr IMG_0422 by Rice Classic, on Flickr Thoughts?

I don't have a good answer on what to do about the brake ducts, but if you send me a PM I'll dig in my garage tomorrow after work and find the heat shields I took off when I put on my AP Sprint kit. I should still have them and I'd be happy to mail them to you if I can find them.

Vibrant performance washer bottle. You would have to make it work but it is tiny compared to the stock one. I have one in my turbo stuff somewhere in storage.
http://vibrantperformance.com/catalo...Path=1022_1249 Ptuning also sells a kit. They are designed so that an intercooler will fit in there. |

Hey nice thread so far! I was in your same position with the brake ducts a few years ago. My solution was to send back the APR kit and buy the Verus brake cooling kit. The Verus kit has a feature that sandwiches the air from the fog light opening, through the fender liner and into the center of the rotor.
Also, I ditched the backing plates. Mine is 95% track car tho. If Tristor doesn't have a backing plate to ship you, I believe I still have mine. But if you decide to go with the Verus kit, you won't need them, as they come with stainless ones. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...&postcount=164

I have the PTuning one. I believe though SCCA rules don't allow modifying this component at all, so I don't think he can use either of these. |

Are you allowed to cut THROUGH your washer bottle?
You can also go *around* it, although not ideal. |

SCCA rules = “If it doesn’t say you CAN, then you CANNOT.”
However I'm going to invoke the Roffle(sp?) Corollary which suggests "If if says you CAN then you bloody well CAN."

Damn these rules!
So the good news is that I found a UK shop on Ebay that could get me B14s before the race season started - nobody state side was expecting anything until late April!
The downside is that I didn't plan on the spring seats being incompatible with the springs the rules require me to run. The Eibach Sport Plus springs required by the rules are designed for OEM type spring seats and not the small diameter seats that come with the b14s. Thankfully the upper perches I bought fit the eibachs perfect. IMG_0434 by Rice Classic, on Flickr The Eibach springs on the them: IMG_0435 by Rice Classic, on Flickr IMG_0437 by Rice Classic, on Flickr Looks like I may need custom seats (or are they called perches?) made to mate these springs up to these shocks. Anyone know if an easy-button exists to solve this riddle?

Hack and cut and grind and hope
It was time to bust out the grinding wheel to utilize the OEM perches so I can use the springs the rules dictate.
IMG_0458 by Rice Classic, on Flickr IMG_0460 by Rice Classic, on Flickr Just to be clear - I did grind the collar seat on the OEM perch to be both flat and smooth before seating it on the new shocks. IMG_0464 by Rice Classic, on Flickr With the Raceseng Cascam items on top: IMG_0465 by Rice Classic, on Flickr Finally installed! IMG_0468 by Rice Classic, on Flickr

Valve spring recall is causing what!?
Since I'm one of the folks who had the valve spring recall done, I'm now crazy paranoid. I've only driven it from the dealer to my house at this point so I don't know if things are gonna go kaboom or not.
With that said - I figured I'd remove the pan and inspect. Holy Hell! The pan was hard to get off they used SO much sealant from the factory I had to take a metal putty knife and hammer around the seam to break the stuff free as there were no good pry points along the pan. I'm so used to my Hondas which used Oil Pan gaskets instead. IMG_0451 by Rice Classic, on Flickr IMG_0452 by Rice Classic, on Flickr Now, notice how the sealant is gray.. That's the same with the sealant the Toyota dealer used during the valve spring recall work. However when pulled the strainer off - there was sealant stuck in the screen what was black. IMG_0448 by Rice Classic, on Flickr IMG_0449 by Rice Classic, on Flickr IMG_0453 by Rice Classic, on Flickr Not all that excited about this discovery, but I am glad I found it.
