Well here is the big thing. If your looking to run a 30r UR doesnt offer a TS kit for you. And between getting the Full-race kit, and the UR kit, the prices are pretty close together, and the quality of the pieces are much better w/ the full race (i've seen both kits up close). Granted i had some fitment issues, but all these things can be worked out. NOTHING is ever perfect.

Scby, im going to stop looking at my journal. You can continue answering all the questions. Your doing a great job so far =)

Boosted, i wont be running meth, but c16 is a definite. I would love to see what the car puts down on both pump and c16, but first i need a clutch because i can guarentee the car wont make a few pulls on the dyno on pump. With meth it'll slip BAD on the first pull. With the 12 psi spring i have hardly any surge w/ mid and full throttle driving when i'd let off the gas. With the 11psi spring, I was having idle and stalling issues because the thing would still open up once the car stopped. The 12 psi spring fixed that issue for me.

Not sure on the clutch right now.

Money is a little tight right now between the cosworth mani, new exhaust, new headunit, and rushing my new AR15 before obama gets sworn in.

Its winter time so as much as everyone things im nuts for not driving a subie in the winter, i wont be driving her much more until the spring so i have time. If money allows, carbonetics will be the way to go for me. They make awesome clutches, and i know a few 500-1000 hp guys who LOVE them. If money is tight or i need to get a clutch RIGHT NOW, i'll either be going w/ a ACT 6-puck sprung w/ streetlite flywheel or an exedy Twin.

Yeah, if you have all winter and sell your wheels, the carbonetic would def be the way to go. Dasani in huston is using one with no problems and is as soft as the stock one.

I hear ya about money right now though, and the ar15 ! lol

Exclamation Re: Greg's 2006 SGM STI (11/11): Cosworth Intake Manifold and Other Goodies Ordered

Very nice set up, I just read through the entire thread. Challenges are part of every big build. It will be so very worth it in the end. It is very nice to see first person experience with the Fullrace kit. I think they make great stuff, but first person experience seems to be very limited and everyone just says "their hella awesome". Good luck with any/all the issues, I am deff subscribing to this thread.

Ps. Keep us updated on the Cosi manifold

How much rear fender rolling did you have to do to make these wheels and tires fit?

I rolled the fronts, but didnt need to, would have fit without touching them. as for the rears,

That small metal lip on the 05-07's I shaved off w/ a dremmel (about 4mm worth of metal on the lip. Then i simply took a hammer and hit out the inside of the fender a bit which pushed it out a few more mm's. I did nowhere near the amount of fender mods a lot of the nasioc guys did who run crazy large and low offsets. shaving the little metal lip and hitting the inside of the fender w/ a hammer + a simple set of ingalls camber plates for the rear is all ya need.
