| Junior STI Driver Feedback Score: 0 reviews | This is in reference to this thread: http://www.imprezawrxsti.com/postnuk...wtopic&t=11904 Materials needed 1- m16x1.5x20mm bolt 2- 15mm in diameter washers (check this diameter the washers should fit inside mastercylinder they should be 1/2 I believe) brake fluid 1.) remove the safety clip from clutch actuating arm between accelerator pedal and the tranny tunnel. 2.) remove pin from clutch actuating arm, it has a safety on it so you have to use a needle nose and squeeze the end and pull it half way out. Then push arm to the other direction to butt it up to the other side of the of the master cylinder actuating arm. If you get the pin stuck inside push it back in and start over again. This will make more sense when you look at it. 3.) remove intercooler. 4.) remove starter. 5.) remove bolts for slave cylinder. 6.) remove bolt holding the line to the pitch link mount on fire wall. 7.) remove nuts off of the master cylinder mount on the fire wall. 8.) remove Hydraulic clutch system from car system removed from car. remove these fasteners. It should look like this. remove shim housing from Slave. remove shim housing from Master. What remains. locate Fellel fitting inside Slave cylinder Find an appropriate diameter wood screw to thread tightly into Ferrel insert. Then with the Slave held firmly in a vise take the claw of one hammer and hold the screw like you would to pull out a nail. With another hammer hit the claw till the ferrel is removed. (note: not much force is needed) This is what you should have once the Ferrel is removed Next is the master cylinder. Parts needed to plug hole in master. (note: you must file the end of the bolt to a flat surface to insure a good seal with copper washers) Insert washers as shown. Thread bolt into Master Cylinder and tighten till it bottoms out on washers. Then add 1/8 turn to compress washers. Reinstall lines to Master Cylinder and Slave Cylinder. (note: the bend in the line must go towards the body of the Slave Cylinder.) Please note angle of the line relative to the Slave Cylinder for proper fitment. Now tighten all fittings (snug + 1/8 turn) what's left bench bleed system and reinstall in reverse order to 1-8 as listed above. Last edited by Wes; 11-05-2008 at 05:04 PM. |

You can always adjust the way you drive. I don't drag race or launch @ 5K rpm at all. Mostly rev match during twisties drive or spirited drives. I am sure this restriction is added by Subaru so those "other people" won't be able to abuse it that much.. Just put the clutch stainless line w/ ATE Super Blue. It grabs slightly faster and clutch feel slightly heavier.. I like it.. realy precise. BTW.. here's a link to buy clutch line for cheap: http://www.roadraceengineering.com/ecldrivetrain.htm (scroll down.. $20 bucks something shiped) Make sure you get the one for the 2G ('95-'99) Ecllipse instead of 1G. It's longer than Subaru OEM but it fits fine w/ some extra rerouting. Looking forward to remove all the restriction. Or if I think it's too much... I can always put it back to stock. | |

| Professional STI Racer Feedback Score: 2 reviews Car: GT35R 04 STi Fav Mod: E85 | Hmmm? I can burn all 4 at will, cut 1.6 60fts or drive it like a grandma and the clutch feels fine. So what is the benefit of this mod? |

| Amateur STI Driver Feedback Score: 0 reviews | You can find the bolt at any oil change place it is a standard drain bolt for many cars. A drain plug bolt might be a little shorter in the threads, I would screw it completely in the master cylinder and if it goes all the way in then ditch the copper washers and reuse the stock washer. This is only if the flange on the drain bolt seats all the way on the master cylinder! |
