building a track car by cusco kid
over the next few weeks i will post up the mods to our new track car
first 2 mods 27 mm rear anti roll bar and diff x member bush kit-------here goes
always secure your car on stands before working underneath it
this is a pic of underneath showing the rear bar and drop-link plastic type the bar is 19mm
then we removed the wheels after securing on stands---always check you car is steady before getting underneath i always leave the jack under if possible
the d/links are held on by 2 long bolts 14mm bolt head size some can be 12mm you should never see a 13mm bolt on a jap car as 13 is unlucky
this is the arb bracket that links the bar to the body to give it lateral support,the bkts house the bushes that the bar sits in
this is the bkt conected and disconected only one 12mm bolt holds it on
note the difference in size black bush 19 mm yellow 27 mm
once removed from car you can offer up the new bar coating it with grease to lube the bush seat
you can see the difference in size of the 2 bars here
the old drop link and new link in alloy with poly bushes
the new arb in place with drop link bolted up .the bar is a blade adjustable with 3 settings the middle hole for firm road use and hole nearest the rear is good for track use buy just moving the bolt you can adjust the roll resistance
this job is easy to carry out and gives great benifits in handling
mod no 2 rear diff mount bushes .one of the problems with the impreza is on fast gear changes up or down, you can experience transmision thump caused by the diff x member moving up and down this sound drives me mad
the mount for the diff , there are 2 one on each side
the poly bush kit to take all the movement out of the diff mounts
you only have to remove 3 bolts to do this mod and remove the mount plate bkt to fit bushes(note you do not remove old bushes you are spacing the gap between the body and the original bush
again this is an easy job to complete and gives great benifits to handling ,no noise difference is noticable when driving
this is the first mods carried out and the difference is unbelieveable
if anybody wants any info on how to do these mods pm me geo

27mm rear! I've tried a 27mm front!
Surprised you have not fitted the Whiteline strengthened rear bar supports.
The subframe kit absolutly works in tying -down the rear diff.
Even better if you fit poly bushes to the rear diff.
I look forward to seeing all the other parts go on.
After 4 years racing on Whiteline parts, they sure do work.

I've been convinced for ages now that it's my rear diff that clonks on a gear change. As I've yet to fit my Eibach 24mm F&R ARBs I might try a rear diff mount kit too! Can't believe I've never put to the two things together!! Cheers cuscokid

just fitted the poly spacer bushes and they do make alot more noise i found on mine,mostley on over run,but then again i have subframe lock bars,uprated antiroll bars and drop links,and tein coilovers,just got to fit my new track arm bushes on the back now,surrpose the harder you make everything the more noise you get via the car body/chassis.
