The stands arrived from England today so I went and put the car on them after work

I have to say these things are a work of art !

I know it has been a while since I have posted anything regarding my build and it's because I have been very busy with the race and test schedule this year and also got into fitting a supercharger to an 03 Corvette and the kit was a disaster so I have had very little time to work on the Legacy.

I did have time to fit a Walbro 255 LPH in tank fuel pump, I did not follow the instructions as I did not like the way they wanted to mount the pump, I modified the base mount which was rubber and I was able to fit it just as the factory had with the original.

This pump will easily support the 350 hp that I hope to make from this engine

this is the original pump next to the new pump to be fitted

The instructions called to wrap the body of the pump in supplied foam and tywrap to the mount

I modified rubber base mount to fit as the factory pump was

the finished pump install just as the original pump was mounted

Today I was able to assemble the new STI Knuckle/Hub assembly which are the early 5X100 Press in Bearings which match the 2001 Subaru Impreza RA trans and Half Shafts and CV joints that I have. I also masked and repainted the Knuckles as the original paint is a thin coat from the factory.

I will not have ABS so I will make Aluminum plugs and press into the Bores where the sensor would be.

I have all new parking brake assembly's and hardware, unfortunately I was not able to finish the rear knuckles as the dealer only sent two bolts for the backing plates, I will get them and finish Assembling them soon.
