I haven't been able to find any hubs I'd really trust. I'm going to stick with OEM Mazda. The fronts are $250 a pop last time I checked!

*** brand. Seems to hold up well so far. When I spring for new hubs I'll use the Mazda bearings.

Welded the reinforcement brackets to the struts tonight. Need to weld the spring collar locations, get the bodies threaded for the gland nuts and then they can get powder coated!

All good, I understand.

At the upgright or via the upper plates?

You have to run a less aggressive rear pad. Even without engaging ABS the rears on my car were locking up(leaving some subtle flat spots on the tires) with even moderate pads. I've had to use a street pad(Posi Quiet) to prevent any rear lockup. In contrast I run Carbotech XP10s on the front...

Just the fronts, it'd take most of the session to get heat into the rears if I ran any more rubber!

Guys, just because someone runs a part on a track car, doesn't mean its good. NRG is low quality stuff. I have a car in the shop right now with NRG stuff. Its flimsy and has a lot of slop. Its shiny though... I'd stick with a Sparco/Momo/Works quick release and adapter. For the airbag, you...

Here's a picture of the current 235 vs 255 tires. I plan to run the 255s on a 9" wheel, but they are mounted on a 8" in the picture.

I'll have pictures soon. Just haven't made much progress as I've been busy with shaking a customer car down for this season along with the usual work load of cars. I'm probably going to skip the March event so I can make sure I have the suspension 100%. I really want to finish the rear control...

Never in the history of a STi has a brake job cost $3500.

Definitely rotate the upper strut mounts at a bare minimum. It'll give you a bit more caster. -2* camber is a good compromise

There are plenty of choices. People have had the same issues on lots of FWD cars.

The gear is not the issue....

James, were you at that meet? Lots of old cars in that picture...

2.5" holesaw, aluminum tubing, high temp ducting, success. Its not too bad at all.

How many other people are running just an AWR front motor mount with no issues? Don't think that just because you had a problem, its inherent to the part. Obviously there is an issue with your car and that part.

Wow, four pages of miss-information and its still going strong...

Its a duct that goes to the airbox.

Most definitely!
