I’ve been watching (and casually searching) here in the M6g forum, and I’m surprised that this has not been talked about! When I had my WRX it was all the rage, and - while I never took the step myself - it did seem like a great idea. My Volvo *and* my son’s Impreza has it on top of the motor...
I've read the whole thread -- and I am watching to see how it unfolds -- but I wanted to voice an opinion:
Every time I land on the home page, my eye is drawn to that provocative thread title. And -- while I acknowledge that the OP has every right to believe what he wants -- IMO it has not been...
Geez - that's an annoyance, isn't it?! Well - fwiw - I doubt it's a CV joint (or anything "serious", for that matter) Obviously it isn't this, but what I hear is a sound like a swinging keychain or mirror danglers. I only reference that because I am astonished that anyone would not hear it if...
If you can pop it out without damaging the retaining clip, you will discover that there is about 1" of slack in the wire. The connector on the end of the wire has a "traditional" thumb release, and will disengage easily. This will allow you to fully remove the sensor. The wire will of course...

Working perfectly. Will come with rear slider pins, brackets and flex lines.
There's an important caveat regarding shipping speed, so please send me a PM so that this can be explained.
All four rotors - 2 FR & 2 Rr - are also available at extra cost. They are fine -...

15,000 km's - all working perfectly.
Will come with rear slider pins, rear pads and flex lines.
GTA preferred, because they're pretty heavy to ship.
All four rotors are also available at extra cost.
Asking $275, but please try an offer.
PLEASE SEND A...
Another possibility is that one of the connectors on the back of the FCIM or the ACM is not fully locked...or has a partial push-out on one of the pins. Once it gets nice & toasty in back there, something expands j-u-u-s-t enough for it to break connection. And then after it has cooled down it...
I'm smiling as I write - and not trying to be confrontational and/or obstinate. :angel:
The front caliper does not use a bracket.
Correct.
I am comparing the two bolts that affix the front caliper to the hub with the two bolts that affix the rear bracket to the hub.
Yes - the fronts are...
Well - I now agree that once you're under there and actually turning the 18mm rear carrier bolts...129 ft/lbs seems acceptable/reasonable. But this very subjective opinion is based purely on the caliber of the bolt relative to other 18mm bolts of the same caliber. i.e.: I'm not as apprehensive...
You'll get multiple opinions on this, Don. But it's worth noting that RARELY is it wise to blindly trust the factory gapping. Not only is it not consistent, but it's impossible to know with ironclad certainty whether somebody hasn't dropped one of the thousands of plugs that are...
