Replying to: paisan (Dec 19, 2006 1:50 am) oh yea? I'm thinking WRX since they clear 16" rims. But the project grocery getter OBS thread on Nabisco is running monster Legacy GT front brakes with spectacular results. Not an option, as I believe 17" is required for those.

I have a set of 4-pots that fit under wrx rims in the shop. they are nice and blingy gold too.   You can also go with WRX 4-pots but they require pre-02 RS rims to clear.   Either way shoot me an e-mail before you get anything as I usually have brakes around the shop that I can hook yah up with.   -mike Replies to this message: lucien2 (Dec 21, 2006 9:04 pm)

Replying to: paisan (Dec 21, 2006 10:15 am) Will do, Mike. I'm running 16x7 SSR Comps with summer tires, and the 15" steelies in winter. My plan is to upgrade front brakes and   a) find a set of cheap 16" takeoffs for winter (WRX, etc.)   or   b) run the SSRs all year with UHP A/S tires   maybe I can swing a hall pass at some point, come on up and we can do the install up there, have a couple brews, finally meet (well, for the 2nd time anyways!)

No problem let me know. I also saw you mention 2.5RS seats. I have a set I just took out of the legacy sitting around   -mike Replies to this message: lucien2 (Dec 22, 2006 7:49 pm)

Replying to: paisan (Dec 22, 2006 4:38 pm) OH REALLY? good shape? ok, we're going to have to hook up at some point. Oh, and I guess we can consider this topic well and truly hijacked LOL
#26 of 40 Yeah 2001 by paisan Dec 23, 2006 (11:40 pm)
RS seats that had 20k miles when I got em, put another 5k on em in the leg and now they are in the shop.   Continuing the hijack.   -mike Replies to this message: ateixeira (Jan 12, 2007 10:16 am) paisan (Jan 15, 2007 12:05 pm) lucien2 (Jan 16, 2007 12:07 pm)

Replying to: ateixeira (Jan 12, 2007 10:16 am) If I can find some brakes for him, I may come down and help him install them and the seats   -mike Replies to this message: lucien2 (Jan 16, 2007 12:07 pm)

Replying to: bhirish1960 (Dec 08, 2006 6:05 pm) Aging response, but FWIW:   1) After 40 drive cycles, most codes will clear if the fault never occurs again. Light goes off, 'snapshot' of sensor status when error occured clears out, and readiness status required for some state inspections will be restored. If the problem is still there, the error log will remain, and you cannot pass an emissions inspection.   2) Front brakes were upgraded early in the '02 model year. I have a very early '02 that was built with '01 brake hardware and had persistent problems with the OEM stuff. I'm not surprised that you had issues. Last Spring I put on aftermarket rotors and pads, and many of my complaints went away.   Steve
