My 1993 Impreza AKA the daily - UEL header, STi catback, and white WRX wheels!

my 93 I mean. Book value is like $1400-1700 depending on where you look but I see 93's in varyign states of disrepair on craigslist for 2500-3K all day long.
 


My buddy got his painted over the weekend. Yes that wheel is bent, those are winter wheels and tires.

Is its just the pictures, angle, and wheels that make the brakes look bigger or did you do bigger brakes as well?

Well I don't even know where to start with what all we did to the car this past weekend. My friend Matt and I turned wrenches on this thing for three days straight.

Here's the list on what I got:
Front brake calipers replaced with calipers from a 2005 WRX
Front brake pads replaced with Wagner Thermoquiet 2005 WRX front pads
Front brake rotors replaced with Wagner rotors for a 2005 WRX
Rear brake drums replaced with Centric drums
Rear brake shoes replaced with Centric shoes
Rear wheel cylinders replaced
Rear brake hoses replaced
Rear brake lines replaced (I'll get to this later)
Wheel cylinder bolts replaced (broke 2 when removing them)
Brake fluid bled and flushed (it was very dirty)
Rear brake hardware replaced
Transmission filter changed
Transmission fluid added
Transmission pan bolt extraction (get to this one later as well)
Differential fluid changed
PCV valve changed
Valve cover gaskets changed
Oil changed
Oil filter changed
Oil and trans pan plug gaskets changed
Fuel filter replaced
Spark plug wires changed
Oxygen sensor replaced (Waiting for UEL headers to install this one)
Timing belt changed (saved for another weekend)
Water pump changed (saved for timing belt job)
Thermostat changed (saved for timing belt job)
Building a cold-air intake:
Filter (on car now)
Intake couplers
Bolts for intake to MAF plate
Pipe for intake
MAF sensor adapter plate
Ball joints replaced (New OEM Subaru, I had them left over from the STi build and they use the same ball joints)



Here's the parts:




Here's the old front brakes compared to the new ones:

Old rotors were 9.5" with single piston calipers, new ones are 11.6 with dual piston calipers. Brake fluid capacity is basically unchanged, pedal feel is slightly different but not too bad. The car which barely stopped in the past now locks the brakes up if you get on them too hard. The front brakes are entirely from a 2005 WRX, it's direct bolt on replacement.
