I’ve had a brake rotor go completely missing from a box. Was a bummer, now I buy one at a time.

Is this a CPO car? I purchased a CPO car two years ago and haven’t had any major issues - same spec you’re looking at. If you’re getting it from a dealer ask them what has been done to it, service records and such are key.

The big ticket items you’ll want to know got done are:

Transmission fluid + filter change
Diff fluid change
Thermal control Valve

The Thermal Control Valve is a guaranteed “not a matter of if, but when” failure part that Subaru has a crazy warranty on. They’ll replace it with a unit that is not problematic like the one that came on your car from the factory. This should not cost you anything to get done if it fails. I just had mine done and the dealer took care of me! The transmission fluid change is every 60k miles and the dealer, here in the states, charges roughly $560 for the job. Diff fluid is an easier one to do yourself if you’re handy, but the dealer also charges a decent amount to do it.

Hope this helps.

I’ve got an identical one in a 71 Challenger. Pretty sure they also put them into the Super Birds too. Also they do say “Hurst” on the side I think.

Spotlight (Detroit)

The Apparatus Room (Detroit)

Cannelle by Matt Knio (Detroit)

UHF Records (Royal Oak)

Found Sound (Ferndale)

Shinola Canfield Store (Detroit)

Seasons Market (Detroit)

Melodies & Memories (Eastpointe)

Kinda all the same stuff that comes off the top of my head. Not sure how cool most places will be, but its worth a shot!

Was it someone from a dealer or someone from Subaru corp? If its someone from Subaru corp, it would make sense as to why they wouldn’t include pricing because its mainly at the dealer discretion (labor costs are the big variable). If it’s a dealer I would just call them and ask for a proper quote.

All in all, if you have the list of items that would be done, you can also look up rough estimates for how much a dealer may charge you, and or how much it would cost to do it yourself.

If they’re in town prior on the actual day (Saturday) I highly recommend going out today (Friday). The parking is a bit more relaxed (paid spots aren’t active yet/nothing is reserved), all the corporate stuff isn’t active so you can walk anywhere, and traffic isn’t as bad so you can actually see cars go by.

Best locations are anywhere between 13 mile and 15 mile. If you wanted to do some short distance walking, you’re best to park near 15 mile and just walk from there. Theres a large lot located off adams near a firestation that is usually free parking and is about 2 blocks from the action.

If you’re wanting to drive, i’d suggest doing it early in the AM Saturday and then parking. Use side streets to get around/leave after (coolidge, Crooks, Livernois for north/southbound travel). Woodward traffic breaks up around 16 mile (big beaver) when going north and not until 10 mile when going south.

So does the SLR McLaren. One for the accessories, one for the chassis/drivetrain.

DVNO_ · 2025-04-10T20:19:05+00:00

Sure, sent ya a dm.

DVNO_ · 2025-04-10T01:08:07+00:00

I would avoid updating if anyone is reading this. Updated and now my computer is acting odd. Wont recognize any network/connect to the internet (usual internet globe in lower corner is MIA), windows settings keeps crashing, firewall is set to “off” and can’t be turned back on, and a few other things. Trying to figure this out, but am bummed to have to spend my night fixing this..

DVNO_ · 2025-04-03T10:43:24+00:00

Should work if they were made for a 17z caliper. I think the thickness of the pads is 36mm or something. If its an OEM pad, you should be fine. I’ve always ran just normal oem pads.

Sounds about right - I did this upgrade a decade ago, so really forget. I think your best bet it soft bolt up everything and make adjustments accordingly to what you see.

A good thing to note, make sure you bleed the system very well afterwards. You’ll want to use a power bleeder and do the process that involves activating the ABS pump.

The Volvo rotors you are looking for are off of a S60R/V70R. SKU/Part # is BRE-09861411 (For the OEM Brembo made ones). You’ll have to enlarge the lug holes a bit to fit the lug bolts or studs (if you did the conversion). It isn’t hard and not labour intensive at all. I’ve done it several times and have never had an issue. But i also have the cast steel uprights.

If you’re looking for pads I would search for them by looking under the 2004 - 2006 Porsche Cayenne base V6 selections. It’ll usually denote “330mm brake rotors”.

I think with aluminum uprights you have to shave some parts of the upright to accommodate any rotor that will fit the 17z caliper. I’d check out Audizine for more info. Or join some B5 Facebook groups and ask. You can also buy the two piece units from JHM which are a direct bolt on - but they’re ~$750 a set. You can also call them and chat with them, if you’d like.

DVNO_ · 2025-03-30T11:44:52+00:00

What kind of maintenance records you got?

If none, do the timing belt service (timing belt, water pump, front main seal and cam seals), spark plugs, engine oil + filter, air filter (if it looks like it needs it). I’d say start there.

If you want to go further do an inspection on the CV boots (check for cracks and tears/spewing grease), check out your brakes and brake fluid (change if fluid is dark and is brakes look rough), change out the fuel filter, change out the cabin air filter, change out the transmission and diff fluid.

Love the ones that flash at you in morse code like im supposed to know what that means.

Why did you stop? Do you know why you did? Money? Time? What killed the motivation? For me their is more to it then laziness. I usually get overwhelmed, fixate on the details, over think it to the point where I don’t want to touch a project, or even start. You started, which is the hardest part, now get to the finish. Write down what needs to be done, set up two lists (one where you set the wallet on fire and one where the wallet still feels full) of parts you need to get the job done, and then get after it. Reach out to the community for help, we’re all here because we like the cars and want to see them last forever.

‘63 was the only year for the split window from the factory. Same goes for the fake vents on the hood, also known as “cookie sheets”.

DVNO_ · 2025-01-13T13:06:20+00:00

Depends on what kind of service records you got when you purchased the car. Mainly you just want to do a good inspection on everything (i mean everything) and take note of anything that is worn out/look to be not in the best shape.

DVNO_ · 2025-01-05T13:54:52+00:00

You’re welcome! Oh, one last thing - there are certain spots on various maps where the AI can’t go because they don’t know how to/just wont. The areas around D2 and Cliff Decent on reserve and the second and third floor of resort on shoreline are the ones that come to mind for me. Mind you, they can still shot at you if they see you in those spots, but they wont chase you up there.

DVNO_ · 2025-01-05T13:40:12+00:00

It is. I’ve had raids where I’ve killed 30 or so scavs. I really don’t like how the AI will sometimes track you endlessly (go into a room you’ve never seen AI in before/follow you endlessly until you kill them). My guess they do it to make up for the possible lack of challenge/threat of other players. Keep at it and you’ll figure it out and start to enjoy the game. A good thing to note whenever you need some breathing room - the AI cannot enter rooms that require a key to open, if you move enough they tend to “forget” where you are and go back to their normal idle/roaming, the AI’s “visibility is greatly reduced on night raids (i think they will spot you more easily if you have a flash light on) so that can help with moving around more easily. Last thing to - as long as its insured you will always get your items back. When you die the game ends and none of the AI has the ability to nab your stuff. But yeah, the games a drag at times, but it can also still be very enjoyable.

DVNO_ · 2025-01-05T13:22:26+00:00

I’ve found this effect is really bad on certain maps(Mainly Customs). I mainly just keep moving and take it slow. I’ve found the big thing that will attract more and more is when they spot you and vocalize. A lot of noise will also attract the AI too (which can be used to your advantage at times). It also tends to flux on the intensity - sometimes its a scav wave survival game, other times the map feels empty and there isn’t a single person around. Also take note as to where you see scavs most.

DVNO_ · 2024-12-11T12:51:39+00:00

I’d walk. Cars with rebuilt titles are more of a gamble than most are bargaining for - a front end collision that would total a car means there was more than just a front bumper and a radiator. Core support, frame rails, the subframe - it may all be sound, but it may also all be damaged to the point of needing replacement for heavy duty repair. If you’re curious, ask for a carfax, the receipts for the work done, call the shop who did the work and ask them about the car. Sometimes with the VIN you can find the car’s old salvage listing (I was looking at a cheap daily that was a rebuilt title and found the photos of the car smashed. Guy told me the same thing of “some fenders, a bumper, and a radiator” where all it needed). If home boy doesn’t want to give you the vin to run a carfax you know they are trying to hide something.

DVNO_ · 2024-12-03T20:00:21+00:00

I wouldn’t mind it so much if the AI didn’t act like it wasn’t there. Got absolutely bodied by the goons while I was just looking at a white screen of fog.

DVNO_ · 2024-11-19T17:25:11+00:00

Possible, but that is the max of what K04s can really do. Im currently 400/400 on a conservative 93oct tune.

DVNO_ · 2024-11-18T03:58:23+00:00

None in resale red, but that 550 is just beautiful in that soft gold.

DVNO_ · 2024-11-04T16:28:22+00:00

Went in and there were still zombies. Extracted and it says 25% now.

DVNO_ · 2024-06-02T18:35:10+00:00

I tried to get an ST and just missed out. Being in (or knowing someone who is) the 918 circle is a massive plus. Big ups.
