subarutah · 09-30-2011, 05:06 PM

I'm currently installing a bride shift boot/sneakers boot/arm rest cover and taking a cigarette and beer break cuz its a pita

habitatxskate · 09-30-2011, 05:16 PM

Oil change

WhiteoutRally · 09-30-2011, 06:01 PM

Started cleaning up these and making sure they are burr free for building the shortblock tomorrow

2.5ReallySexy · 09-30-2011, 06:43 PM

Got this today plan on rolling fenders tomorrow

subarutah · 09-30-2011, 07:11 PM

ok so I recieved these today and decided to install them really quick......

What I didn't know was how much of a PITA it is to redo the e-brake boot. Seriously though I thought this whole project would take me an hour tops, and here is the finished product 4 hours later

still needs to be cleaned up a bit around the e-brake area but I'm fed up with it for the night lol

suber219 · 10-01-2011, 07:06 PM

Installed auto dimming mirror and compass in my 07 Sti.

subarutah · 10-01-2011, 08:01 PM

Changed my oil today using rotella 5w-40. Car actually seems to run a lot smoother with diesel oil lol

Diesel oil FTW!

bwilliams373 · 10-02-2011, 01:09 AM

Bought a 1999 RS the other day with EJ20 drivetrain...
Swap was done professionally in 05 but car in general needed a little TLC, so here's the list of what ive done yesterday and today:

DIY: new rear wheel bearings in the rear (both sides)
DIY: front axle trans seals & trans flush
DIY: EJ20G oil pan replace (+oil & filter)
Removed interior for detail
Swapped aftermarket deck w/ 03 wrx double din 6 disc
Rebuilt driver window tracks so it will go up and down
Installed new RS floor mats
Clean & Oil air filter
Made RS hood vent covers to protect filter & battery from Oregon winter!

I think that about covers it! More stuff to do and parts on the way

WhiteoutRally · 10-02-2011, 11:10 PM

Built the motor! Ring gap was set to .019 and .022

THE_KING_04 · 10-02-2011, 11:13 PM

Installed my newly traded HKS Hi-Power. Now to do the DP

Dekka98 · 10-03-2011, 02:23 PM

Traded exhausts with The King!

Now to figure out how to get Cobb catback to mate up with Invidia downpipe.
(taking suggestions, the leak is very annoying)

You should just need a flat flange 3" gasket I would imagine

I ordered one of these for my same issue on same CBE http://www.rallysportdirect.com/Grim...uble-Thickness.
It did the trick. I loosened all flanges ( DP @ turbo, DP to CBE, CB to axle back flanges ) added the double thickness one at the catback... Also note the position of your bracket where the DP actually bolts on to the frame of the car, sometimes you can play with that angle to get a better fit. I've also seen people use a high-temp sealer called "acousti-seal" not sure if that's the proper spelling.. But GL and use pry bars to help line things up when you re-tighten all your flanges.

Sw20matt · 10-03-2011, 04:18 PM

blew the oil seal on my turbo feed line!

BREWPUBEAVER · 10-03-2011, 06:37 PM

5-40M1 is my go to. but most brands that have a 5-40 are a good oil. as it requires a lot more certs

klaxed · 10-05-2011, 06:23 PM

SPEEDWARE · 10-05-2011, 06:36 PM

I kissed her and told her she's been a good girl and that she deserves a full clay bar, polish, and wax+wax before the true winter months come on

Club SiL · 10-05-2011, 06:41 PM

Picked up new UR flaps, a SPT intake, SPT oil cap, SPT tie down, Momo shift knob...On the way and in transit is a SPT front strut bar, Subtle brushed alternator cover, JDM rear bumper spats, and a pass. side STi fog light cover.
