F this Forester "Build Thread"

[Evil Imports]

So tonight Ken and I drilled out 2 broken bolts on my brembos and Helicoils all the mounting holes so i will not have to worry about the bolts getting stuck again (since it seems to happen a lot) In the next day or 2 i will drop them off to my powder coater

Brembo Mounting holes
Front M12x1.5

How did the heil-coils work out for you? Those things saved my a** when one of the timing belt tensioner bolt threads stripped out on my girlfriend's engine.
