Yeah, but there's usually unseen damage anyways.

Well yesterday I replaced my valve cover gaskets and also put on the muffler that came with the car I purchased. Strangely enough now though when my car is running and I push the clutch in or put the car in neutral it revs up to like 2K rpm's and continues to rise. It was "idling" at 3,800rpm at one point. I don't understand what happened. First thought was that it had something to do with my exhaust then after that I thought it might be my throttle positioning sensor. Any ideas on this??

Dominator · 10-17-2012, 02:06 PM

That's an interesting problem. Search over here at http://bbs.legacycentral.org/
That site is hands down the best 1st gen Legacy site out there.

Thanks man, I am a member on that site also and searched it and also posted the problem there. Hopefully someone may have some idea about it.

snowdrift86 · 10-17-2012, 05:10 PM

Sounds like an intake leak or a sensor issue

cosseywrx · 10-17-2012, 07:09 PM

Perrin FMIC pipes arrived!

_davin · 10-17-2012, 10:40 PM

Finally in my possession!

Dominator · 10-18-2012, 01:00 PM

So meanwhile, on a car forum thread about doing things to your car...

My new aerodynamic wheel arch extenders with custom ice spats...

Dirty Winter Mode - now studded for your driving pleasure...

cosseywrx · 10-18-2012, 09:49 PM

2.0l gasket kit arrived! and FMIC core

05GDF · 10-18-2012, 10:46 PM

Yesterday I had Paul flushed and filled the rear diff and tranny fluid. Very awesome guy, again thanks!

I wired up a PWM (pulse width modulator) for my boost gauge. I got it to to regulate the light output of the LED backlighting of it. Just a cheap kit I got off ebay, but hopefully it does the trick. I'll snap a pic of it tomorrow when I have my camera and access to my server.

It was actually a lot of fun to build. I've never soldered a circuit board. I'm not good at it, but I got better as the kit progressed. I bench tested it and it works, so mission accomplished!

Dominator · 10-19-2012, 02:24 PM

Here are the pictures of the completed PWM kit I put together last night.

This is where I got it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/230844543212

Close-up of my 1st time circuit board soldering job. Not as bad as I thought it would look.

chanomatik · 10-19-2012, 07:18 PM

Pretty clean right there, Dom.

Dominator · 10-19-2012, 07:31 PM

Thanks Chano. Now I just need some free time with access to a garage and I'll wire it in.

mebr89 · 10-19-2012, 08:28 PM

Today I changed my oil an threw on a Nameless catback (thank you Chano!).

05GDF · 10-20-2012, 12:56 AM

Changed my radiator! My old one blew this morning.

Have you heard perrin catback in person? I heard it was very similar to nameless, you can't really tell in the videos. I'm trying to get someone's opinion on the sounds between the two.

Welcome, sir! I'm glad you enjoy it. It's better than having it sit in my basement, waiting to get experimented on.

Today I ditched the rusty look in place of something more chipper (thanks, Kyle!):

hatchin12 · 10-20-2012, 06:31 AM

Today I installed the Cobb Stage 1 off my AP and installed a Nameless axle back with 5" mufflers. Next to come is a DP from Nameless, TMIC from Process Wext and a Protune.. Stoked!

Lol, thanks for sharing but this is a local thread. Great taste in mods though, I'm mad jelly of the 5" muffled Nameless.

Here you go.
