Wow! Hangars are expensive little buggers. Priced per hangar. Ordered the heat shield, a painful 70 bucks, but I really don't wanna cut up the sock one. Might not happen on Wednesday. A little pissed off a JSC Speed right now. First my whole order didn't ship the first day, no problem, but having to call to get the rest shipped, not funny. Several days go by and yesterday I notice, no downpipe gasket in any of the boxes that came with the orders. So in looking on the website last night, I see they are now out of stock, usually ships within 2 weeks, hmmm. Dealing with JSC at the moment, hoping that one is left in the warehouse unaccounted for.

Update: Sending me an OEM gasket. Heat shield will be at least wed. If not thur. Getting here.

Oh, don't I know what you mean....

So, it's time to replace the clutch in my Nissan XE pickup. I remove everything, drive shaft front and back plus mount, tranny mounts and every single bolt around the tranny except the very top one, or as it always is, the very last bolt. 4 hours later and with a breaker bar and a 6 foot, yes, I said foot, extension and I still couldn't break it free. Finally had to take it to a shop.

i was planning to come, but turns out i'm not gonna make it. maybe next week, guys!

STiHokie48 · 02-21-2013, 11:30 AM

I think I may actually come to the meet tonight. I don't have anything going on. Hopefully I dont just completely forget like I have the past few times...

Cathexis · 02-21-2013, 12:00 PM

Using my time wisely while waiting for the remaining exhaust parts.

TBE not installed so wideband gauge has no sensor, just power. It got dark last night so I am waiting until today to install T-Fitting and boost sender.

STiHokie48 · 02-21-2013, 12:28 PM

Very nice. I installed my AF Ratio gauge in the vent. I'll try to dig up a picture.

simpsonsdotcom · 02-21-2013, 12:37 PM

Thats a lot of boost at idle, how do I get that??

STiHokie48 · 02-21-2013, 01:06 PM

Greekstage2WRX · 02-21-2013, 01:49 PM

The vent gauge is awesome!!

Cathexis · 02-21-2013, 07:09 PM

Running late....

ej25lol · 02-21-2013, 10:27 PM

i was wondering if anyone in the richmond area know a good shop or technician that would fix my car for not too much. A little scared to get a huge bill at the subaru dealership over a small fix. I've been also trying to come out to one of the subaru meets here in richmond when my class schedule allows me. Thanks in advance.
