)

Turnout is usually around 15-20, slow nights are more like 10-15 and busy nights are usually 20-30 cars. Everyone is real friendly so come out and meet with us!

Mine is pretty loose and its perrrfect now. I believe all it needs is 8lbs of TQ which is pretty loose

people tend to tighten it waaay too much.

i always would try out other peoples SS. Felt way different and harder to shift but shorter throw. Mine was always easy and short.

ask edwin. i fixed it for him

u dont even need my help then...

Just move your center shifter trim outa the way (pops off by hand, just lift on it)

get 12mm wrench, and a short 12mm socket and loosten the pivot bolt..Loosten it in small increments til it feels good. It should be to the point that it feels like its hardley even tight. Mine is AMAZING, way nicer shifting then yours (no offence haha)

SkimSTI · 10-02-2009, 06:36 PM

i loosened that piece quite a bit last time, i dont want it to be too loose and it falls off

hmmm, maybe i'll try it this weekend

It wont, just loosten it all the way off, then start to tighten it slightly then.

or if u want, i can just take a look at it myself. Ive done quite a few SS in my days of owning subarus

SkimSTI · 10-02-2009, 06:41 PM

id feel better having someone that knows these things looking at it. i duno what the hell im doing i just know its still "tight" feeling. matt said it was ok, maybe just loosen it a bit more.

im so newb

TK421 · 10-02-2009, 06:45 PM

No worries, when do you want me to take a look, this wednessday?

I can bring tools to the meet this wednessday if you can hold out..It only requires a couple tools at that to do the entire install job from scratch, and two 12mm for the pivot bolt that may need to be adjusted on urs. I can bring some nice grease i have that I use on all my installs that require grease.

Then you can feel my shifter to get an idea and compare. Im willing to bet its the pivote bolt thats too tight, even Alex said so too. Mine felt like urs til I loostened it up..

Then we can compare our shifters at the same time

TK421 · 10-02-2009, 06:51 PM

Ya, just let me know or text me this weekend and I can cruise over. Should only take 5 mins

SkimSTI · 10-02-2009, 06:53 PM

awesome mang, will do. we'll figure it out. but i definitely wanna check yours out. so i'll hit you up!

wteGDF · 10-02-2009, 06:54 PM

Any of you peeps know where to get some tires mounted and balanced that wont scratch the crap out of my rims and under 100 bucks?

OMG AWD · 10-02-2009, 06:57 PM

^ doesn't gino@apollo do that?

TK421 · 10-02-2009, 07:00 PM

Yes he does, and i think he installs for cheap, but hes about 35 min drive from orange, up the 57 past the 10

Do you have tires already??

I usual always go to discount tire in santa ana, and ive never had any of my nice wheels scratched. As long as they use they use the latest designed tire machines ur good to go..

wteGDF · 10-02-2009, 07:05 PM

I have tires already. Dont really want to go all the way to apollo, wanted to stay around my area...I know gino said he would do it for cheap for me but the drive is a bit far...

SkimSTI · 10-02-2009, 07:14 PM

ive never had a problem with discount tire places either around here... the place i go to is in HB off springdale and mcfadden. and ive been to the one in costa mesa off bristol & the 73. also good work.

Yup, discount tires on bristol right by the 73, great group of guys there

SkimSTI · 10-02-2009, 10:37 PM

Mr Alex Gully, saw your post about the oem intake box in spookys closed thread.
thanks again for that, maybe bring it by the meet next week and i'll take it off your hands then... cool that the filter is still good, but i'll be droppin my K&N in there

either way im glad i will have one that isnt broken anymore... little things like that bother me enough, so that will clear my mind of that problem! woot woot

SkimSTI · 10-03-2009, 12:03 AM

ahh damnit, tracking info for my new headers got pushed back to wednesday arrival now.

^ sucky dude. I have shotgun open right now (unless Calvin comes with), so let me know if you don't want to drive on Saturday. I'm not going to stay too late.

Anyone going to Cars&Coffee tomorrow??? Thinking about going, I need my fix of high-priced auto porn.
