...I'm glad I just bought a nice, normal wix filter.

I had mine washed. Only to see them pushing it out of the washbay. Turns out they couldn't drive stick. 0_o

Mastuss3055 · 01-16-2013, 09:43 PM

Nothing at all. Trying to figure out how to finish getting my 2010 wrx. If anyone wants to hang out next weekend and help out let me know. Would really appriciate it.

Wagaru · 01-16-2013, 10:02 PM

Cobb filter is oiled. Absolutely nothing wrong with using an oiled filter as long as it isn't over-oiled.

SWP is Sexy · 01-16-2013, 11:42 PM

Its preference. Oil has been known to gum up MAFs, but it also catches more fine particles like dust.

I'm going dry filter myself, should be getting my aem Saturday

Hextro · 01-16-2013, 11:56 PM

K&N comment peeps- it wasn't very oiled right out of the box and i plan to oil lightly in the future. there's also MAF cleaner that dries quick like brake cleaner that could also keep the MAF clean if used when cleaning the filter.
Thanks for the heads up though, food for thought.

I'll be getting the front shifter bushing bracket replaced tomorrow (too weird to DYI at my comfort/skill level. might have to lower the exhaust and raise the tranny a bit to put in a $16 part... ugh. Torque to spec at all times! i forgot and went way passed 13lb)

so new bracket goes in, while down there we'll put the rear shifter KB bushing in and some Eibach camber bolts i was gifted.

Then off for alignment. turns out Pep boys has a 1 year unlimited alignment plan for $110 and they'll adjust camber to what i request while doing the alignment.

Thinking of 1.5 all around. spec book says .10 front and 1.15 rear stock
we'll be doing a member day at MSR soon.
any objections to the 1.5 or other suggestions?
cheers

SWP is Sexy · 01-17-2013, 12:03 AM

Be careful with the MAF cleaner, be sure to let everything cool first. I've heard a couple horror stories of fire

iconone · 01-17-2013, 09:35 AM

Thinking of plasti dipping my wheels this color.

What color is that? Where did you get it?

iconone · 01-17-2013, 09:55 AM

It's plasti dip from dipyourcar.com. It's a custom combo of black and gold metalizer. Looks almost like jbp/obp.

Do it! Can always peel it off if you don't like it or want it anymore.

juandering · 01-18-2013, 03:04 AM

Awesome part about plasti-dip! Peel off if you don't like it

WRXwife · 01-18-2013, 09:06 AM

Or let random people at a car meet peel it off for you LOL (Rusty w/ central meets reference)

dyslexicwrx · 01-18-2013, 01:38 PM

Put on RCE front and rear sway bars. Fixed an exhaust leak.

Kastley85891 · 01-18-2013, 06:56 PM

Went over 4 zones of damage, were careless, useless ****,lazy,fat,retard vehicle owners had scratched my scoob

TOI · 01-18-2013, 08:38 PM

Primed more of my car, and noticed my rear end has shifted.... so I need to buy lock bolts for the subframe.

07imprezive · 01-19-2013, 09:27 AM

Ran for three days without a radio that had no power so immediately assumed it was a fuse, until finally yesterday decided to check all my fuses and they were all fine. Was stumped for about an hour, til I remembered their was a fuse behind the radio. Tore up center console,

Found fuse

Pulled it, twas fine. After I had given up, I put it all back together turned the key for all accessory lights. And somehow magically my radio worked lol. I was ecstatic!! But still not sure why it stopped working in the first place..

HonduHunter · 01-19-2013, 10:26 AM

Loose wire? Check your power and grounds.

Yeah, see I checked all of those and they seemed fine as well, my brother and my bro in law recently help me wire in some new speakers in front so I checked those to make sure if that was the issue, maybe loose wire their. But nope. So its still a mystery..

TOI · 01-19-2013, 10:33 PM

had the same issue in my GF's corolla. she hit a bump and lost 3/4ths of her speakers. turned out it was the butt connectors being jarred.

Mister Tanker · 01-20-2013, 05:48 AM

Installed Password JDM bumper quick releases and a Perrin blow through boost tube and got the car running. Half scaled my map. Now I just need to rescale my map sensor so I can get to tuning.
