[Paul_N]

Version 5 STi spoiler :drool:

[GC8U]

I haven't taken many pics of the car because I don't have my own camera but I borrowed a friends so I can start taking pics/vids now. Yes the hood is on right now, it needs a little PDR and adjusting but I don't mind.

I'll go out and take a vid right now.

[GC8U]

uhhh you say you have 2.5rs hood and front bumper??? are they not installed yet?

I don't have the front bumper yet, I have the hood.

The first 4 pics were taken by the guy I bought it from.

Don't let the 160k fool you, EJ22's are bulletproof. Ask anyone that knows about 'em. Put another 800 down on coilovers and you'd dominate in Auto-X.

I need to weld a little spot on the latch so my hood fits flush, then a little PDR, 22b vents and it's good.

[DSMMIKE]

:lol: Wagons are the ****, I would've bought that if it was for sale before I found my car. Look on RS25 and NASICOCK for some wagons, I wished I would've looked through those threads before I was so set on buying a coupe.

EJ22= 2.2L
EJ25=2.5L (It seems to me like there's another EJ25 everytime I go on the internet)
EJ18=1.8L

That's just the basics of the engine code, if you wanna call it that. There's a bunch of other things. I just don't pay attention to any of it.

He drives a dark blue TrailBlazer and his girlfriend drives a red 2000+ Eclipse.

He used to live there with his mom Tina and his brother Travis, then they all moved out and he moved in there with his girlfriend and kid. I live right next door.

[regal403]

Posted via Mobile Device I've got a 2003 Legacy GT 2.5

[Paul_N]

no big plans yet, k&N drop in, prob get some hids, and new deck

you can't own a subaru and not have boxer rumble, you might as well slap god across the face if you don't get UEL headers.

i'll prob get the SPT bolt on muffler, there are some days where i don't want to hear the damn exhaust and some days i do. that's why i'm getting the bolt on muffler, so i can change it at any time LOL

I'm looking at getting SPT intake maybe down the road but then again idk

its my DD and really want to keep it clean

You might as well not put on the SPT axle-back because you're not gonna hear **** out of that. Plus that's overpriced by a **** ton. Go on ebay and buy a OBX cat-back if you want something like that. It's only 275 and you actually hear a tone out of it.

Honestly, I think the SPT Exhaust is worthless. If you want something that you'll be able to hear I'd go on ebay and get an OBX Catback. Or if you want something that's a little bit better quality, go to www.boxer4racing.com and buy Stromung Axle-Back or Cat-Back. Either of those would be decent.

When I left the house, I had no intentions of taking pics but I thought it was a good spot so I jumped out and snapped a few with a shitty camera. Car was filthy and I'm a shitty photographer.

[BOORAH]

If it were me, I'd probly put the stock hood back on, that one looks pretty beat up

[GC8U]

If it were me, I'd probly put the stock hood back on, that one looks pretty beat up

I don't have it, I traded. All it needs is PDR, new DS Vent and I need to weld a spot on the latch on the hood. The reason it looks so misfit is because the top 2 tabs on my grill are broke off so it hangs down and makes it look like theres a big gap. I was gonna go try to pop some of them but I'm gonna wait till tommorrow.

[millertime]

lot of dents in that hood, woulda left the stock one on if it were me

[GC8U]

Yeah, I know what your saying. I wanted the hood and I couldn't find another one that was close. I like it, it just needs a little love.

[millertime]

Yeah, I know what your saying. I wanted the hood and I couldn't find another one that was close. I like it, it just needs a little love.

not as much as mine tho, that's for damn sure.

[GC8U]

Do you work at D&N Auto Repair off of Cornhusker? I see a red RX7 down there all the time.

[BOORAH]

Nope^

[millertime]

Nope^

and i haven't seen this one, i should go check it out, my buddy said it had the 99 spec spoiler, hmm...

[regal403]

Posted via Mobile Device What do you guys think of Martin's suggestion of putting dual cherry bombs out the back? I honestly think it would sound pretty good. Thoughts?

[JesterMX6]

it'd be a bit raspy.

`Hahah, that's another one of my great talents.......along with photography

[GC8U]

Haven't been on here for ages. Just thought I'd put up a little update.
http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh200/sloth3636/Copyof100_061476849.jpg
Got Amber corners, painted headlights, lowered on 5zigen springs, new head unit, got rid of the subs. Next up is wheels. I'm going with Konig Countersteers 17x7 +35 in Flat Black. Was gonna go with white wheels but they'd be a ***** to clean everyday. Maybe I'll paint my steelies white :lol:.
Once I get some time, I'll put my amazing photography skills to good use.

[BOORAH]

[supersayianjim]

so are you going to to a full sti engine swap?? or turbo this engine?? sti motro swaps(even now) are kinda pricey..

[EvanE]

i'd like to have a older subaru as a daily...

[GC8U]

so are you going to to a full sti engine swap?? or turbo this engine?? sti motro swaps(even now) are kinda pricey..
The motor in my car (EJ22E) has a lower compression ratio than most Subaru motors. I could run 7-8 pounds somewhat safely on the stock block. I'll probably do that until I can afford to get an EJ22T block (Closed deck). Then after that I'll probably sell it and get a WRX/STi

i'd like to have a older subaru as a daily...
They're definately a fun car.

[Paul_N]

don't turbo now wait save money do a ej20 swap from like a 04/05 wrx

i'm pretty sure that **** will be cheaper down the road

[EvanE]

don't turbo now wait save money do a ej20 swap from like a 04/05 wrx

i'm pretty sure that **** will be cheaper down the road

ej20 why not ej25 from the STi? now that would be tight to have a complete STi engine and tranny swap in that thing

i don't know if its a direct drop in but anythings possible...

[jorge]

ej25>ej20
x infinity

if money isn't the problem i would do a ej25 but sounds like he is on a budget and ej20 are cheap swaps

[EvanE]

how much more is a ej25 over a ej20?

[Paul_N]

i'm sure thousands more, i found it hard to find a good EJ25, now i have a
EJ25 but n/a,

i think it takes more custom work to swap a EJ25 than a EJ20

[Paul_N]

but it would be a freakin sweet swap

[EvanE]

but it would be a freakin sweet swap

hell yeah

[GC8U]

If I wanted to swap in an EJ257, it'd be at least 8k for everything and labor. Brembos, 6spd, motor, DCCD, and all. Sure it'd be amazingly fast, but I bet my wallet could still keep up with me. If it caught me, it'd give me a good ol' fashioned Nebraska ass whippin.

[GC8U]

Kind of an update.
The gay black door molding **** on the doors were pissing me off. So I decided to paint it. It matches the car now, it actually turned out better than I thought it would.
I also took off the gay sedan spoiler, so I'm rocking wingless for now. Until I can get my Ver. 5 STi spoiler.
I'll have pics of it when I get my new laptop charger in the mail, since my desktop doesn't have an SD card slot, and I don't have a USB cable.

[C.J.]

buy a complete ej20 for like $1000

[GC8U]

I'd kinda like to know where you found an EJ20 for 1k.

[GC8U]

The only EJ20 I'd want is a 20g.
John Pearson (00rs on NSOC) has an EJ22T he would sell me. I'm most likely gonna buy it this summer. Swap out the short block, TD04, WRX injectors, fuel pump, intercooler, exedy stage 1 clutch, and a greddy emanage blue.
I'm going to do the turbo kit first, then when I get money, swap out my EJ223 block for the EJ22T block. Might throw in a better set of rods when I do it.

[Paul_N]

look at the bigger picture just save for the ej20 save money in the end

[GC8U]

The EJ22T block is one of the best blocks Subaru made, next to the EJ20G. He's selling me the whole motor for 450 bucks, how am I supposed to turn that down?

[BOORAH]

LS1 or BAN.

+1.....LS1 swap the subaru

[GC8U]

That'd be interesting. An LS1 in a Subaru. If it was possible, I'd consider it.

[millertime]

everything is possible with teh almighty ls1!
they put one in a porsche for god's sake
and seriously, save up for the bigger picture, deal with slow longer, but be fast sooner

[GC8U]

An LS1 went into a Porsche? Subaru motors fit in Porsche's. That would be perty sweet.

[C.J.]

just buy a wrx

[GC8U]

Lol, no thanks.
Even with an accident on my record, my insurance is 80 dollars a month

[C.J.]

still I think you could find an ej20 damn cheap

[GC8U]

I guarantee it wouldn't be cheaper than the route I'm going

EJ22T motor-450 (Could sell heads, IM, EM and get at least 200 back)
TD04-50
WRX injectors-150-200
WRX fuel pump-25-30
WRX TMIC-100-150
Custom up and down pipe-150-200
3" custom TBE-250 (guess)
greddy emanage blue-200-300
exedy stage 1 clutch-around 300

Total-little under 2k. That's rounding it all up. Plus there wouldn't be much to wiring other than the Greddy EManage

yes but you could probably find a used ej20 complete with all those parts...minus the greddy emanage and clutch for around the same price and you have a better base with better heads.

[GC8U]

Well I'll look into it. I've been perty set on going that route, but if something comes up thats perty cheap, I'll go another route.

i'll have to +1 this like i said before just due the ej20 and be happy

[GC8U]

I just now remembered that the guy I was gonna buy the EJ22T from works at a shop that could do financing on a swap. So that might be the actual route I take.

[Paul_N]

why don't you do it your self?

[millertime]

why don't you do it your self?

[C.J.]

financing on a swap? sounds like a bad idea.

[srt-4_uk]

financing on a swap? sounds like a bad idea.

One local guy here took out a loan for a turbo kit. It was a great idea.

[Paul_N]

yea if your low on cash wait

[GC8U]

I could probably do it myself, just not the wiring. I'd have to have someone do that.

[GC8U]

Finally quit bein lazy and did something to my car. Painted the door guards to match the car. I might do the mirrors too.

Double Post ftl

[GC8U]

My car has been bucking and jumping for a while now. It hasn't been very often, but now it's getting to be perty regular. I'm gonna go buy some injector cleaner and spark plugs tomorrow. Anyone have any other ideas of what it would be from? It does it mostly in 1st gear but I've had it in 2nd and 3rd, too. It just bucks when you give it gas. The more throttle you give it, the more it bucks. Figured I'd start with the basics, Air, Spark, and Fuel. Plugs are probably overdue anyways.

[regal403]

QUAD POST FTW

[GC8U]

I went out and pissed around with the car today. I unplugged the plug wires from the coil pack and plugged them back in (cutting the **** out of my hand in the process). Problem has gone away so far.

[GC8U]

Problem isn't gone completely, but I also have a CEL for my front o2, as soon as I get access to a lift, I'll fix it.
http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh200/sloth3636/Edit-1.jpg

A PS of the wheels I'll probably end up buying:
http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh200/sloth3636/98a549.jpg

[GC8U]

So I ran into a little problem. I have a wierd noise coming from one of my pulleys, found out my powersteering pump is bad, and my air compressor just doesn't work at all. I think the noise is coming from a bad bearing in the idler pulley. I'm hoping I don't have to pull the timing cover off and do the timing belt, water and oil pump, cam and crank seals, etc.. I'll look more into it tomorrow.
Oh yeah, I sourced a EJ205 block for 150 bucks. :D

[Paul_N]

wait i'm lost, your going to replace everything when your buying a turbo'd swap?

[GC8U]

wait i'm lost, your going to replace everything when your buying a turbo'd swap?

I'm only gonna buy a shortblock from a WRX and I actually don't know if I even need to do the timing belt. We'll find out today though.

[C.J.]

hmm wrx shortblock....sounds like familiar advice

[GC8U]

hmm wrx shortblock....sounds like familiar advice

lol
Good thing I talked to Russ about my problems, otherwise I wouldn't be getting one.

My problems are far worse than I expected. I have a spun bearing and the car won't even start. So I'll have this setup:
EJ205 block
Stock pistons, rods, and crank
ACL Race Bearings
Cometic HG
WRX Oil and Water pump
EJ22E heads


I was driving home today and this loud squeak that I've had lately came back. Then I heard a knock, then the car died and wouldn't start. If you try to start it, it just sounds like a grinding noise. I thought maybe a pulley seized up or something so I loosened up the belt and it still does it. So as soon as I get all the parts I listed above, I'll be pulling the motor and swapping shortblocks. Probably gonna be sellin a lot of ****, otherwise It'll take forever to get it done.

so you are buying the shortblock complete correct? definitely not worth the time to buy a bare block and put stock pistons,rods, and crank back in it.

Everything in it are fine except the crank and the #4 rod bearings, IIRC. It's complete, but I'll have to get a new crank, or have the one that's there fixed.

[GC8U]

Started pulling the motor today. Got the battery, intake tract, radiator, and headers off. Probably should be perty close to being pulled tomorrow night. I'm most likely gonna pick up the block this weekend.

[Paul_N]

hmm wrx shortblock....sounds like familiar advice

x2

[GC8U]

Went and picked up my new shortblock today along with 6 rods, 6 pistons, and a crank. I need to get a hold of a machine shop to get the crank polished and possibly have the block hot tanked. I might just clean it up myself.

[srt-4_uk]

Flat 6?

[GC8U]

Lol
I wish
I'd be the first in Nebraska as far as I know. But, after I get this thing boosted, I'll be the fourth one to have a boosted GC/GF as far as I know.

[tonsan]

There's more than 4 GC/GM/GF's in Nebraska. I can name 5 right now, including myself. :D

[GC8U]

There's more than that. But, how many are swapped/boosted? Oh, and post pics of your ride man. I don't care if it looks like **** or not, it's still a Subaru.

[tonsan]

Im boosted, Jovan is boosted with a red wagon, Russ's neighbor is boosted with his old GC, Diga Delay with Jon's old boosted wagon, the GC that was forsale awhile back on craigslist, David's bro is boosted or whoever has the STM GC....

And no, I will not post pics of my car. If this was 4bangercity, then maybe. :)

[GC8U]

The only ones I knew about were Jovan, Jimmy Ton, John Pearson, and someone else. I didn't know Dan Pham was boosted. I traded him my L hood for his RS hood. The one that has a million dents in it.

I'm strivin to have the car running by the end of this weekend or early next week.

[Paul_N]

what the new set up like?

[GC8U]

idk haven't driven it yet.

[GC8U]

Started gathering parts for my turbo kit. Gonna be home brewed.
WRX fuel pump $15
WRX BPV-$15
Buying a 38mm EWG tomorrow since it's only 50 bucks, don't think I can pass that deal up

[C.J.]

I think you should buy a stock STi up pipe and wrx header for $50 instead, then all you need to do is get a downpipe

those will help 10x more for getting a turbo setup sooner.

[GC8U]

The heads that I have are single ports, so I can't use stock STi or WRX manifold or up pipe. If Russ can find me a set of dual port heads, I will.

Ordered a 38mm EWG and a WRX oil pump today for 75 bucks, ftw.

[srt-4_uk]

I hope that wastegate is a used part and not a new $50 wastegate.

[C.J.]

^ agreed

[GC8U]

I hope that wastegate is a used part and not a new $50 wastegate.

No, it's not.
http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/partdetails/PIT/Wastegates/Wastegates/38mm/6580

The one I bought was off NASIOC. New, they're only aroud 40-60 dollars cheaper than Tial.

[GC8U]

Exedy Stage 1 kit is here

I'm hoping my crank will be done early this week. I dropped it off a little over a week ago. EWG and oil pump were shipped out the 25th.

[GC8U]

Got some toys in the mail today
http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh200/sloth3636/111_0110.jpg

Called CarQuest on Tuesday and they said my crank and bearings would be ready by the end of the week. So if I don't pick it up tomorrow (Friday), then it should be done Monday for sure.

[GC8U]

Has anyone had bad experiences with CarQuest on West O? I called them today to check and see what was going on with my crank. He said that it was done and I asked how long it's been done for. Apparently it's been finished and my bearings have been there since last Friday. I never got a call from anyone about it being done. I really hope their work quality is better than the service they've showed me.

[GC8U]

Probably gonna have the shortblock 85% assembled by the end of tomorrow. Checked clearances on the rod bearings and they spec'd out. All I have to do is apply some assembly lube, torque it, and the cranks done. Main's are gonna be a ***** to check clearances on cuz I have to torque everything on the block down and then undo it all :pissed:.

[turbodaytona87]

Don't you just torque the main caps?

[GC8U]

What do you mean?

The block splits directly in half, you split the block, put the crank in one half, put the other block half on top of, torque everything down, and then I have to take it all apart again to check clearances. Which will probably end up being exactly what they should be since the crank was just ground and brand new bearings. All the rod bearings were in perfect spec.

[turbodaytona87]

Haha was not thinking that you had a boxer engine

[GC8U]

Haha was not thinking that you had a boxer engine

lol

I have some good news for my car, but probably bad for me. First of all, I'm probably legally retarded, so maybe the gov. will send me some money to fix my car. My valves aren't bent at all. To be honest, I'm not super smart. I figured that both intake and exhaust valves are supposed to be completely sealed, from what I was told by a guy that build motors for race cars for almost 8 years. It makes sense too, because my valves aren't scratched or cracked or anything. So, I just have to wait for a few gaskets, new rings, and put it all back in. I'm gonna stay up till AM everyday. I promise you, I will have this car running and driving by 7 PM of next Friday May 15th, 2009.

[Paul_N]

ok so any new pics is this damn thing done yet wtf

[GC8U]

ok so any new pics is this damn thing done yet wtf
It will be, very soon.

http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh200/sloth3636/PS.jpg
I'm no photographer, so don't judge too much.

[GC8U]

Jesus balls...
CarQuest is the biggest **** hole for a machine shop in this town. They said that the crank would be grounded and bearings would be there for it in a week. It took longer than that but, I can understand that. They have a lot of work to do. But, I called last Tuesday to ask if it was any where near done, and they said it had been done since the Friday before and no one called me to tell me so. Now, they ordered the wrong main bearings, they won't even fit in the block. So I guess I can say goodbye to having my car done this weekend becasue they'll probably take their sweet ass time to get them ordered. The only good that came out of it is that I don't have to pay for new bearings and they did a perty good job on the crank.

[turbodaytona87]

I knew that was gonna be the first thing to point out.

plus lighting sucks azz

[turbodaytona87]

lol

:D

Yeah, I took it at like 2 am. I was out cleaning up my heads and block till like 2 am and decided to snap a couple pics.

[Paul_N]

no flash?

[GC8U]

No, I used a flash.

I just got off the phone with Larry at CarQuest and my new bearings will be there tomorrow at noon. So I guess it all worked out. Not the best experience I've had with a shop but, it could've been much worse and they did a perty good job at making it better in the end.

[Paul_N]

No, I used a flash.

so how much longer?

[GC8U]

Actually, I'm still shooting for this weekend. The bearings will be here tomorrow and I got a killer deal for the rest of my ****. Stephen (dude with the 03 wrx) his name is like SnAkEz or some **** like that, lol. He's gettin me a good deal for parts from a place where he knows the manager and he gets a perty big discount. All I have to do is rock a couple decals on the car. Not a bad deal

[Paul_N]

let me know and then we can go shoot our suby's

[GC8U]

Sounds good
I hope you have a good camera, cuz I have a shitty point and shoot and that's it.

[Paul_N]

D40 nothing too bad

[Paul_N]

how big are the gold rims? and where did u get them?

[GC8U]

They're 16x7's
I got them from a dude that bought a 98 RS and already had a set of wheels for the car. Go look on RS25, there's a couple sets on there for sale.

[GC8U]

I'm supposed to have my piston rings here within the next day or two. I'll be ordering the rest of the parts that I need this week and take the cam seals, cam plugs, and valve stem seals to the machine shop so they can rebuild my heads that supposedly will be done around 3 days after I bring them the parts. So I'm shooting for firing it up not this weekend but, the next weekend.

[Paul_N]

what about the wiring?

[GC8U]

what about the wiring?

What about it?
I'm only doing a shortblock swap. All the harness hooks up to the heads and intake manifold. All the EJ shortblocks have the same sensors so there's no need for a merge.

[GC8U]

Some good and bad news.

Good news is, I got 80 percent of the parts I need to get this thing running. I put the piston rings on two of the pistons and got two of them in the block.

Bad news? I broke 2 rings in the process though :cry:. All because I'm a dipshit who half-assed it and didn't use a ring compressor, I just used my hands.

Supposed to take all the seals and plugs to CarQuest on Wednesday so they can start on my heads.

[Paul_N]

haha fail

[GC8U]

Yup, for sure.

[GC8U]

Dropped off the rest of the seals and plugs at CarQuest today. He said he would start on them on Thursday and they could possibly be done Friday but, I'm assuming they'll be done on Monday or Tuesday. I guess we'll see. Still waiting for my headgasket to get here, throwout bearing clip, and I'm also waiting to have a drain welded onto my oil pan for the turbo.

[GC8U]

Well I ****ed up again
Broke two piston rings and now i have a gash on one of the pistons so, I have to wait for new rings and a different piston.

[srt-4_uk]

maybe just let someone else do it.

[GC8U]

**** that, I started it, I'm finishing it.
Why would I quit because of one slip up? It's not like I completely ruined the whole thing. I know someone that will give me a piston for like 15 shipped and I already have a new set of rings on order. Not trying to be a **** but, I don't like to start things and quit.

[toom1h]

Yeah... I'd rather put my engine together, drive it a couple miles, and realize that 15 dollar mistake turned into a new engine too...

[Paul_N]

lol

sounds like you need to take your time LOL

but then again what do i kno LOL

[toom1h]

LOL


...???

[GC8U]

:headchop:

It's my first engine build, there's gonna be some mistakes. And to be honest, I'd still rather build it myself and even if I do **** it up, I still did all the work myself.

u better hurry the **** up i want to see this damn thing fuk

[GC8U]

It should be done by next weekend. The block will be done and ready probably tomorrow or the day after. Then I just have to wait for the heads and bolt them up.

I picked up a Turbo XS TBE, no axleback though. Also picked up an STi up pipe but, I'm only gonna use it for the flanges.

[Paul_N]

Haha u keep sayin next weekend

Posted via Mobile Device

[GC8U]

I know, lol
But it really is close to being done. The block is gonna be done either tomorrow or the day after. Then I just have to wait for the heads to be done. Bolt them up, time it, drop it in, plug in all of the harness/vaccum lines, fill it with oil/coolant, prime it for oil, and fire it up.

[GC8U]

Block is 95% done.

Just have a couple of pulleys and the tensioner for the timing belt. Gonna call CarQuest monday morning and see if my heads are done yet. I'm still aiming for next weekend.

[Paul_N]

i should be in town

[GC8U]

Oh yeahh
I forgot we're supposed to snap a few when it's done. In that case, I'll get some paint for my wheels and do them when I get some time.

[GC8U]

Today turned into an awesome day for what happened this morning. CarQuest can't order valves, and they want me to. Which is fine but, they should've told me long ago that I would need to order valves and which ones. I knew I would have to but, I didn't know how many of intake/exhaust. Anyways, I'm just gonna pick them up from CarQuest and I'm going to Omaha to pick up another set of heads, a wrx manifold, and an aftermarket up pipe. Oh, did I mention these heads are cammed?
Mmmm, lopey idle

fuk are u just rebuilding or what teh plan with this long ass build

[GC8U]

I was rebuilding but, now I'm kinda going with more of a swap. EJ205 shortblock and Cammed SOHC dual port heads. I'm so excited.

[Paul_N]

EJ205 is that open deck? or w/e

[Paul_N]

boosting right?

[GC8U]

EJ205 is that open deck? or w/e
semi closed, doesn't really matter though. I'm not gonna be putting super duper mega horsepower through it. If I crack a cylinder at a max of 300 hp, I'll sell my car.
boosting right?

I'm breakin in the clutch and motor while N/a, then I'm gonna put the turbo and **** on.

[Paul_N]

why wait might as well get all that **** done at once?

[GC8U]

why wait might as well get all that **** done at once?

because i have no patience or the money for it, i still need the turbo, injectors, em, and i need to notch my x member

[GC8U]

Bolted the heads on today. Along with the intake manifold. Kinda having an issue with the cam gears, I think someone put them on upside down, not sure though. I'll have pics in a bit. It should be ready to drop in within the next couple days.

Anyone with timing belt experience wanna come help with mine?

[Paul_N]

if u have cam heads wouldn't you need a tune?

[JesterMX6]

such a goofy lookin engine :lol:

[GC8U]

if u have cam heads wouldn't you need a tune?

Not necessarily, the turbo guys go with 272 and 280 cams off tunes for a while and they are fine as far as I know. I can just tighten up my throttle cable so it idles a little higher. Besides, the lift isn't THAT high. You probably won't be able to notice the lope until I tell you that there's cams there.

[GC8U]

Got it timed yesterday.

Put the intercooler and the manifold and up pipe on just for shits and gigs.
lol

All I need for this to run is a couple exhaust gaskets, a coolant plug for the block, coolant, oil, oil filter, notch the x member, and rtv the oil pan and bolt it up. So it should be done before Friday.

[GC8U]

Took off my stock exhaust and hung the downpipe and mid pipe today. Oh, and I have another thing to add to the list of needed parts, o2 sensor, because I can't get mine out.

[GC8U]

God damnit...
I have to pull the timing belt off again to get a WRX water pump. The coolant hose from the bottom of it doesn't clear the exhaust manifold. **** me...

[Paul_N]

do you know what your are doing or have a cheat sheet

[GC8U]

I have a cheat sheet.

Plus most of this **** is extremely self explanatory. If you do it once, you can do it easier each time.

[Paul_N]

u sound like a dsm LOL

but did u buy those gloves?

[GC8U]

u sound like a dsm LOL

but did u buy those gloves?

what gloves?


anyways, 1 step forward, 2 steps back. I had the tranny jacked up and forgot about it, i went to do something inside the car and noticed the shifter was weird. I figure it was because the trans was still jacked up. so i lowered it and it was still weird, plus the trans doesn't come all the way down like it's supposed to. i got the shfiter fixed but, the trans still won't come down all the way. i guess i'll take off the trans x member and put it back on to make sure everything is lined up but,that's the only thing I can think of...

[GC8U]

k found my tranny problem. I jacked it up too high and the half shaft pulled out of the cv joint. I'm gnona try to fix it tomorrow morning while it's still cool outside. Still waiting to find a wrx water pump.

[Paul_N]

gloves off 2.5rs

[GC8U]

gloves off 2.5rs

no, i didn't. I never use a glove :D

[GC8U]

Update:
I'm waiting on a water pump, oil, coolant, and an oil filter for this to be running.

[Paul_N]

lol so next weekend ?

[GC8U]

lol so next weekend ?

Lol
Perty much
I just got a call from Russ and he found me a water pump, so I'm probably gonna go pick that up today.

[Paul_N]

what about that subaru shop in omaha?

[GC8U]

what about that subaru shop in omaha?

????
I already got a water pump but, what Subaru shop are you talking about in Omaha. You mean Russ' Garage? That's where I went...

So I just need to time it again, a few little random bolts and that's about it.

[GC8U]

The person I THOUGHT was gonna come help me time it today never showed up. So I didn't get **** done. I sat in the garage and waited for him to come over and he pulled a quick no show/no call on me. Bah.
Whatever, he'll come over tomorrow. Even if I have to pick his ass up. lol
Just gotta time it and fix my axle and it'll be ready to roll.

[Paul_N]
