Who needs installs done?

[whitetiger]

For those who dont know, I used to be a mechanic who worked at a subaru dealership. If any fellow lgt'ers in and around bergen county, NJ need stuff installed, Id be happy to help out for less then any shop could offer. I have all my tools/air tools at home and can do most stuff in the driveway. I do bolt-ons and basic interior work, no fabrication. Stuff like exhaust, coilovers, swaybars and tower bars, brakes, radio removal, ect... that can be done duing the day. So if you are interested, let me know and ill tell you what i can do for you and what i cant. :)

edit: I prefer not to do full audio system installs. they take along time and i have to rip every panel out the car to run all the wires the right way. You are better off going to a shop for this. I will do single component installs though.

Im gonna try to do two people a day depending on the type of mods im doing. Pm me with any questions or to schedual apointments and ask for pricing.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Special services I can do for you.

Suspension stuff!!

For people who want somthing different than Used spec B/JDM bilstein struts, Crucial/Tirerack.com is selling Koni struts for out cars. The fronts are just inserts that require modifying the the stock front struts to put them in. I am capable of doing this service. If anyone is interested, PM me. IMO the koni struts are alot better than the biltseins since they are designed for use with aftermarket springs. Technically the bilsteins are not designed for that purpose.

I can also do LCA bushings for people. I have an extra set of LCAs which i will swap out with the ones in your car. All you have to do is give me the bushings iin advance of the install day so i can press them in and have them ready.

Cool how far away from NYC is that?

[hassa]

I will def keep you in mind - looking to get an UP/DP installed in the next few months and wasn't sure about tackling it myself.

Other possible mods include: SS lines, springs..????

[whitetiger]

Im 5 minutes over the GWB. Springs a brake lines are no problem.

[coxx]

will def keep you in mind my man. there are some things I can do & alot more I'm reluctant to do myself. I'm real close to bergen too

cool. I can go to you instead of Town :lol:

[whitetiger]

thats where i used to work.:icon_bigg Id be happy to take their business.

[specinvstr]

Excellent. I will probably contact you when I get my UP/DP for installation.

[whitetiger]

No prob. I consider it a chance to meet other lgt'ers and in return spread some of my knowledge and answer questions.

[Nachowang]

What's your rate? Large Pie and a 6-pack per hour? :icon_bigg ... JK

Thanks for offering your services, will def. keep you in mind in the future.

[heightsgtltd]

No prob. I consider it a chance to meet other lgt'ers and in return spread some of my knowledge and answer questions.

Did you take a job at another dealership, other type of job, or are you just taking a break for a bit?

[whitetiger]

I took a job in another field. Mechanics pay was not that great. I found a better job where i get more than twice what i got as a mechanic. But cars are still my passion.

[j255c]

I'll be getting some tein-s-techs in the near future, would you be able to help me out between march 17-25?

[whitetiger]

sure. either on the 18th or 19th.

[Nsaglibene]

Nice your real close to me def. gonna keep in mind for things me and my buddies can't do.

[whitetiger]

Also, if you guys want to organize and have an install day, we can work that out too

[fzanetti]

Man I wish you were in Boston area!!!

heheheheheeheh

Good luck finding customers down there.. I am sure you will have tons of guys looking to install exhausts, up/dp etc etc...

Flavio Zanetti
Boston, MA

[whitetiger]

Im only three and a half hours from boston :icon_wink

[scans007]

Great to see people be'n awesome on these boards offering help.......:D

[whitetiger]

yep, now people just have to take advantage of the offer.

[jerseyglock]

PM you !!

[godwhomismike]

Meet at whitetiger's ;)

[whitetiger]

sure, as long as everyone brings their own jack and jack stands, that would be fine.

[godwhomismike]

Got a BBQ? Have everyone chip in and someone runs to the store and gets some hamburgers, hotdogs, and soda. It'll be the LGT BBQ install meet. :icon_bigg

j/k

[whitetiger]

yes, i do have a grill outside

[j255c]

so whens the official date on this? im only a young 19 year old college student, so i cant buy you guys beer ;)! Ill certainly get some burgers and soda if wanted though.

[whitetiger]

the date is somthing you guys need to organize. satuday and sundays only.

[specinvstr]

Damn you whitetiger, your generosity might force me to get my UP/DP sooner rather than later.

To further take advantage of your generosity, I PM'd you a question.

[whitetiger]

pm'ed back

[whitetiger]

So far, only 1 person will/has taken advantage of my offer. Anyone else?

[specinvstr]

Looks like I am getting my DP this week. Looks like I'll be ordering the UP shortly. We'll be working together in April, no doubt about it. lol

[j255c]

yeah no money.. will need to do springs another time.

[Rubix973]

So far, only 1 person will/has taken advantage of my offer. Anyone else?
I'm interested. I live in Passiac county so I'm close. I'm going to be buying the performance gauge pack within the next week or so. I imagine you could install this? I rather have you do it than the dealer. Let me know. Thanks. ~ Gary

[whitetiger]

shouldnt be too hard to do the gauge pack. Just alot of wire routing and dash removal i suspect.

[Rubix973]

shouldnt be too hard to do the gauge pack. Just alot of wire routing and dash removal i suspect.
Yeah the service guy at the dealership said it would be 5 hours labor. Dont know how much truth that is but I guess it could be. I'll keep ya posted. Thanks~ Gary

[edmundu]

Whitetiger,

Do you have the capability to replace the front lower rear control arm bushings? I'm told they require a hydraulic press to get them out/in... also an alignment afterwards. Anything else I would need to replace them, besides the bushings themselves?

[G.T.Subie]

I got a wedding in April so don't have much time right now to meet up this month.My father in-law works for Anhieser Busch so I got the BEER for free. I would like to meet up sometime though Im thinking of SWAYS and clearing headlights. I live in Hoboken so this would be great for me.

[whitetiger]

Yes, you need a press, which i dont have, for the bushings in the control arm. Swaybars are no problem. Clearing headlights im a bit weary of since i dont have a heat gun, so id have to put them in the oven. Never done that before but if you trust me to do those, i will. as for 5 hours of labor i say bah. I bet i could get it done quicker. trust me, dealers always over estimate that stuff. your average dealer rate is 87-92 dollars an hour. So they are charging over $430 to install those gauges. Ill do it for less than a quater of that.

[Rubix973]

Consider it on like Donkey Kong then! Like i said I'll be ordering the gauges in a week or so (just waiting for my tax return to come back). Thanks~ Gary

[whitetiger]

Ok, PM me when you are ready.

[G.T.Subie]

Consider it on like Donkey Kong then! Like i said I'll be ordering the gauges in a week or so (just waiting for my tax return to come back). Thanks~ GaryWhere did you get the gauges?

[whitetiger]

They sell them at any subie dealer

[G.T.Subie]

Should have known that,Thanks.

[whitetiger]

Just got done installing mudfoot's springs and UP/DP. Who's next?

[G.T.Subie]

I was considering getting the Spec B springs. Got any opinions on them.

[whitetiger]

no opinions, have no experiance eith them. so far ive installed STI pinks, ions and ksport coilovers. Im a fan of coilovers. i think our stock shocks are too soft to control the spring force. But i can put on whatever you want.

[redfly17]

do you do audio work or is that completely out of your field?

[whitetiger]

Yes, i do audio work too

[derffred]

Got a BBQ? Have everyone chip in and someone runs to the store and gets some hamburgers, hotdogs, and soda. It'll be the LGT BBQ install meet. :icon_bigg

damn, you just found your part-time job haha.. i'm a tech for mercedes-benz.. so i can't take advantage of this forum like you are.. and the benz forums aren't as great as LGT Forums :lol:

[whitetiger]

:icon_bigg

[mudfoot]

so far ...........everything is fine...happy camper....did a few runs last night... gonna go check the bolts

[mudfoot]

He has the proper tools to make the job go smooth... he just doesnt have any wd-40:lol:.. but he's a good guy:icon_lol:

[laz]

Good deal! Once I get parts to install I will definitely be next on line. Good thing it is not too far away!

[whitetiger]

thank you :) If anyone has any questions about anything, please feel free to ask. Newbs dont be shy.

[MacLGT-B]

"COBB DOUBLE ADJUSTABLE SHIFTER with the Bushings" is this something you can tackle...
http://cobbtuning.com/legacy/drivetrain-i.html#shifter
I would like it install by April 8 or the 9th, if you have time.

[whitetiger]

easy. i can do it on the 9th.

[G.T.Subie]

Do you charge for this?

[redfly17]

theres no such thing as free in life. He charges a fraction of what you would pay at a Subie dealer.

[whitetiger]

thats right, and the more you help, the less i charge. and if you know how to do stuff but just need access tools and a place to do it, ill chage you almost nothing as long as you do most of the work. Just helping lgters get their parts in as cheap as possible.

[G.T.Subie]

Sounds like a good deal to me, I just need to get parts.:icon_bigg

[whitetiger]

aside from being a good deal, its a good way for you to learn about your cars ins and outs. my real motive is to help people to lean to not be afraid to work on the car themselves. I explain everything i do and i show you everything. You guys all need to see just how easy subarus are to work on.

[godwhomismike]

I bet you don't wanna host a LGT BBQ meet and install day anymore - 26 people - I'm sure your neighbors would love that :eek:

[whitetiger]

I have no problem hosting an install meet. but 26 is a bit much:D

maybe we can figure somthing out during the meet on sunday.

[NYsFinest]

So do we get the parts through you, or I buy all the parts then bring them all over to your place?

[scans007]

Oh ok, heh I'm clueless so I dont' know jack.

[mlrtime]

[whitetiger]

And bring some hot chicks too if its not too much trouble :D

[froggert]

i'm accumulating a bunch of parts. if i bring those and beer, will someone else supply the chicks? :)

i can make chili, too, if it helps. :lol:

chili + chicks FTL! :lol: Braaaap

[j255c]

I am interested in stopping by at some point late may to do my springs + cusco f+r sways. Is this a feasable task for you and I to do alone? Additionally i had an alignment done but it is still somewhat off center, do you know how to do the toe adjustments to make it straight again?

EDIT: Nevermind about the alignment, i was referring to straightening out the steering wheel.

Thanks,
Jeff

[froggert]

jeff, you'll need another alignment after changing springs.

[whitetiger]

Putting spings on is easy. same goes for swaybars. I can straighten out the wheel for you but they are gonna do that anyways when you get your alighnment done after the spring install.

[whitetiger]

ok, just so i can keep track of people's install dates, im gonna keep the 1st post updated with peoples specific dates.

[froggert]

i've got some more parts on the way. will hit you with a pm next week or so when they all show up. :)

[whitetiger]

well, just found out today that JL component speakers are alittle bit of a bitch to install. Redfly17's car is looking nice though.

[specinvstr]

Whitetiger, please put me down for April 29. Crucial UP/DP install. I will PM you with questions. I will confirm the above date once the hockey playoff schedule has been released. :lol:

[whitetiger]

Done. I think im gonna go buy a new creeper. :D

[specinvstr]

Done. I think im gonna go buy a new creeper. :D

Thanks. I think I might as well throw my kartboy bushings on that day...if you don't mind.

[froggert]

sent a pm. :)

[whitetiger]

Right back at you :)

[specinvstr]

sent a pm. :)

froggert, what bag of goodies do you have to install now?:icon_bigg

[froggert]

froggert, what bag of goodies do you have to install now?:icon_bigg

tein flexes, front sway bar, front and rear lower arm bars, steering rack bushings, brembo gran turismo bbk, ss brake lines and rear pads. good thing i have a wagon - dunno that it would all fit in the trunk of a sedan. :icon_bigg

[G.T.Subie]

Planning on getting H TECHS, but I am going to Costa Rica for 10 days:icon_bigg. Maybe the 2nd week in May is good.

[whitetiger]

Looks like May is all booked up for me.

[heightsgtltd]

Do you mind if me or others come and watch you work so to speak?

[whitetiger]

I dont mind at all. if you find watching me monkey around the car entertaining, then sure why not.

[specinvstr]

That is going to be one bad a$$ wagon. You would definitely be making multiple trips in a sedan. :lol: I'll need a ride in the finished product.

[whitetiger]

i get first ride:D

[G.T.Subie]

When are you doing these installs? I wouldn't mind seeing this either.

[whitetiger]

Check the first post in this thread.

[j255c]

[MacLGT-B]

Sure, no problem. thats easy. Pick a day on my list.

Put me down for June 3, ("AVO Boost Gauge Pod").

[bluechipbmw]

speaking of boost gauge. would be able to install the VEI guages? I am interested in having it installed the same exact way as Yamie700 (http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22003&page=18 You may have to scroll half way down to see his pics. I really like his set up in the cubby hole. Let me know if this is possible. Thanks

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a153/yamie700/LegacyGTcom%20stuff/2005_12171219050045.jpg

[lhsa]

you got PM!

[whitetiger]

Yes, i cant install them as long as i dont have to fabricate the bezel for the guages.

[whitetiger]

Install completed today for specinvstr in record time 3.5 hours for UP/DP and shifter bushings.

whitetiger did a great, quick job. Plus he didn't mind me hovering around and he answered all my questions as he plugged away. Stg 2 is awesome:icon_twis

[SpawnGT]

hey...how much for an UP and DP install? and how far are you from Long island zip code 11743. Someone on another forum recommended you, but i only found you on legacygt.org, until today.

[whitetiger]

my zip is 07666. PM me for price questions.

[whitetiger]

Opened up another couple of days for anyone who is interested.

[G.T.Subie]

Did someone cancel?

[whitetiger]

No, the not-available day are days that auto-x's are schedualed. so since that is my fun day of the weekend, the open days are the sunday of that weekend.

[SpawnGT]

whitetiger if i can take dibs on the 28th instead of the 10th id love to have my install done 2 weeks earlier. PM me back or respond here with responce, but once again, id love the install earlier.

[whitetiger]

I think im gonna have to use the 28th as a reschedual day for froggert. it looks like rain this weekend.

[SpawnGT]

yea i saw that, if it ends up being open after this weekend then if u can please put me for that date, but otherwise then keep me for the 10th. Thank you.

[whitetiger]

sure

[whitetiger]

Froggert's car is done. Boy am i jealous if all the goodies he has. The car feels great to drive.

[whitetiger]

Still have a couple of days open. any takers?

[mlrtime]

I'm just about ready, last piece is a amp rack. I have no idea how I'm going to make one.

Anyone in the area have plans for a amp rack I can use or any suggestions?

[Precise]

can you install a lip spoiler that needs holes to be drilled in the trunK?

[lhsa]

put me down for 6/10, preferably early as possible for, for UP/DP/springs:icon_bigg

[SubLo]

Nice offers. Good to see someone being generours and enthusiastic.

I'm ordering the Cobb STS and bushings. I an mechanical engineer (studied it anyway) but work in the computer industry. I have lots of car experience. I grew up in a house and always worked on my cars. The dummy I am now, I live in an apartment and have a private parking spot. Problem is, I'm not allowed to work on my car there :( .

Can you do the bushing and shifter install? If so, how much?

Thanks! :icon_lol:

[whitetiger]

Yes, that is easy. PM for price questions

[G.T.Subie]

.

[whitetiger]

Well, it looks like all my dates are full. Not sure what im doing after june but if i have any open weekends, i will post them. And as always, if anyone has any questions about how to install stuff, feel free to ask.

[whitetiger]

Well, heres to another satisfied stage 2'er. SpawnGT is complete and in record time too. I did his UP/DP/intake silencer removal in 2 hours flat. Thats got to be a record for driveway work :D

[SpawnGT]

WHITETIGER IS THE MAN!

A real professional with installs.

[Precise]

if any dates do free up, I'm thinking about picking up an STi replica rear lip trunk spoiler that will need to be installed. It needs holes to be drilled and such and I think its gonna be ready to get put on at the end of JUne. Let me know about any free dates

[whitetiger]

sorry, but i dont do bodywork. I dont want to be put in the position of making a mistake.

[dplacen]

I need work done to my car.:icon_bigg hahaha!!!!

[whitetiger]

[dplacen]

yeah!!!

[whitetiger]

maybe you want to help people out too like im doing.

[whitetiger]

Still have one day open. Anybody interested?

[red beast]

I'm definitely gonna need brake lines and pads.

but which ones for the red beast
nothing wild as far as the pads. i don't autocross the bitch.
front and rear
hawk hps? front hb432f... rear hb434f
http://www.hawkperformance.com/parts/search.php?year=2005&make=SUBARU&model=OUTBACK&show_street=yes&Submit=Find+Parts+%3E%3E

brake line best fitment? (no zip ties)
goodrich?
tecnafit?
cobb?


i would still like to use the standard fliud in case i decide to give the car up after the lease. this way i won't have to bleed them and replace the fluid.

[whitetiger]

well, If you want me to do them, pm me and secure the last date i have open.

[red beast]

i don't have them yet.

what would you recommend?

[whitetiger]

Im not that familiar with brack pad compound but as far as lines go, i like the way the goodridge lines fit the best. I have the goodridge lines and Cobb pads on my car.

[red beast]

Im not that familiar with brack pad compound but as far as lines go, i like the way the goodridge lines fit the best. I have the goodridge lines and Cobb pads on my car.



but you have a gt. i wonder how much they differ?

[whitetiger]

the lines are the same for both i think. For the pads, i hear good things about the Hawk HPS pads.

[red beast]

i found a thread for the hawk pads.

seems people are waiting for the rears to come out

i have 20,000 miles on my rotors. will the surface have to be "scuffed" for better embedment?

http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23760&page=3


and i read posts in the past that some opinions stated that for street use you really don't need the mutol brake fliud because you don't reach the same temps as for autocross?

[whitetiger]

I would have the rotors resurfaced for the the best break in. Too bad i dont have a brake laithe or id do it for you. I agree that you dont need the super fluid if you arent racing.

[gibjer]

How many of thie Goodridge lines have you installed on the legacies?

Have you run into any leaking problems?

[red beast]

looks like techna fit brake lines may work but not the others.

emailed..awaiting response from them.


and nobody has the rear brake pads yet but the fronts would work.


emailed hawk

on dry pavement you can press hard on the brakes and it doesn't hit the abs. it just comes to a slow halt with the pedal mushing down.

in wet the abs comes on quick.

thanks again, whitetiger. he completed an sti UP, cobb DP and suspension swap in 4 hours. he also has a nifty trick to do the UP install without lifting the engine. the power is absolutely infectious and i've reached my power goals (faster than my stock STI). he's a great guy. hopefully he'll have more install availability in the future!

I dont even know anymore, some crazy brand. I have installed the ones from http://www.xenondepot.com/ on my mother's old volvo, which oddly enough uses H7 bulbs just like the LGT and they work great.

Got time to install a boost guage in the cubby? Just trying to get a tube to reach.

[whitetiger]

I have no problem running the tube for you. PM me for a day request.

[whitetiger]

Bump^

[underpowerd]

well done, tiger, thanks :)

[whitetiger]

[Effin Ponderous]

Sorry man, still waiting for my H-Techs. You don't do the grill conversions, do you?

[whitetiger]

No, no fabrication, only bolt on stuff.

[derffred]

I'm in the Pompton Lakes/ Wayne area, Passaic county. I'm willing to drive though. I'd appreciate your help.

i live in pompton lakes.. lol the ONLY LGT i see around here from this forum is either Chruisser, or Edmundu

[derffred]

hey whitetiger... which HID kit do you have on your car? ever since you helped me with my exhaust, and the track night, i've admired your setup... do you have a link?

I have the Xetronic HID 6000K. they are pretty crappy. You are beter off getting a set from xenondepot.com. I ve installed those before and they are awsome.

[whitetiger]

Still have open spaces available. Anyone interested?

[Effin Ponderous]

It looks like they are finally shipping my teins, so I may be bugging you soon

[whitetiger]

PM me when you are ready to pick a day.

[dplacen]

I need an install! HA HA!!!

[whitetiger]

You need a slap:lol:

[lhsa]

sent you a pm

[whitetiger]

bump^ 9/24 is open for any takers

[derffred]

hey whitetiger.. i don't have a specific date.. but my buddy is sending over Lexus Bi-Xenon lights. how would you feel about clearing, blacking out, and retrofitting my headlights?

[whitetiger]

i dont like to do headlight modification becuase if i mess up, i cant fix them, especially since ive never done them before.

[john_galt]

wow... quite a resource we all have here. I'll be sure to come back to you, white, when i actually get my LGT. I'm planning on going stage 2, along with supporting break and suspension mods, so i'll have some work for you eventually. How far would you be from West Point?

Also, how often are you available (if ever) on weekends? Those will be the only days I'm free to come down because of school and duty. Thanks!

[onesillyracer]

maybe i can use your assistance in tightening the bolts on my h brace since im mechanically retarded.

[G.T.Subie]

Could you do my Brake Bleed?

[whitetiger]

sure. Pm me....

[G.T.Subie]

sure. Pm me....

[whitetiger]

Still got day open. Who wants 'em

[mikenj]

Hey guys - don't delay. Whitetiger is an expert on our cars - here is a mini writeup of what he did for me:

http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?p=736500#post736500

Whitetiger, you really did an awsome job! :icon_bigg

[CiViCKiDD]

Hmm i'm a future legacy owner (waiting for finance incentives to roll in on the 07's), but my current daily driver (99 civic) needs to have motor mounts replaced, and i'm also toying with the possibility of swapping the stock suspension out and dumping something better in there.

Any way you'd be able to help out with something like this?

[whitetiger]

Only subarus please... give me a ring once you get a LGT.

And thanks mikenj

[CiViCKiDD]

:(

[whitetiger]

sorry, but i have no experiance on hondas and i dont want to be working on your car and mess somting up and have you be stuck in my driveway.

[G.T.Subie]

Can you still do my brakes on Sunday?

[whitetiger]

sure. hopefully it wont rain again.

[The Don]

White Tiger lets shoot for sep. 9th for a radar an boost gauge. Is that good for you

[whitetiger]

I have the 10th available, not the 9th. do you want the 10th?

[Rubix973]

I have the 10th available, not the 9th. do you want the 10th?
Dont forget about me on the 10th :)

I guess I'll get your address as the date gets closer?

Also the earlier we can get this done the better.

[whitetiger]

[mlrtime]

I was going to try and do the boost guage on the 10th as well.

[The Don]

[whitetiger]

[The Don]

[derffred]

hey whitetiger... remember when we installed my uppipe and downpipes in the spring? well my uppipe started leaking last weekend lol.. so on sunday i'm gonna replace the gasket with an oem instead of crucial's copper and do a 30k :)

[whitetiger]

the UP to manifold gasket? those alwasys leak. i wish subaru had made that connection with a 3-bolt flange.

[heightsgtltd]

Are you doing installs in October or later in the fall?

I am thinking of doing front and rear sways, tired of the rollll. PM me with how much to install.

[derffred]

the UP to manifold gasket? those alwasys leak. i wish subaru had made that connection with a 3-bolt flange.

yea.. it's getting worse and worse lol.. my exhaust is hurtin right now.. my stock resonator is rattling, my uppipe is leaking and getting worse by the boost, and my hogzawst is getting buzzy lol.. this sunday i'm fixing the uppipe leak and doing a 30k.. you recommend any specific gear oil for my trans and rear diff?

[dplacen]

Check your pm whitetiger!

[whitetiger]

ok. but it better not be for an install request. if i have to help you put parts on your car, then you need to find a new job :lol:

Light clearing party

[whitetiger]

Ive never cleared headlights, but i can take the bumper off and remove the lights for you, butsince i have no heat gun, you guys can put the headlights in the oven at your own risk.

I'm down...how many lgt's can we mess up on???? who's the guinnea pig?

[whitetiger]

who's the guinnea pig?


indeed..

[bobo69]

what about these new fulcrum lca bushings that seem to be all the rage with the kids these days whats your fee for that sir

[whitetiger]

well, i dont have a press, so i cant really do it. what i can do, is take out the control arms for you and drive you to a place that can do them, or maybe they will let me do them there for you.

[lhsa]

josh, definitely check out that option because i know many people will be upgrading the bushings, present company included:)

[motoracer]

give the control arm to me and i'll press em in 4 ya
