  1. so I have everythign apart ....hub bolts are out but hub won't budge.....PB blasted the shit out of it. Hub bolts are back in and now trying tap it out but little hesitant ....not sure how much beating it can take before I mess up threads on those bolts ...not exactly best access to 2 of them so hitting with equal force is not easy either
  2. my stumble was totally removed with custom tune. 08 top feed on stock fueling
  3. Love grimmspeed products and quality so hate to be a party pooper but why the hell invest all this time, effort and tease us for over a year (?) on development process of a part for a car that is at this point 2 generations behind and will soon be all in hands of 2nd/3rd owners that will buy it for cheap and won't be able to or won't feel like investing in expensive aftermarket parts?
  4. very interesting. My bet was on the quality of rotor itself but since the same issue goes on with DBAs maybe it is in fact inefficient use of rotor space by WWs. Heat plus actual clamping stress only on the upper part of the rotor may in fact produce those cracks.
  5. that was my initial thought but it's the oem parts that cause the leak through the band. I used something similar to these: [ame=http://www.amazon.com/62P-Series-Small-Diameter-Clamps/dp/B0037QFPSG/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1392395321&sr=8-1-fkmr1&keywords=ringworm+ssclamp]62P Series Small Diameter Clamps - 62 p 1"-2" micro-gear ssclamp w/1/4" hex [set of 10] - Amazon.com[/ame] couldn't find clamp thin enough to fit inside of the groove so it sits on top of it. It fixed one side, the other one still leaks a little. I will be putting new axles anyway so I will just let it sip slowly.
  6. I used this: [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Sheffield-Tools-58780-Hook-Piece/dp/B002KHNCSS/ref=pd_sim_sbs_hi_4]Sheffield Tools 58780 Hook And Pick Set, 4 Piece - Amazon.com[/ame] on passanger side. No way to get even 1/2 clearance on driver's side
  7. Used it on both cars. Not that I had any issues to begin with but it did.....exactly nothing that I could report back
  8. any progress? By the time you guys are ready to release, 30% of folks here will be bedding in new WRX.
  9. you sure it won't hurt anything? How does it affect octane rating ?
  10. there you go, yeh now I get it. That was my thought exactly but I figured "self-locking" should do its job. No matter what I do though it backs up a little before it locks. Banding back helps sometimes but it stretches the whole locking mechanism. I will try your way. Still have a question though. At the end of the video you are able to lift the tie quite easily with your hands...is that tight enough? I am wondering if simple bolt and nut wouldn't have more holding power (like the original design)
  11. yeh, I tried that video before but it won't play on my PC
  12. what for??? to make it sound like a frickin' fart canned Civic? Power gain minimal to none and with 5th gen headers it will sound like...... any other ricer small displacement 4 banger ???
