  1. Man , since 69! They probably have seen the place change so much over time! I had a 2005 LGT and put 165k on it. Sold it last October. Definitely a fun car , but Subaru lost me with the way the styling and lack of GT model in the current lineup. Plus , rattles.
  2. Key thing here is that for the sway bar , it is better to take the weight off the suspension to work those brackets. Either use ramps to keep the suspension compressed or take the wheels off of you are using jack stands. Then you can use your jack to compress the shock as much as you need to get the bolts to line up
  3. Cool. I get that a higher cell cat will reduce the smell for sure. I wouldn't be surprised though if the CNT did indeed pass emissions. If I remember correctly, MD is a idle sniffer test state. Just make sure the car is warmed up to operating temperatures, and it should pass just fine at idle. What does OBDII compliant mean anyways? Does that mean you won't pull a CEL without tuning?
  4. What does being an OBDII compliant cat mean? Why does it even matter? I have a feeling that there is some kool-aid being drank here claiming that one catted DP is "better for the environment" than another DP. I'll give you that there are differences in the quality of cats...that's always going to be the case when they come from different manufacturers. But what metric is being used to determine "better for the environment". Anyways you look at it, that GrimmSpeed DP is modifying the emissions system and removing one cat in the downpipe from a system that was designed to have two cats in the DP. The claim that it is 49-state legal is dubious...no where on the Grimmspeed website does it state that. The website does state: "GrimmSpeed aftermarket downpipes modify OEM emissions control devices and are intended only for off-road racing applications." Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying don't go with a catted downpipe...but if you're replacing a perfectly good catted DP with another catted DP for the reasons stated, I feel that's a lot of work for zero gain. Unless I have missed something entirely.

  7. I notice you are in Bmore...is it convienent at all to get to Gaithersburg? I have no vested interest in DPS Tuning, other than getting great service there for my clutch job and timing belt job, at a great price. To do the belt, idlers, tensioner, water pump, thermostat, and gaskets my TOTAL was right around $960. That is HALF what your dealer is asking for. Not sure if you need a coolant flush? Since I had recently completed my 90k service, I believe DPS just dumped my coolant and reused it since it was good. Anyways, if going to Gaithersburg is good for you, I suggest giving them a ring.
  8. So I am dropping this off to be done tonight... In addition to the belt, these items are recommended to be replaced too: Water Pump Thermostat Timing Belt Tensioner The 4 Idler Pullies (If they look bad) My question is... The Water Pump I know of, I will replace that. And the Timing Belt Tensioner, I will replace that too. What about the T-Stat...is that necessary, or is it of such marginal cost, that it just makes sense to replace it anyways? The pullies i'm at the mercy of the shop..."if they look bad"
  9. I'm in the same boat here ...56k and counting...squeaky seat just came back. I had it a couple of years ago, but after i adjusted the seat it went away...now its back.
  10. I was up in the Utica, Michigan area this past weekend on M-59 Ran into a RBP LGT. Debadged (had some badge on the back...couldn't tell what tho, definitely wasn't stock), rims, RBS grill in the front. I was the SWP, w/ Hids, Yellow Fogs, Rims, Tint, Debadged.
  11. What's up man. Just saw your thread for the cubbypod w/gauge. You move out of Socal?
  12. fyi: I am looking to trade trunks if God help me is no longer interested.
  13. Alright, I am taking the metaphor too far... I just the smaller version of the "pix". The one that outlines all the part numbers. Any help?
