  1. I sold my 06 LGT two years ago because I had a newborn and a catless car with 400wtq on coilovers that needed time and love that I did not have. I bought a 2012 Audi S4, but unfortunately, I could not find a manual in the timeframe that I had. I like the Audi, and it's a comfortable car that has been reliable, but I miss a manual, and I find it frustratingly slow compared to my LGT. I don't have the time or money to build a beast of a car again, but I would like something a little faster. While the Audi has been totally reliable, I don't like the idea of modding an S4 with 73k miles. I think that a low-mile 07-09 Spec B with a VF52 on E85, tuned by cryo, would be a good compromise. I had that setup for a year, but that was 10 years ago, so I don't remember how it felt. If anyone has that setup, I would be interested in taking a quick ride with you.
  2. Sounds good, thank you. We'll see if I can get the spec b driveshaft quickly and cheaply enough for it to make sense.
  3. Does anyone see a big advantage to have a used Spec B driveshaft instead of a new Dorman Legacy 4EAT replacement? I'm putting down 400wtq.
  4. Gotcha, thanks. It's from a Legacy so it should work. I may have time to take a look next week. The vibration is minor and only when I floor it, so I should have some time.
  5. I think that the 05 4eat driveshaft that I've had on my car is on its way out. I bought a replacement 08 4eat driveshaft, took it to a reputable transmission shop to have them swapped, and they say that the mount is different. Unfortunately I havent had time to take a look myself, but does anyone know if there are differences amongst 05-09 driveshafts?
  6. Anyone know if I can buy an OEM replacement headlight lens without the housing assembly? I have a set of RX300 retrofits that I really like, but one of the headlight lenses was cracked last week. Everything else looks to be in good shape and I would like to avoid swapping everything into another housing. I could also probably get a new headlight, take off the lens, and put it on my old one. I doubt the resale value of the housing assembly without a lens is very high.
  7. There's a Firestone that I used during college while in the Springs. It's on Cascade downtown.
  8. +1 for Scott with Auto Glass Authority. Flexible, quick and cheap. New windshield and molding look great.
  9. Mine blew last summer at around 100k. Here's a pic of 1st gear. I had been stage III for about 40k, but never hard-shifted, never did 1/4 mile runs and almost never dropped the clutch. I always ran Extra-S.
  10. Thanks for the recommendation. I'm assuming the Amsoil is 75w-90?
  11. When I purchased the differential, the vent was missing, so I couldn't tell how clean everything was. I wanted to put a couple thousand miles on it and change the fluid to be sure it's clean.
  12. I want to replace the fluid in my 04 STI R180 differential. I just learned that Subaru has discontinued the 1L LSD fluid, and only sells a 4L can. I do not want to lug around a 3/4 full can of gear oil during my move in a few months. Will Motul 90PA be a good alternative? I've read about it on NASIOC about it, and it seems like the next-best option, but wanted to see if anyone else here is running it.
  13. I had this same problem recently. Try reverse bleeding it by bleeding out of the slave cylinder, but by pushing in the slave cylinder instead of the clutch pedal. That solved it for me after a dozen traditional bleeds. I think since the bleeder isn't the high-point in the system, that's why reverse bleeding may help.
  14. Clutch felt perfect on the way to school, and I'll be leaving in a couple hours, so I'll report back. That's interesting about the Clutchmaster pressure plates. That makes sense, and although I don't mind a left leg workout, it is a nice change.
