  1. Replaced fuel tank. Ended up replacing fuel pump and filters. Needle-scaled rear subframe and repainted the top of it. I’ll get the bottom if it warms up again. Adjusted the exhaust so the right side doesn’t poke out past the bumper. Replaced drivers side front caliper and rotor. Bled/flushed the whole brake system with new fluid. Gonna data log cylinder roughness so I know which coil packs to replace next. Planning on relocating the fpr reference at some point. Still need to go through and swap out all the emissions sensors solenoids and valves. Needs an alignment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Then there’s me watching too many Rob Dahm videos and pondering a 3-rotor swap. [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Polished headlights again. Got one of those mothers powerball headlight things and 3 kinds of plastic goop. Did a partial ATF replacement. Used SSM to ensure fluid was at 170°F before calling “full hot” good. Winter tires and rims are on. It’s due for an oil change. I’ll let the dealer do that. I like when they look everything over and give me a shit list. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. I just top it off with whatever full syn 5w30 has pretty packaging that looks shiny. [emoji2369] Everything’s $10USD/Qt anyway. Just no dollar store oil. That’s for my Chevy…. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. I was having brutally harsh 2-4/3-4 upshift when chopping the throttle at 60mph from a WOT pull. Previous owner had put a parts store engine oil filter where the genuine Subaru Tokyo-Roki AT fluid filter is supposed to go.. Seems to have taken care of the issue. Might be too good to be true tho.. kinda early to know for sure. Still needs a fluid and pan filter swap. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Jeff 2005 BSM LGTLTD 5EAT Sedan “GT 2.5” debadge, catback (came with the car), Spec B struts and springs, 55w 5000K HiD low beams, rust. Lots of rust. Lots and lots of rust. 188,000 miles. Butler(ish), PA I have crank and timing pulley holders, and I’m not afraid to use them. Ever wish you had an inch-pound torque wrench? I’m the guy who has one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Yeah I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if the inlet is buggered up. Never seen an old one that wasn’t. I’ll hook up the laptop and log these values. It definitely needs 4 coil packs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. WTB rust-free BSM wingless lid. Will drive up to 2 hours radius from Pittsburgh. Unless you’re in Providence, RI or Akron, OH (I go there for work) I also occasionally end up in Nashua, NH (late late) Hit me DM’s up if you have anything? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Today… spark plug day. No video or walkthrough I’ve reviewed prepared me for the shit storm I endured. Well, my right bicep got a hell of a workout at least. Every plug was overloaded with antiseize to the point the threads were jammed up with the stuff and every plug came out one ridiculously tight 15° ratchet crank at a time. Broke the ceramic on #3 (unless it may have already been broken…?) Replaced the coolant hose from the reservoir to the top of the turbo with a new OE hose. Replaced the 3” exhaust flange gasket that crumbled on the axle back exhaust. Had to replace the rear passenger side outer hard line.. need new rear calipers, I have no functional bleeders. Regardless, my P0303 went away and the car has brakes again. [emoji2369] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. What items should I monitor with SSM? I have that. I was logging with romraider recently just to gauge overall health and everything looked great… until it didn’t. I haven’t logged anything since it threw the code. No time. It’s been parked because a brake line burst. I just got that fixed up, but now the stupid brake warning light is still on for whatever reason. Yes I replaced the line with an oem part and used Subaru brake fluid and bled the system.. as best I could, considering the bleeders are all frozen solid and the bleeding was done at the new line fitting.. Starting to wonder if this thing might be a bad investment. I keep finding nastiness. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. So today I’m on my way to work and suddenly any time I’m in the throttle even slightly aggressive the car hesitates and lurches like the throttle is slamming shut at More than 60% pedal input. Car has 187,000 miles and might be on factory spark plugs. What else should I be changing out? I have a vag-com and rom raider so I can log it, but I don’t have enough experience with rom raider to know how to review the logs or what I should specifically be logging. Like.. if I just floor it, it stumbles then tries to haul ass then stumbles again. It’s just.. idk, acting like the throttle blade is slamming shut. The CEL flashes while it does this but goes away when I calm down. I was under the car earlier putting screw clamps on the heat shields and hosing down all the rust with spray galvanizer. Could overspray have gotten into something? It has been prefect and rock solid since I bought it in March, so this is kind of abrupt and I’m not sure where to start.

  12. WTB EJ255/257 In good running order. Preferably attached to a 5EAT that also works. I have a feeling mine is on its way out.. it would be handy to have a spare ready to drop in. (‘05 LGT) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Idk if I’m in here yet, but.. Evil03 [Jeff] Pittsburgh PA area 05 LGT 5EAT Silver Sedan 187,xxx miles Used to have a really nice black/black/black ‘06 LGT 5MT sedan but it got destroyed in a garage fire. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Got one of these, too. Mines all busted up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Waiting for a new lower bolt.. kinda snapped that in half, but specB fronts on today to match the rears I did earlier this week. Edit: had to get the bolt from a dealership 50 miles south, but I have a friend who drives Uber… sooooo… [emoji51][emoji1787][emoji1787] All in all, relatively painless. Feels tighter. Needs a touch-up on the alignment, then on to the next issue… this past Tuesday I welded the basketball-sized hole in the trunk shut with old computer cases for filler metal. Need to figure out muffler mount for the right muffler since that rotted off… spark plugs… some other odds and ends. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
