  1. P/N for the screw that holds the fuel injector in place..? I stripped the torx head on one, not realizing my bit didn't fit right. For some reason I can't find the injectors in the manual diagrams anywhere.
  2. Holy crap! I don't think I'd let a snake that size get close to my kid that size! The nom nom nom could easily be going the other way, like for real!
  3. I *almost* pulled the trigger on this look earlier this year. I rear-ended another car, not too bad, but ended up needing a new bumper, hood, grille, and two new headlights. So I thought about updating to the '08-'09 look. But I would have had to buy both new fenders and the new foglights out-of-pocket, and I couldn't justify that cash outlay, on top of my damn deductible.
  4. Interesting! I'm the complete opposite: I think the '08-'09 front end looks higher class, but I greatly prefer the '05-'07 taillights. Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks. Pretty sure the '07's have the top feed injectors; those came with the airpump, VF46, and other engine changes.
  5. Any of you interested in Pelican Cases to protect your camera gear? I work for them (Torrance) and would be willing to buy stuff at my cost for you local guys. My contribution to the Forum. PM me if interested, and I can tell you approximately what my cost would be for a given case. Still won't be cheap, but will be a whole lot less than your local camera shop! http://www.pelican.com/
  6. Well, there is a range of VIN #'s that are affected. I'd say take your car to a dealer (maybe a different one, if the one you talked to before doesn't seem helpful), and have them pull up & print out TSB 09-43-06R for you. Then compare your VIN to the ones listed on the TSB. If yours falls into that range, then they have no choice but to fix it for you. EDIT: Actually, I guess this is a Recall Campaign now, so ask to see WVB-12. Ling to TSB: http://www.scoobymods.com/tsb-09-43-06r-t7230.html
  7. For the gentlemen on Kodiak Island, you can just order the new relay and replace it yourself very easily. Chances are your ECU is fine to drive for now, but then later when you get a chance to take the car to a dealer you can have the ECU replaced per the TSB. If you keep your receipt for the Relay then the dealership should even reimburse that cost for you. From the beginning of this thread: Might have to search this thread some more to confirm that 82501AG120 is the correct, current part number for the new relay; I tried a couple of online vendors and couldn't find it using that P/N, so maybe it has changed again..?
  8. If you've got an impact wrench, there's a good chance you can spare your screwdrivers: just blast away and the nut will probably uncrimp itself. Never realized this until recently, when I watched my favorite Subie mechanic do this so he could pull the rear axles and remove my rear diff. I was somewhat shocked at how ridiculously easy that was, as I have struggled mightily with this nut in the past. Also, for those looking for cheap replacement axles, I got mine from MacAuto for $67 shipped: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/halfshaft-work-05-lgti-130785p2.html They may be out of stock still, as I didn't see them on their website last time I looked. But you could call or email them to find out.
  9. Nah, I decided to go JDM, yo! I'm talking with Rallitek & AVO about getting some super-special JDM O-Rings shipped over here. Or I might try to source directly and buy a couple thousand of them and start my own Group Buy!
  10. Wow, your Searching skills own me! Thanks - I found the P/N of the O-ring I need in that 3rd link. 22656AA020 Subaru Bypass Valve Gasket It's $3.18 at Fred Beans. Unfortunately, shipping comes up at $14.25, so I need to find one elsewhere. FWIW, I'm going to claim that my car never had one of these. I really don't believe that I could have 'lost' it. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
  11. Pulled the BPV this morning and it is definitely leaking a bit, and there is definitely NOT a gasket or O-ring there. There's a channel molded into the base of the BPV that looks like it could maybe hold an O-ring, but there's nothing there. Can anyone else confirm if there is supposed to be an o-ring or gasket on the stock BPV where it mates to the IC?
  12. Installed a Perrin TMIC (bought used) today, and the fit wasn't too bad. The IC sits at a slight angle, left to right, but everything bolted up fine. Question: should I have a gasket between the IC and the stock BPV? After I took a drive to make sure everything was good, I noticed a tiny bit of oil on the IC at this joint, and was thinking I may have a very slight leak there. I didn't want to torque those two bolts down too hard because they go into aluminum, of course. If I see oil again tomorrow, I might just try loosening and re-tightening to square it up, but I was thinking I might need a gasket, as well. Thought?
  13. ^^ Sorry, that wasn't clear: I loaded a different base map than what I was running before.
  14. Yeah, I kinda figured that out just now. I unhooked the battery to clear the realtime and then loaded just the Cobb base map. Then when I went to "Show Current Map" it showed the base map as the current map for both base and realtime, even though I didn't load a realtime map. Just wasn't totally sure it was OK to run an identical realtime map over top the base map. Thanks for the replies!
