  1. I haven't gotten my car in yet, but plan to take it to SubaPerformance downtown. Their prices were on par with other places ($1400 - $2000), and they do awesome work (they did my engine rebuild).
  2. Same - might have to give it a try!
  3. I'm interested! I have water spots that need to be polished out. I thought I'd be able to just claybar them out, but that did nothing but make the surface smooth
  4. Yeah, I thought it sounded good too. Doubt they'll let me keep the old parts - whenthey rebuilt my engine, part of the low cost is from them keeping the old parts for use elsewhere... But it never hurts to ask!
  5. Hahaha - I did talk to Suba, and they think they can swap it for $1400 - $2000 (2000 being a replacement of all the gears!). So far I haven't found better than that. For now, I'm just avoiding 5th gear, which isn't to hard with the 6 speed.
  6. Any update on getting the transmission rebuilt? My 5th gear synchro is starting to go, and the stealership wants $5k to tear into it!!
  7. Thanks for the explanation! It still doesn't fit from a thermodynamics standpoint, but I understand why you went that direction. But, the stock intercooler inlet / outlet sizes don't make sense either, so who am I to complain.
  8. I'm hoping someone can satisfy the engineer in me for why the cold side piping is larger diameter than the hot side. Putting on my thermodynamics hat, colder air is more dense, and thus needs less volume to maintain the same pressure. Seems that larger cold side piping would just result in a larger pressure drop, thus resulting in the classic decreased throttle response... Am I missing something? If the cold side was a smaller diameter pipe, it would also resolve the tight fit with the stock battery.
  9. Great props to Troy and Ryan at Suba - like usual, they did an awesome job building me a new engine. Then, on the way home, I got stuck in the hail storm, and now have a bunch of dimples on the roof (just the roof - hood and trunk survived without issue). Can anyone recommend a good dent popper? And what should I expect to pay to get 10-12 dents outs?
  10. I don't think I agree with that priority. I'm willing to pay more (< $80) to ensure good fitment and reliable materials. While cost is important (as this is completely non-functional), if it looks like crap or doesn't fit right, no one will buy a set. I think people will be willing to pay a little more for quality - at least, I would.
  11. ^ Mod the bumper as cut it all up? No thanks... I'd rather not hack apart a perfectly good bumper, especially if these become available for $45!!!
  12. I would totally be in on this if you can get them produced that cheaply and they look like the JDM versions!!!
  13. Just wanted to put in a good word for Revolutions Performance down in Colorado Springs. They were able to get my LSD installed for $300 (when paired with a clutch replacement). By far the cheapest I could find in town. Not only that, but they were able to fix my crappy idle issue - ended up being a loose hose. Now I just need to figure out how to get back my $400 from the Go Subaru South for their incorrect diagnosis and "failed" O2 replacement (BTW - I will not be taking my car back to Go Subaru South ever - this is the second time they've screwed me over on a simple troubleshooting session). In the end - many thanks to Revolutions Performance!
  14. Then you missed page 1. ;-) Just go to gtboostgauge.com, and select the VBG1. I was even glad to see that lossol has the vaccuum tubing and T-fitting for the boost guage.
