USLiberty Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Reinstalled my SS spoiler and trunk, trunk is still in primer. I am not sure I'm going to go with the wing or wingless yet. I'm thinking ill drill the wingless trunk since its all painted and paint the wing white. http://i1065.photobucket.com/albums/u386/onefastlt/IMG_20140211_150441_zps15900a77.jpg http://i1065.photobucket.com/albums/u386/onefastlt/IMG_20140211_150414_zpsf68142cf.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyposeur Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I'm a fan of the SS spoiler. Didn't do it today but last weekend replaced the power steering pump oring as well as one of the line orings and an oil change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleaidestar Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Got my trans back into place after a cleaning and spliced in another oem radio and speaker harness after some punk ripped my radio out..put the center console and everything back together as well. Got a motor stand and getting ready to put my motor back together finally in hopes of driving itbthe auto x season opening in march here. Still have to replace the stem seals and put valves in a head, but secured all my gaskets seals and fluids this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleaidestar Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I like spoilers on the sedans too, the bd style trunk wing would probably look really good on the ss too. I think they are a classy looking spoiler pretty subtle also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put my badges on the ashtray inside too, don't like many stickers and on the outside of the car, five badges fit perfect on the tray and doesn't look bad or cheap either.

USLiberty Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I did a side project, ended up being a little more work than I anticipated. Did a heater core on a 06 sti, so many aftermarket goodies, defi gauges, radar jammer, security system and a whole bunch more. I did get to drive it for about 45 minutes and it hauls ass! Aps sr55 turbo kit detuned to only 350whp. http://i1065.photobucket.com/albums/u386/onefastlt/IMG_20140213_125853_zps61eca236.jpghttp://i1065.photobucket.com/albums/u386/onefastlt/IMG_20140214_173146_zps1c495de9.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcmaxx Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Finally installed forester subframe spacers , forester arm bushings and steering coupler. For some reason the coupler was to long. Had to cut it down, sleeve and weld it. Cv axles are happy. And no longer making mean noises on accell and hard turning. Removed and relocated some underhood parts. Installed fuel pressure regulator.http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee110/bcmaxx/20140315_181054_HDR_zps0114956f.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnstrmech Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Finally solved an intermittent driveability issue i was having. http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s305/sadiemaerogers01/0318141253_zps6bf6bfec.jpg I switched the coil end of the wires last june to try the MSD coil, but i wasn't happy with the coil, so i switched the coil end of the wires BACK to stock and put the stock coil back in..... yet found the coil end of the wires all rusted and corroding.... So i got a new coil and set of wires.... which also seemed to fix a slight vibration issue during this specific rpm band i was having, plus so far solved the random dying... On a side note, i also got http://www.surrealmirage.com/vrg3/b10scan/ this to work, using an old laptop to read data and trouble codes.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiNiaRiS Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) I spent quite a bit of time today on two small things. I replaced my wiper stalk with an intermittent one out of an LSi I found at a yard last summer. Not the easiest part to get to, haha. I also took off my front bumper to repaint my front mount. http://i.imgur.com/EIRV2yq.jpg http://i.imgur.com/S3jbsqq.jpg http://i.imgur.com/VYaJBXj.jpg Edited April 9, 2014 by BiNiaRiS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcmaxx Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I know you can order individual transmission components from the dealer. Usually we take it apart, Identify the bad parts and order them, and all the bearings, along with seals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
