  1. In my doors, I actually put it on the outer skin rather than the inside part. So I still have access to everything.
  2. hehe. Yeah I decided to do it before I needed to pick my daughter up from school. Bad decision, but I did get it in with only a little time to spare. Do wish I could put her child seat in my miata to pick her up
  3. Yeah I got the screw back in. Anything worth doing is worth doing right... Either way, I don't think it would work great with only 2 screw in.
  4. My method took me about 1.5 hours. spending about 40+ minutes just trying to reach the screw and turn it with the drill bit extension
  5. 72131AJ09A ttps://parts.subaru.com/p/Subaru__/HVAC-Air-Inlet-Door-Actuator/49280685/72131AJ09A.html PITA to install. Either LITERALLY take apart the whole dash to get at the top screw. Or what I did was use a boroscope camera attached to my phone (To see the screw head) and a flexible drill bit extension (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0822K6GN8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) to get to the top screw.
  6. Your best bet would be to find a crashed 5th gen GT and swapping over everything including the pedal box, clutch master/slave and wiring harnesses. Would be completely straight forward and you'd be best off getting the brakes from it as well. You may have more luck finding a H6 donor and you take the driveline from that (Although still stuck with an automatic) Physically, the EJ255 from the 5th gen LGT and an 08+ STI are very similar. Both have dual avcs and the same shortblock with the only real difference being that the STI EJ257 gets a better exhaust cam (Which you can swap over) Aside from that, the LGT has a 2 piece oil pan with an oil scavenge pump for the low mount turbo, plumbing and a difference in how the engine mounts. The Legacy doesn't have a traditional engine cradle and engine mounts the Impreza chassis do.
  7. Yeah a boost spike like that at WOT may be telling of an issue with the wastegate. Could be too small, or there is a mechanical issue causing it to not open fully. Could be the boost control solenoid as well since that controls what the wastegate sees. Could be helpful to do some logging and see what the wastegate duty cycle is when you're overboosting.
  8. You can try driving that corner up a ramp or curb if you don't have anything. getting under and pulling back on the dust shields on all sides might help. It could likely be a failing wheel bearing or just loose lugnuts as well.
  9. I know it doesn't solve your problem. But I got one from here for my GT while I waited for my Primitive Skid Plate https://www.carid.com/2011-subaru-legacy-chassis-frames-body/replace-engine-cover-83727922.html This is what they have listed for the 3.6R Super cheap at $32 at my door in 2 days.
  10. I don't hear anything out of the ordinary. No bearing nose, no lifter tick. Make sure your oil levels are good and drive it. What noise do you think you hear?
  11. dang! Tough break. But I'm happy the shortblock I sold you looked like it was in decent condition
  12. You don't need to take any of the dash apart aside from the little kick panel by the driver's pedals. A couple screws and clips. I've run gauges and installed amps. I don't remember which exact grommets I used, but there are a few that have plenty of space to fit things through. Poke a hole with a coat hangar or use a long pick(it's important to keep the hole as small as possible) and shine a flashlight from the engine bay and stick your head in your footwell and look up to figure out which grommet it is. This hasn't taken me more than 15 minutes to run a wire, it's just a matter of effort really. Although those cable glands are good, they're overkill and drilling the hole is more effort than needed. (I actually used those in some of my Industrial Automation projects, test beds and demos in MCCs (Motor control centers) panels and the like.
  13. *shrug* I kind of assumed the Torque Solutions one is similar but the Kartboy one took me 20 minutes to do https://www.kartboy.com/products/subaru-6-spd-arm-w-bearing
  14. Facebook link takes me to an Ikea Sofa . Also, did you figure out the engine mount situation with the STI transmission?
