  1. So I got some new rubber on the leggy a couple days ago. Some Lionhart lh-503. God they're horrible tires. What do you expect for $50 each right? Sidewalls are so soft. I feel like I'm back in my5" lifted wrangler on 33s. I'm keeping them as spares. Cause the return shipping makes it not worth the refund honestly. Decided to order a set of BFG Comp2 a/s instead. Lots of good reviews and I think they'll be a bit better suited for my spirited driving. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk
  2. Yeah I figured that'd be the case. Im not sure how I'd even get the long block into the car, imagine trying to swing it in there with an engine crane hah. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk
  3. So my local junkyard has a sick deal on engines coming this weekend, and I was thinking of finding an ej253 w/ avls to rebuild, seems to be a lot of them in the yard right now. Anyone know how the hell I can transport it? Would it fit in the trunk of my leggy sedan? Back seat maybe? What if I pull the heads at the yard? Thanks for any input. Also, took care of my seized front caliper slide pins. What a PITA. filmed it though, and I'll be putting a video up on the YouTube in the next couple days.
  4. So I cleaned and applied dielectric grease to the contacts for the maf, pedal position sensor, throttle position sensor, and main engine harness connector. Put 100 miles on it and haven't had issues, even when smashing the gas uphill. I'll update this thread if it happens again. But it seems to have just been dirty connections.

  5. So I have a stock 06 legacy 2.5i with the 4eat. Have an intermittent p0172 code (bank 1 too rich), mostly if I am city driving for a few days. Then it goes into limp mode sometimes, seems like it happens mostly when I'm going uphill and lean into the throttle a but too fast. When it goes into limp mode, I get codes p0113(IAT high voltage), p0172(bank 1 too rich), p2138(pedal/throttle position sensor/switch d/e voltage correlation). After it goes into limp mode, if I shut the car off, unplug maf, let it start, shut it off, plug it back in, then start again it goes away for some time. After I reconnect the maf and it is running fine again, I have code p0102(maf low input) After about 5 miles the goes off and all the codes go away. I'm going to do some runs with the Torque app today to try getting maf voltage, o2 voltage, throttle percentage, and anything else that looks out of the ordinary. Any ideas what it could be?

  6. So here was my problem. Saw it and pulled the pan. Tried to patch it and put it back on with a new gasket and well.... So I replaced the pan with a new one, also used a felpro cork gasket instead of rtv. Now it's leaking from the dipstick tube o-ring. There was only one when I removed it before. Looks like it takes 2. Hope that fixes it. Sent from my Z999 using Tapatalk
  7. Well if that's the case, guess I'm doing my oil pan gasket at the same time. Thanks man Sent from my Z999 using Tapatalk
  8. Did plugs and wires today. Runs a lot smoother. Also, plug tubes had tons of oil in em as per usual. Got the new gaskets, how fun is it doing those in car? Sent from my Z999 using Tapatalk
  9. I'm poor.. the usual scumbags offer up the full set of adjustable height/camber/damping coilovers for 300ish. Sent from my Z999 using Tapatalk
  10. Ah dang, got my hopes up. I did just take another look, doesn't appear to be coming from the seam where the Valve covers meet the head, or where the head meets the block. Filter is soaked, oil pan is soaked, crossmember is soaked. Had to add .5 qt since my oil change the other day. Edit. Seems to leak much much slower when the engine is running. over 5 mins I see maybe 10-15 drips when it's off, and only 3-4 when it's idling. Not sure what that indicates if anything.
  11. I'm headed back to my chop tomorrow, I'll take a look! Sent from my Z999 using Tapatalk
  12. The lady took it for a nice long drive to Waterloo yesterday, no issues. Sent from my Z999 using Tapatalk
  13. So I didn't get under it to check oil leaks, but I did my brakes and tires rotation. Sent from my Z999 using Tapatalk
  14. Thank you for this. I'll see if I can get a better view around the back side of the engine. Sent from my Z999 using Tapatalk
