  1. Thanx guys. Looks like propane torch and some pounding... hopefully it'll be easy..
  2. Here's the pictures of what I'm working with. It was an actual kit as you can see by the last picture. The rubber shaft seals are still in the housings. The first 2 show what I'm trying to remove.
  3. I picked up a set of 02 tgv housings for my top feed conversion. These were deleted with an aftermarket aluminum plug kit. I have the end plates removed along with the plugs. The issue I'm having is the center of the housing whee the shaft runs through. The plug isn't coming out at all. Does it matter which way it comes out? Is it threaded in? Thoughts???
  4. 2 years in and finally upgraded to a short shifter. I got a boomba shifter, shift cable bushing, and the 1/2 shifter stop. Got it all 2nd hand, still new in package for 200 bux. The shifter and shifter stop has been installed and "now" works flawlessly. The shifter stop is easy to install and adjust. The stop takes away all of the slop that's in 1st and 2nd. There is actually a fair amount of slop! No more missed 2nd gear shifts. The shifter itself on the other hand, requires complete disassembly of the shifter assembly. It's not difficult, just time consuming. After initial install throws were definitely shorter and the height and location of the shifter was in more user friendly location. The only issue was that the throw from neutral to say 3rd was shorter than neutral to 4th. Engagement was different too. The cable would actually pop off when going into 3rd. After a few fixes I discovered the problem. I figured the shifter wasn't manufactured correctly and was causing all of the issues. Since I bought it 2nd hand with no receipt I was essentially stuck with it. The options were install the stock shifter or buy another from a different brand. On the last failure I decided to look and see if there was an actual cause. Because of how the shifter was, it was actually hitting the back of the shifter cable box and disengaging the cable whenever it goes into 3rd. I modded the shifter cable box for clearance and no more issues. Pictures explain it all...
  5. I haven't done it yet. I didnt know that was even an issue. I thought it was specifically all about the flex fuel kits only. I'll contact my local tuner and see what he says. I have a strange feeling I may have screwed myself in waiting so long to do the conversion. At this point all I'm waiting on is finding a decent looking deal on a vf52 or slightly larger, install it all and get tuned. However, if said tuner is willing to e-tune, I'll see what I can do.
  6. You sir, are what we consider the other guy on the shoulder telling us that stock is boring... I, for one, agree...
  7. While I understand using what you have.. why not upgrade to top feed injectors? 07+ cars have them and finding them is an inexpensive thing. I found an entire setup for 80 bux with injectors. Not to mention once you get the better turbo, a retune won't be a bad idea. It's one of those "while you're in there" type of thing. Everything else mentioned is absolutely sound. The fluidampr is also a great idea. I run one while also having a lightened FW. Engine still responds faster than stock and actually (to me anyway..) feels smoother.
  8. Yes. Lots of missing pieces and large sections missing. Hence why I was asking.
  9. Our radio antenna is a separate grid on the back window. It's the same material as the defroster grid. There are pieces missing from the radio section more so than the defroster. Just trying to avoid replacing a window
  10. Has anyone ever moved the radio antenna from the back window to something like one of those dielectric shark fin antennas?? I'm not really wanting to have my back window replaced..
  11. Been a bit here.. Christmas was good, mostly about my son and my cars. He got a bunch of Lego sets and my Legacy got a boomba short throw, perin shift stop, and the solid bushing for the cable down below. This 6mt swap has been trouble free up until this first mod. Long as short, the shifter definitely makes things better and angles the shifter towards the driver which honestly threw me off as to where the gears were. I figured out the adjustment for the cable to get the results I needed. It's definitely shorter overall and the throws are definitely short too! I tried to take a picture of the after in comparison to before. It's fairly close camera angle wise. Also, car is at 278k!
  12. Sooo... I've actually had an energy drink that was canned as this!
  13. Been a hot minute since I've posted here.. with the LGT now a backup car, it's no longer needed nearly as much. Oil change and rear brakes done this past weekend. Broke 1 bolt in each caliper bracket. Had a co-worker torch and tap them. One thing is certain, shifting your own is still better than a automatic...
  14. I completely agree with you on that sentiment. 3-4 years old was a blast for me. It's like the early discovery years! Now he's about video games and electronics. I'm kinda hoping I can get him into ecm tuning.. At any rate, count me in. My only blackout time is spring break. That's when I take my son and visit the other grandparents in Virginia and then my other half of the family down in Georgia, and yes, the LGT made the inaugural trip of these trips!
  15. Dunno man.... #1 is doable, but #2 though..
