  1. Hey people, It's time for me to do the timing belt once the car comes out of storage. I was thinking about going for the Company23 kit (575) with the water pump. Not sure if there are other recommendations? As well, are the specialty Company23 tools like the cam lock tool, EJ crankshaft bit or sprocket tools worthwhile and if so, which? Thanks in advance!
  2. Enlight offers a nice service. However, depending on how you want to do things - you can go custom like I did. I'm running an Invidia catless downpipe that has a GESi G-Sport cat welded in but the catback itself is a custom setup with two 2.5in Varex mufflers (VMK10-250). This way I can have a quiet exhaust and go reasonably loud if need be.
  3. I've never applied anything like it before but from all the videos I've seen, people just run wide sheets of it and would cover where the service areas would be. I don't think I'd be able to change a window regulator or the glass if this was the case like in the photo below.
  4. Alrighty, Guess who's back? I've been away for a while since I've have a lot of job bouncing (the joys of being a contract worker) and working multiple jobs at the same time. But yeah, I did the thing. Finally. Painted Audi's Sonoma Green Metallic. The shop I worked with was wonderful and went all out. JDM facelift front end and USDM facelift rear. Ceramic coated and PPF'd and some extra JDM goodies if you can spot 'em. Car has been in storage since November so I haven't been around to mention it, coupled with the work chaos. I have a few things to deal with still and need to inquire the hivemind about: 1) When they took off the vapor barriers for the paint, they got stretched and aren't in good enough shape to place back (the SIA factory guys just gobbed that butyl on). As a result, I was thinking of having an AV shop Dynamat the doors. However, my windows have those interior scratches from the felt. I thought it was initially just the tint that was scratched but apparently not. My concern is if I have the doors dynamat'd and I should repair the window glass or a regulator in the future, I fear it may be stupid hard to get to. 2) My fobs no longer engage power locking or the trunk opening. I'm guessing maybe a fuse or something popped. Anybody have leads or suggestions?
  5. Thanks so much, people. I'm going to give it a shot next week as I'm going out of town tomorrow.
  6. Hi everybody, I've found that I have some scratches on my windows on the inside, somewhat diagonal but vertical. I remember reading somewhere that 61256AG000 is the magic part to replace. Does anybody have any photos on how to go about with the fix? Would like to get this done ASAP. Thanks in advance!
  7. Hi everybody, So I had to replace my steering wheel pump recently. Had it rebuilt. Trusty mechanic found my steering angle sensor had died after the fact. (VDC light was on all the time) So I got a replacement and installed it, steering angle sensor works and provides data. Now, this has happened twice since all that work was done but my ABS, VDC and brake lights had come on and stay on for about 30 mins or so then just go back to normal (irrespective of restarting the car). No OBD code and I don't have the Autel tool to scan the other parts of the car. Any ideas?
  8. Chances are your Crux kit doesn't have the line level outputs that are needed for the HK amp. You likely need something like the Metra 70-7553.
  9. Yeah, I've been here. Have two goldens. They go in the Forester Though not necessarily a car related part, try to get a seatbelt harness. I have two goldens. One absolutely hates the car, has puked, nervous pees. The other loves it so long as he has a lap to crawl on. It's mostly exposure. Good luck and congrats on the land shark.
  10. Hey bud, can you by chance share some info on those wheel liner extensions? I got a pair of fenders, was wondering what I'd need to get them good to go.
  11. Been a while, I'm due to update my own thread but - started my facelift swaperoo and sent my PS pump out for a rebuild. I had originally ordered a new one but the dealer, after 3 weeks, said "oh, we're back to square one"...
  12. Started prepping my new power harness. Thanks to rhino6303 for the pointers to begin. 2AWG for the starter, 2 AWG for the transmission ground and 4 AWG for the chassis ground. Still need to decide how I want to do the fuse box. I took measurements of everything and will be posting them on my build page in due time for anybody who wants to make a new power harness.
  13. Hi everybody. I have emergency plumbing to deal with and had to clean out my parts stash. With that said, I have some parts to put up for sale. All prices are in CAD, not including shipping. Any reasonable offer will be entertained 1) Cobb shifter bushing kit Unused, sat in a box for a while. Hardware included. $50CAD 2) 2008-2009 Facelift heated mirrors Unused. Wrapped with green protective tape. $40 CAD 3) 2008-2009 Facelift LED mirror turn signals Takeoffs from a heated JDM power folding mirror set. Wrapped with green protective tape. $25 4) Perrin 6sp reverse lockout Unused, went a different route. $40. 5) Switch banks I have two switch banks. One that has the power folding button. And another with a Euro eco button (because let's be honest, we're eco when disabling VDC...). $40 for the set. 6) 2007 specB P204-UH Radio Taken off from car with ~35K KM on it. Includes hazard button. $120CAD, will add photos later. 7) Morimoto X-VF 3157 Amber LED bulbs (front turn signals), new in package. $25 for the pair.
  14. Prepping for my JDM facelift swap. Booked paint, got some K2Gear goodies for the car. Will update my thread too. Also, figured out cabling (special shoutout to rhino6303 for his patience!)
  15. @ Max Capacity, I have those. Unfortunately it's the Canadian winters that did me in. I followed your advice and those connectors did do their job. I realized it was a stopgap solution. I'm going to be using a Painless Performance CirkitBoss which is essentially a potted Eaton 3 fuse and relay holder for the extra accessories. I have new terminals. @rhino6303, I'm going to PM you. Have lots of questions, I hope you're ready. Thanks!
