  1. Bought them and then sold the car (2005 Legacy GT, not sure what else they will fit but looks like a lot of newer Foresters too). Still in the original box with the little grease packet and everything. I used the same kind previously and loved them, low dust and lasted a long time and never squealed. New $60 on Amazon including shipping, yours for $20 including shipping (except Hawaii and Puerto Rico and Alaska etc, I'll ship them there but it will cost extra, about 4.5 lbs shipping from zip code 80027). Or if you live around Boulder, CO pick them up for $10 or a six pack of decent beer.
  2. It's May 2019, jeez, what are people doing still reading this? Oh, that's right, I just used it this morning to replace my fuel injectors! Thanks a million, you made it much easier! 150k miles and 10 years on Witchunter-modified side feeds (plus 30k stock) and at this point I don't want to put enough money into the car to switch to top-feeds, pay for a whole new tune etc etc. If the Deatschwerks last a couple more years until I sell or donate it, I'll be happy.
  3. Sorry to hijack the thread a bit but had a fuel injector question and Chato or Max Capacity it looks like you might have some thoughts. My '05 GT just had a side-feed injector go bad (stock modified by witchunter 10 years ago to flow 820ccs) and it's a LOT more expensive to convert to top-feed than to just replace them with some similar capacity side-feed and then stick with my current tune. I've got a VF52 turbo and Walbo fuel pump but don't plan any further mods and would rather not dump thousands of $$ into the car at this point. The garage says "side feed bad" which I get, but I'll probably sell the car within a couple of years. Your opinions are appreciated!
  4. 2005 with 160k mix of city/highway. Upgraded turbo, up & downpipe, intercooler, fuel pump & injectors with custom tune. Holding up pretty well, just replaced the stock radiator (with a used one with warranty to save a bunch of money) and a cv joint went bad at about 90k after the boot split and threw grease out while I was on the highway. I do all the work on it myself except for that cv joint so I make sure it has quality fluids, proper torque blah blah. 100% synthetic oil and ATF since day one and no problems with smoke/leak/shifting so far, knock on wood. The only other things gone bad are the underbody tray with splits in it, popits that break every freaking time and the emergency brake vinyl cover that won't stay in place any more. My kid (22 now) says he gets the car when I get a new one and I say "fine, because I'm never getting a new one" I'm going for the Viking funeral, they will put me in the car and light a big bonfire as I ascend to Valhalla with my personal entourage.
  5. Hi, how did my $125 offer for the down-pipe sound?
