Thor294 Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share Posted March 3, 2018 What does Delta actually do to the cams and how much power or torque does it make? Thanks. When I talked to them they have a few different grinds. Anywhere from 15-30hp/tq I believe. I did research months ago can't remember where but people said they do great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doublechaz Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I know they are a good name. I just didn't know what they actually do. So do they weld build and regrind, or do they grind the base curve lower and let the lash adjuster take up the difference so it lifts farther? 30+ would be pretty nice to have. I have a spare engine in the other room. Hmm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor294 Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share Posted March 3, 2018 I can ask when they call me when they get the cams. Cam removal is super easy. I figured why not before I throw the motor in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor294 Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 Forgot to ask deltacam what they do. Cams should be with me next week. Much better tinted. Hate the damn decals on the hatch. They will be gone when I paint the car in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor294 Posted May 25, 2018 Author Share Posted May 25, 2018 Finally got around to working on the car. Replaced all brakes with hawk HPS pads and installed the other 3 stainless brake lines. had to replace drivers rear caliper as it was frozen, wasn't actually doing anything lol. Same as the passenger rear one when I got the car. Also took the snows off and put my BRZ wheels that I got for a steal on. Still need to re-assemble my STI struts and RCE yellows to throw into the car. Also need to swap the engine/trans. Lots of stuff to do. A "summer project"...

Thor294 Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 Last week the HVAC decided to make love to it with his truck, so it's at the body shop right now. AC also quit working so gotta find the leak *again*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton96 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Damn that sucks, at least it didn't bend up the metal body panels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor294 Posted July 12, 2018 Author Share Posted July 12, 2018 Damn that sucks, at least it didn't bend up the metal body panels Yeah not fun. The bumper "protector" has a lip that goes under the liftgate. It peeled off a bunch of paint in doing so. They quoted for repainting the bottom of the liftgate/tailgate/hatch/whatever, so total is around $1600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton96 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 It'd be cheaper to buy a compressor, a cheap paint gun and a new bumper and just do it yourself. The car is faded white, you'll never match it even with the right equipment so either pay a lot and have it not match or pay a little and have it not match. Or find a white bumper in the junkyard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or find a white bumper in the junkyard I have a compressor and a painter friend who did it professionally. Just no time to setup a paint booth and such. I am debating on just prepping the whole car myself for paint and just pay for it to be painted. I need to fix the rust spots that are now starting to form. The front bumper is fresh painted and isn't too bad looking lol. Just not something I wanted to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton96 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Yeah I know the feeling and I'm sort of in the same boat. I'm going to get mine resprayed at some point, there's just too much mismatched white and I have to replace metal for the rust repair. I was thinking of going with the 2010-2014 Impreza pearl white.

Thor294 Posted September 24, 2018 Author Share Posted September 24, 2018 All fixed up. car is now 2 different shades of white unfortunately lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doublechaz Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Mine is two shades of silver because much of the clear has flaked off the hood. Even where the clear is fine, yours looks a good deal newer than mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was lucky till about a year ago. driver's quarter has a... quarter... sized rust spot. passenger is clean. My friend is going to go over both and fix them up real good. The "white" from my rear bumper will probably spread to the quarters now Nice. Classic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor294 Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 Got some fun new front seats... Loaded it up to get it ready to change literally everything. Dropped everything off, went to drive back home and... rip Just shut off, no noise. CEL came on for a second before it stalled, thinking Crank sensor but didn't bother to investigate. Pump primes. It knew it was time... Had to drop off the last piece of the puzzle: Tearing it down to replace every seal. Compression test 145-150-150-150 Teardown begins Thanks Mr. UPS man! (yes, im replacing the filter) Since I am going 4 pots in the future, I wanted to stick with 16" wheels for better everything in the winter. So I got some cheap XT wheels and got some new skins on them. The blizzaks I had on my steelies are now on my stock ford focus wheels for my focus. Pile of parts in the corner, still waiting for some parts to come in. Going to be fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor294 Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 Lots of stuff been happening... Took apart the engine to do ARP studs and head gaskets and found scoring on the cylinder walls. Going to do AVCS EJ205 (but don't enable AVCS so i can use USDM ECU, etc.) longblock. Fitted PS and EBCS didn't need this but I did it anyway. picked up some STI front lower arms and a WRX whiteline front swaybar. Found a possible new set of summer wheels The fun begins! went a little ham on the exhaust coating and powder coating. Smacking myself for not trying to find a good ELH to run. DP bung for a/f sensor Bay nice and fresh Found a scoop extender, rfrb grille (not pictured)... and the one and only...
