What did you do to your 5th gen today?? -V4

Flywheel on 5th gen is single mass anyway so a new flywheel for you. I just had mine resurfaced when I did my clutch.

 

 

 

Wait what?? I thought we had Dual Mass

Nope single, I believe the 4th gen had a dual mass.

Are you sure because South-bend advertises 05-12 push type with DMF conversion to SMF as seen In link a few posts up. I’ll have to look at the oe flywheel I bought that didn’t go in the car. Thought it was spring loaded but could be way wrong too lol!

Forgot I took this pic of stage 2 daily and oem flywheel, looks to be single mass I guess. Geesh, I beat the shit out of it haha!! The flywheel looks like absolute shit, so overheated and scored... don’t think it liked the torque much

I’ll have a nice little write up on the stage 3 endurance soon. Initial impression day 1... in love

I have been waiting for the call to go in for hip replacement surgery so I can assure you hunkering down and swapping rims was not a lot of fun!!

 

I feel for you. My father in law is getting a hip replaced on Tuesday. He is not one to sit around and take it easy, so this should be interesting.

Had a colleague at work get her hip replaced last year - she was bone on bone (ouch!) - they have you up and walking almost immediately afterwards - now she's good as new! No issues walking, she can go up stairs no problem, etc. - it's important to not sit still, and follow the instructions for rehab as closely as possible, so it sounds like they will be a-ok if they aren't one to just sit around!

That's good to know. I keep joking they need to install a grease zerk for the joint.

Here are two links explaining some info about the new flex fuel release in terms of what it is, how it works and what it can and cannot do. As with all my writeups, you are asked to post your questions there rather than pm me so everyone can benefit...Hope this helps

I had my left hip replaced 6 years ago..... I was walking with a walker the next day...with a cane a few days after that and did ALL my therapy every day. Mowed the lawn at 2 weeks and played 18 holes of golf at one month (1 under par)

Most good hospitals now do it on a day basis..... In for surgery in the morning....home in the evening. Gotta love modern medicine

Replaced the front right caliper slide pins and rubber boots along with some fresh silicon ceramic grease. No more noises up there.. not sure the slide pins were the root cause anyway as I noticed the top caliper bracket bolt wasn't snug all the way leaving some wiggle room. Either way, everything is good now and I can truly appreciate the super pros, whitelines, and new endlinks. definitely feels better.

Received my AP v3 for the trade in today. I'll be mailing in my v2 tomorrow.

 

You all know that Cobb is ending the trade in deal and also support for the v2's right?

I've had a few V2's fail or wouldnt update in the last month or so causing issues for customers, kind of glad to see them going away in favor of updated hardware.....They had a good run if you think about them in terms of a cell phone's life expectancy lol....

When?

Today I uploaded probably my 4 tune since dyno day as my tuner is dialing things in. It's really exciting but also a little bit of a bummer because I plan to go flex fuel but I don't want to wait to long to do it.

Went out for some fun during our first big snow the other night and front lip fell victim to an amateur snow-plower leaving a 10-inch high shelf of snow across the entire street that he had just plowed out from a parking lot.

 

Could've been worse honestly, lip is undamaged, the self-tappers just pulled out. Ez Lip helped take some of the brunt as well. Going to re-attach in the spring with bolts and nuts instead and re-do the ezlip then too. Passenger side stay firmly attached, so much in-fact that I had to jack the car up and lay my happy ass down on the wet, cold pavement to undrill all the remaining tappers lmao. Not too harshed about it all tbh, I'm more upset how dull and boring the front of my car looks without it now lmao.

 

^ouch!

 

Hope it isnt so bad to fix up

...I dropped my car off at my detailer for a 2-step paint correction. I'm hoping this makes it easier for me to maintain detailing wise moving forward in addition to getting some protection from winter.

On Monday, we had heavy rains, so it washed the salt off the roads. I woke up this morning and looked at the weather app; the temps were above freezing last night, so today I drove my Legacy GT to work for the 1st time in a couple weeks. I might as well enjoy it while I can.

Mind PM'ing the detailer you took it to? In the NOVA region myself.

Spent 2 hours under the hood etc.....fog lights stopped working while I was driving today. So I got industrious and started pulling fuses and checking everything else I could think of.... all to no avail.

I have independent fog light wiring and when all else failed I went in under the dash and checked everything again ..... took me over an hour to notice that a wire had slipped off the back on my toggle switch and had fallen into a position where I didn't notice it.....popped it back on and the fogs are working again.

Maybe a slight lesson in this...Check the simple stuff first so you don't turn a 10 minute job into 2 hours of drudgery!!

...PM sent.

$80 for Steelie 17”s with TPMS sensors and $120 for 225/50/R17s!!!!!!!!!

Technically really happened on Thursday but forgot to post. Got my Tein Street Basis Z coils installed(set to be around 1-1.5 below stock, but snow tires are over half an inch taller than my summer setup so negates a bit of the drop), as well as mounted my Hakkapelliita R2s on some 04 Impreza Outback wheels and threw them on. Officially in winter mode. Did an almost 300 mile roadtrip over the weekend and the Teins ride nicely. Definitely stiffer than stock, but ride really well IMO.
