  1. you can always try thwe sears easy out thinggy.... I dont remember what it is called but head over to sears and ask them what kinda easyout kits do they have!!! theyll have something! Also when you put the new one on, try to take it easy this time!!! :-p And NO OFFENCE AT ALL I do this all the time but, make sure you are turning it the right way! although, not it will be hard to turn it at all.... trust me, it happens to the best of us!!!
  2. its now leaking Primeraly at the upipe to turbo connection, NEVER BUY NUTS AT LOWES they were the wrong thread pitch, Only one of them in the bag of 12 I bought fit the threads on my turbo. the rest are on their and will have to be broke off. so I am going to make a new header for it soon! then I should have my power back, and luckily it is only a leak under full throttle so, it works fine until i pedal to the metal so, I fixed it, I just dont go pedal to the metal!!! I cant wait to pull this motor out this summer!!! big cams, 3angle the valves, Get me my standalone engine management, and my gt28r off of an old isuzu truck!!! YAY!!! have you ever noticed how difficult it is to type a post and watch comedy central at the same time??? anyways thanks for the suggestions, oh and generation 3 heads??? they were only installed at the dealer right? or could my car possebly have them, Its a rebuilt motor by some company.....
  3. Oh no, I am going to wait untill I am ready to rebuild the beast and replace everything on the front cover. I wont take them out just to do the exhaust.
  4. So.. is there any caveins?? any damage??? other than the mirror
  5. thats what exactly what I was thinking about the Welding ofcourse I wont weld it... Only, I wasnt doing the Helicoil, My Brother in law was, because If I get "caught working" in the shop, the big bald boss gets all woried about insurance reasons, I'm positive that we could get it to work if the heads were off, and we had more acess to the engine. All In all, I want to weld it because some of the gasket mating surface is actually carved out, a tiny bit, so Welding it would fix that, and give me a fresh start.
  6. trust me, I wont be the one welding it, someone who knows what they are doing would, I opend this thread for options not to be told what to do and how to do it! My car. my decision. thank you.
  7. MAN!! OBX makes copies of everything... I like their stuff!!!
  8. Coool new users posting their roos... this is working out better than I thought!!!
  9. ok! I will lookinto the schedualdededed meets comming up
  10. I prefer the original Type of metal to be used as my threaded piece, I did do Helicoils, and Threadsirts, which are 1000000 times better than heli-coil the metal on my heads seems to be soft... I dont know, I do know that it will be fixed as soon as the engine needs to come out of it cave!!!
  11. Wow! That probably wouldve taken me a week to do!!! Nice job!
  12. Alright thanks man! as soon as something Breaks on my engine... which i hope is later than sooner, I will do this and hopefully get my blueroo running with maximum boost!!!
  13. Yeah I agree, It is a very very creative setup, and it looks SUPER clean, +amillion man that looks really really nice! post videos of it smokin the shoes please
  14. :clap: Sweet So you used a MIG wirefeeder and obviously you had it fitted to weld aluminum right??? So did it fill it right up or just the surface??? IM SO EXCITED AND I JUST CANT HIDE IT!!! DOOT DEE DA DA!!! I seriously thought that I was going to need to buy another set of heads, I plan on building these up to the moon just for fun... once I win a billion dollars!!!
  15. heh heh heh, well I guess not then... Hmm....
  16. I am digging that roof rack!!! and the pattern on those seats thats sweet!
  17. Time for a slide hammer, abucket of bondo, JUST KIDDING, I think it can be fixed, doesnt subarugenuine or 1st subaru still have body trim for these things??? I know they have interior trim, oh and a slide hammer might be alittle to strong for thsi one!! actually come to think of it, they do make small slide hammers so i think it would work fine!! have fun! But I think it totaly can be fixed!!! just it will take some time, oh and is this the appropriate time to use the phrase "nuthin alittle duck-tape cant fix"
  18. Oh belive me, I did, I retapped it with a bigger thread pitch and size, and the stupid things still ripped, and I didnt crank on them either, I just watched the pice of crap rip as I was trying to sinch up the bolts!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!! so then as a last resort I tried the JBweld, and belive me all of the JB weld is out of the hole, It all came out with the stud in one big fat clump!
  19. sweet People actually are reposting... Well Mine hasnt changed much, since I dont drive super far all the time its now at 256,000 on the dot actually!!!
  20. Alllllllllright people I AM BOOORRRED So.... I wanted to wait aliitle bit longer but Howzabout a mileage update.... Comeone new members I know that theirs some new people on here or atlease some of you have new roos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh yeah and this might be considered a slight BUMP!!!
  21. Yeah, Places can mix the paint from the color code for you... Actually I believe there is a website that I was going to order some paint for my dads trailer, I'm going to paint it the Toyota White... Sorry but I cant seem to find it...
  22. oooooooooh.... Cool!!!! maybe my car will decently again!!!
  23. I havnt had to repair rust considering my Roo has only one little smidged of rust on the rear, and its getting sanded soon... But the first Picture looks Alittle rough, that one seems like its going to take some kemo and bit of rehab, but with a welder, and some sanding pads and a whole lot of elbogrease, I think it can be done ( I am currently repairing my dads little pickup bed trailer, and after I sanded it, someone mooved the tarp off of it and it got rained on... that sucks) The rest of the pictures look decent, sandem soon though and cover them with some protection so they dont get worse!!! She looks nice!
  24. Turbo if there was a button for Added reputation I would push it amiilion times for this one!!! Now does anyone want to give me a master cylinder that is working perfectly????? mine is poo, atleast I hope its the cause!!! hehe
  25. OKAY!!! I finnaly remembered to ask this. On my roo, I tried removing the exhaust studs with the good old 2 bolt method (which is how you are supposed to do it) but Good old aluminum in the heads decided NO WAY!!! and gave all the threads that I had in one of them. so I made up some JB weld and pushed it up into the hole, let it cure for about a week, hehe, and drilled and tapped it.... well guess what... JBWELD STINKS, its good for somethings and not for this, A porsche tech AKA my bro inlaws co-worker said that he has had no success doing this with JBweld also, but red loctite he said is much stronger and that I should give this a try. Now I am not one for jerryrigging if I dont have too so what I want to ask is, Can heads be welded somehow to fill the hole up with aluminum weld and then be drilled and tapped??? like has this been done before!!! I am seriously interested and I know a few welders who got TIGs, oh by the by sorry for the life story! Oh yes and I did try Heli coil and Also Threadsirts, (threadsirts are like helicoild times a million in coolness) and they worked fine but the one I need welded, has been made bigger by, yours truly!!! If any of you remeber, I have been having exhaust leakage troubles since I even thought about making my car faster... so No its still not running even close to full boost yet, This pig has trouble getting out of its own way.... and DONT EVEN DARE TELLING ME TO GO N/A turbos Badass and once I make a stinking header for this piece, and get the turbine spooling, This things getting hot cams, ported and polished and maybe even some nice rods and pistons forged babey.... sweet jebus, I just made a big post.....
