  1. This Header is the TWE "Old School" Header right??? and what does that come up with, like what flange? the IHI type or the garret, rest of the world, type.
  2. Allright im totaly mad, and sad, She stops, but, The Pedal goes to the floor, I bled the system throughly, and it makes pressure perfectly when I pump it with the car off, when I took it out for a spin, it cant even Lock the fronts up, the pedal turns to mush. oh and the E-brake is really snug, I think the two are related but I dont know... HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  3. Ok everything is going as planned, just, alot slower than planned, if that makes any sence. My bro in law came over after work and enlightend me that, if I take the bolt on the bottom of the caliper off, the caliper will swivel and allow me to slap the pads in with ease... that was nice to know.... and they slid in perfectly, I am eating dinner and going back out to finish the passenger side, oh and brake fluid and cleaner really hurt your eyes bad!!
  4. Oh man, Caboob do you know how much they are?/ Probably a million dollars, Like everything else TWE makes, But they are probably so nice.... I wonder if I could make my own that looks like theirs, oh well, I have brakes to make work...
  5. ALLRIGHT DAMN.... I have the drivers side apart, its clean, pretty, and well, my pads still had 35% left, It looked a lot worse when I had it in the air at my school. Anyways, I took the old pads off, And am putting the new ones in, I have said a few naughty words when turning the piston back but I think i got it. So Im putting the new ones on, Yes I checked and their the exact fit, as the old ones. But I think the retaining spring on the piston side of the caliper is bad or something, It wont hold the pad tightly, the sliding part holds it nice and tight. Help me please, Do I need new springs?? I have to get these things done today or, Im not going to school tomarrow.. I hate sliding calipers, I did my dads yota, ( monoblock calipers, much better and easier.) and it took me 45 mins, and I was taking my sweet rump roast time!!! (Im not saying I hate my roo, I love working on my car, because, its my car....) So when I turn in the piston, Do I need to go until it stops?? I am buying a Manual after this job is done. Please tell me all the problems and solutions that you guys have, so I dont have to ask for them I have to get this done, oh yeah, I AM NOT ASKING SOMEONE AT CHECKER OR AUTOZONE FOR HELP, I do want this done right, oh if you work their sorry, you guys are probably better than the tards that we have here in AZ. These guys at Checks and Autozone think they know everything.
  6. Ok good, my dad is a plumber and, Channel Locks are everywhere at his house, so I think that I will be allright. Now if only My brother would show up with the jack and jack stands.
  7. Woah woah woah... I need a freaking tool to rotate my pistons back into position??? Who the heck thought of that??? What were they smoking back in japan. Tomarrow is going to suck. but thanks for telling me this.
  8. Woah woah woah woah woah, do you mean tech works engeneering??? HOW WHERE, I WANT ONE, or at least a perfect copy of one.
  9. If I were to fit these in my roo, I would need to buy a SAFC to pass emissions.
  10. Well, I love almost all subies but, i have to say the 1998 Subaru 2.5 RS with rallyblue and the OE gold wheels are just awasome. This is my bro in laws car, were dropping in a built almost to the hilt EJ257, if you wana hear more search "Project Ringland" on rs25.com Except he wants bigger foglights, personally I think the 98s fogs look better than the later years, but everyone but me likes the bigger ones. Oh and the cyclopses RULE!!! Well and then their is the 22b, Yeah, Thats a nice one too, oh and the P-1, yeah I like that one too....
  11. Yeah my car does this after about 4200 rpm, But I have a hewg exhaust leak and, Im sure I have a metered air leak somewhere.... i hate my life... but love my car.
  12. PCCB stands for Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake, Its available on all of their cars, Their in essance, the brakes that you see Get and Stay RED HOT during Lemans racing, Personally I think its a waste of money since porsches brakes are already UN-REAL, but it would be cool to have a brake system thats worth 5 times my car. Oh and Dot 4 can work in dot 3, Its just like premium gas for a car that doesnt have ping with regular, its overkill, Porsches use it to keep their braking status up to the highest standard.
  13. Oh yeah, does anyone put break caliper grease on the backs of the pads? I got this epoxy Noise Eliminator stuff, but, I think these oem style pads have been sitting on a shelf since my car was built... It has hardend inside its protective package.
  14. Oh the brake fluid??? Heh heh, Ive got Porsche dot 4 fluid for my beast, its free, My bro in law is a tech there so, I get "some" and only some goodies that they use, I've been trying to get PCCB for my car but, I guess thats asking too much. Thanks for the help guys I am making preparations to get really really dirty and greasy
  15. Hey, Im going to do my from brakes and rotors tomarrow on my Scooby, I now realize that I need to take my wheel bearings out, so I am ready to clean and pack em real good, but I have a question about the castle nut, I know that it needs to be tight, but I also know that it cant be slammed on there. Is there an easy way to know this without trial and error? Yes, I know what I am doing when it comes to Automotive Technology, This is the one thing that I can truly do in life, so the terms can be used when explaining things to me. Wow, I dont know what I was smoking but apearantly I am writing a novel.... Thanks for any tips on the brake job
  16. Ok so those flanges that are the 4 stud configuration. Did you Guys make those or buy them?? Im planning on making them. And soon really soon.
  17. Hey guys, I just wana see if any of you guys have some custom exhaust pictures from your EAs, I replaced my exhaust gaskets and guess what, the flange is warped so its time for a new header, im going for the 4 Stud flanged, Im going to make it my self with some mild steel, no SS for the first try! I AM SICK AND TIRED Of NO POWER!!! Thanks for the pics if anyone has any!!!
  18. have to go to bed, so cant read the rest of this, but yeah, has anyone seen the Carrera GT shift nobb? Its full Wood. and Sphereicakal, Big hard word.
  19. ok, next time I go to buy my dads parts for his Taco, ill askem how much they are... I dont plan on breaking anything this weekend, but you never know, Leverage is my friend
  20. Really? is there a specific toyota model that has these studs?
  21. Yeah they have the little ring. Is there a certain way there supposed to fit?
  22. Ok... Ill give that a try, the whole reason this started is because the bolts fell of the header, has this happond to you? I had to go buy new nuts from ace hardware (SS by the way:banana:) and I also put lock washers underneath them, but The stock nuts have little bumps on them to lock them, Does anyone know where to get these nuts?
  23. This just in... I ordered my exhaust manifold gaskets and they came in a nice little box with a part number on them!!! I dont know how old these are but, I think the part number is still the same, They are Fel-Pro 92996, I hope this helps someone.... Finally I will hit at least stock boost level again, my car will move out of its own way!
