  1. jb weld dont like oil, and you would need lots of it to fix this... and you would have to wait a long time. tow it home
  2. no dont pull the engine unless you really want to, although it is an easy one to pull. Just remove the bolts in the motor mounts, and jack up the engine, then place 2x4 blocks inbetween the block and thecrossmember and lower the engine, then remove the pan and reverse!
  3. You should be able to find a td04 around 100-250 bucks, above 200 is pushing it though. And they are all over, ie ebay or nasioc or rs25. One just went for $50 on rs25
  4. I dont feel like ceramic coating it anymore, my machinest buddy said dont spend the money on it, it will be fine, and I guess all things considered, my car is not a supra killer (unless theres snow). SO I am going to begin teardown as soon as I get the gaskets ordered. by the way, td04 gaskets are spensive!
  5. NO IT WILL NOT, I was the person who did this and it did not hold up to the heat, it and the stud came out in one big fat clump when I went to tighten the header up. I let it cure and harden and I even told it I loved it
  6. Oh i dont believe in not being stainless. from my downpipe to the tail is stainless on my car. well, now it will all be stainless. yay for me!!! So things to buy list, New Radiator New front Axles but that can wait New expensive TD04 gaskets, and header gaskets Stainless 3 in, and 2 in and of course, premium fuel once again
  7. It would not be a TWE, and it would not be 200 bucks i mean, this isnt SSAutochrome we are talking about here. The reason I am asking for a price is because I have a friend in Washington state who makes the bees knees in headers, and trust me they are not cheap. 200 dollars would not cover the cost for stainless, let alone someone tig welding it, pie cutting it and bending it, and then to ceramic coat it. No one said tuning a car is cheap, except the ones who dont have a fast car.
  8. If it did only strip one, you should fix it anyways. Use a helicoil or Time-sert if possible, if not, i dont see why you couldnt try the liquid thread repair stuff and retap it. Or just drill it out STRAIGHT, and tap it larger.
  9. Ill work on it... pm sent to merk.
  10. these are not mandrel bent, they are pie cut, which is better. and they would be full t304 stainless, pie cut... its just an Idea nothing sinister. Ill post the sizes in a bit, dinner time. If they were ceramic coated from us, it would be much more $, speaking of which I think I may do the same to mine. Ok, the size looks to be about 1-3/4" pipe. Twin Scroll would be great, but only if you had a twinscroll exhaust housing.
  11. Thats something like the story my bro in law told me... quick question, how many of you would be willing to pay $200-$300 bucks for something thats compairable to one of these? Not that I want to sell mine, NEVER!!!
  12. I didnt read it, My bro in law read it somewhere... Hes the newschool expert. I just like to post on here like I know a thing or 2
  13. I ment the 2 pics on top. Prodrive is begging subaru to get rid of the scoops, because of drag limitations. I think its silly, but those guys in lab coats think its serious.
  14. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=89213 If someone ever begins production on these believe me you guys wont be left out.
  15. Notice the lack of hood scoop? Subaru is phasing it out, too much drag says prodrive... see what happens when someone whines. Hood scoop, its what makes a subaru, a turboroo
  16. You are not the only one who shops at costco.... besides, I took them from my dad! I need to get the portwork done on this thing. I didint have time tonight, and I really really want to get this thinggy bolted on, but, I want to do it right, so I am either going to send it to get ceramic coated or wrapped or something, because my expierience with my exhaust system is to take it off as little as necessary. Dont worry I will keep full updates with more large pictures.... TWE Old School header, Must have function on forum for mods list!!!
  17. I asked Jonathan and he said "I have my sources", But he did say it was a royal pain to track these things down.... This header means, if no other problems have arisin since I got this turd, It will be fast once again! Oh yeah, I am starting to figure out a water to air Intercooler setup on my car. Merkletron said that it would be "Ideal" for my car because of the low space it uses. So I am working to get some money to make a cheap setup that works.
  18. OH YEAH!!!!! Check these pics now, I owe my thanks to Merkatroid for getting me this for my graduation!!!!! (sorry the pics are not the best, Merkatroid will need to take them if you guys complain. ) and if somehow USMB crashes because of this upload... It wasnt ME! Sorry for the huge pics too... Ill learn to downsize them a bit. Oh and minor port work will be done!
  19. OK this just in... YOU MUST FOLLOW THE KISS METHOD keep it simple, stupid! The distys rotor screw popped out, the rotor spun, but that was just luck when I looked at it, I was staring at it today, and I decided to try to turn it, just for fun, and it did turn. YAY FOR ME!!! now my car is back and running, although that screw is a bit challenging to get in.
  20. Thats what I am thinking about in my head... im just glad I got it home, I didnt really look at it too much while on the side of a scary freeway. If its timing belts, ill find a way to cough up the cash... I really think its something super simple, I gotta keep hoping it is :-\
  21. So get this, Today I am graduating from high school. I did my master cylinder yesturday, blead the brakes today, got it out of 4wd, and as I am on my way to my moms house to start getting ready, the car suddenly dies on the transition ramp to one of our most hectic and busy freeways.... I mean I got off the little ramp thingy, and it flat out dies!!!!! 95 bucks later the thing is towed home and i can still make my graduation. havent had time to diagnose, heres some little details, cranks no start, occasionally It fires like timing is way off, but it cranks like normal so I dont know, tomarrow I am going to check for fuel, spark and of course timing belts. I HATE subarus, but yet I love them, a love hate relationship:-p
