Valve Cover Gasket Replacement 99 OBW
subaru360 replied to DiscoStu's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXUndo the motor mount nuts and jack the motor up and slide it over the the other side while doing each cover. Takes 5 min and will save you an hour of fighting to get the vc bolts out.

07 sti jerkin at accel and battery issues
subaru360 replied to jizzy's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI'd recomend you do this first. Go buy a paper air filter. Install that, it's just two clips. Go to an auto parts store and buy some MAF sensor cleaner. Take out the MAF sensor. It's usually just two screws and it pops out. 07 may be a bit different than the 02-06 wrx but not much. Spray the inside of the sensor with the cleaner well and let it air dry. Put it all together. Disconnect the negative battery cable then step on the brake pedal for a minute. This will reset the ECU. Reconnect the battery cable and drive it a bit to see how it is. If you are reasonably handy with a wrench and screwdriver this will only take a few minutes and might save you a lot of time and money.

'Juddering' while turning; new steering rack installed.
subaru360 replied to 211's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThat is what I would try first. I do that until the level doesn't drop any more.

07 sti jerkin at accel and battery issues
subaru360 replied to jizzy's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXYou could probably locate a used stock downpipe on NASIOC cheap. If the subaru dealer didn't flag your car's warranty, put a used downpipe on and take it to another dealer for service. Yes I know this is somewhat shady, but if you honestly bought the car like this, it's not really your fault and this will get you warranty service which IMO you deserve.

96 outback
subaru360 replied to rdp5008outback's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX$3000 is about right I think. Subarus are worth more in your area. None of the repairs needed are too major.

'Juddering' while turning; new steering rack installed.
subaru360 replied to 211's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI like to turn the steering wheel back and forth with the wheels in the air and engine running for a while, topping off the level as needed while doing this. They make a bit of noise while getting the air out at full lock.

New Jersey Devil Chase
I see both of those in the U-pull junkyards here all the time. Of course the bumpers usually will have a few scratches. Maybe we should have a junkyard run the weekend after every pine barrens run to replace all the broken parts.

New Jersey Devil Chase
For anyone who wasn't there you should have seen them freaking out when I drove through that same spot. Of course later that day I met my match in the clay pit. :-\

Older generation 15" wheels on a '08 OB Wagon?
subaru360 replied to bostonfan49's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe only 15" wheels you are going to find that will clear the brakes are going to be the wheels used on subaru rally cars. Some brands to look for are compomotive, team dynamics and speedline.

07 sti jerkin at accel and battery issues
subaru360 replied to jizzy's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXFirst off the subaru dealer can not void your warranty. They can deny coverage on powertrain related items only because of the aftermarket downpipe. If it has a catless downpipe then you must also have some sort of tuning done to the ECU or it would have a check engine light on. As far as the acceleration problem goes it could be so many things on a car as complicated as an 07 sti it would be hard to give advice online. But some things to check for are boost leaks if it had any other aftermarket parts installed previously and improperly removed. If you want to keep the downpipe your best bet is find a local shop that specializes in wrxs and take it to them. If you want warranty coverage for the problem, you are stuck putting a stock downpipe with cats back on before the dealer will work on it. Also you'll get better advice about your sti on http://www.nasioc.com than here.

Pathetic request for shop pics
It doesn't take up much space at all. It's a little over 4 feet wide and 10 feet long. You can store it in a garden shed if needed.

Petition to SOA...
You got a new brat, the baja. Nobody bought them. Sorry to be blunt, but that is the way marketing types see it.

Pathetic request for shop pics
This is mine. I also have a 10x10 storage shed filled to the roof with parts and there is an attic in the garage also filled with subie parts. I am building an 8X24 addition onto the side to keep the 360 and various stuff in this summer. I also am planning to put a chain hoist in the ceiling for pulling engines to save the space it takes to store my engine hoist. I could have a lift, but I'd have to give up the attic storage in the garage. Oh yeah, it's got propane heat in the winter and A/C in the summer.

subarus on craigslist...
subaru360 replied to bgambino's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXAlso don't try to search too much using crazed list at once. If you try do the whole country, craigslist will ban your IP. It slows down their servers.

99 legacy sus manual transmission swap
X2 every manual trans will have the lower starter stud. Add the matching rear diff to the list of parts needed. The sus will have 4.444 rear diff, so you will need a diff with a ratio to match the new trans.

360 info?
My 360 has no problem keeping up with normal traffic. It can cruise at 55 mph easily and I have had it up to 70 mph. A long trip on the highway at 60+ mph for hours on end might be too much for it, but other than that, you can drive these cars just like any other car.

subaru360 replied to njdrsubaru's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI claybarred the side of my truck last weekend. Slid it against the side of a clay hill. That's it in the pic above on the right. It's still that muddy right now, I haven't washed it.

Who Likes It? Any Ideas on What to do Next?
subaru360 replied to EVOthis's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXMine are modified stock injectors also. I figured they would be in the 820-840cc range, but they turned out to be 860cc. I'll probably run around 25-27 psi on the new turbo. IWG for me.

subaru360 replied to EVOthis's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI just put 860cc injectors in mine. I got a 20G turbo for it, but it has a defect and has to go back, so I didn't get to put it on yet. Hoping for high 11's when it's done. It's running 12's now.

subaru360 replied to EVOthis's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXNice! What's the rollcage for? Drag racing? Road racing? Kinda looks like an NHRA legal cage. What air-oil seperator is that you have? Do you have it draining back into the block or do you dump it out when it's full? Depending on where you raced, you'd have a chance, on the street I'd bet on the WRX. On a dragstrip with the chevy on slicks it would be a good run. Both should run in the 11's right?
