thanks for the comfort there. ill talk to her and get this sorted out.

you are definatly good people. thanks.

you havet o be carefule where you use plastic. too close to the turbo and it will melt. im sure you could use it on the cold side ofthe intercooler, but you have to check it frequently for cracking. aluminum is recommended due to its light weight and ability to be bent into various shapes. that and its strong

my coverage is via internet.

i am hoping to try to make it up there, but i still hve to convince my mom to let me. unfortunatly, even though i am 23, she still has the call since its her gas card i use. if i could get assistance with fuel funding, i should be able to make it, granted, it might only be like half a tank that ill need. im only like an hour and a half away. im going to try to convince her to let me go. but on top of worrying about gas prices, she is also concerned about the fact that i have cancer. she thinks that it will make it different from every other trip ive taken in the last year. eh, well see i guess.

i might see about trying to make my way up there depending on how i feel. i am still recovering from my biopsy last week and i still cant lift anything nor can i really do much of anything. hopefully ill feel better, at least well enough to come up and just say hi and check some things out. i guess i am lucky that im not very far away. i think its only like an hour and a half or so.

looks good, just a little more work and it will be damn nice. if i have the subaru cookout again this summer, you going to bring it up?

welcome to the club man. if you are looking to bypass the cats, i would recommend taking it out and replacing it with a pipe instead of hollowing it out. when you punch out a cat, it leaves a large empty chamber that can actually cause a more of a restriction from the air not having a direct flow and bouncing off the sides and what not. i think the magazine sport compact car did a test with that. personally though, i would recommend the use of a high flow metalcore cat. they are a bit pricier but that flow much beter than a normal cat and they last a lot longer. as far as mounting a pod filter, it can be done, you just need a maf adaptor and a low profile filter from my expirience. i think the best would be the hks filter. they flow very well and are shorter than most every other filter ive seen. i actually went with the front mount intercooler on my rx, it wasnt too hard to fit. the hardest part was having to cut a hole in the front fender where the battery currently sits for the cold side pipe to come through. these pics are a bit old, but you get the point with em. the biggest difference is that i have a different intake manifold now. the problem i had with the stock intake manifold is that the 90* elbow i had to use to connect the pipe to the throttle hit the hood and was rubbing paint and such. the front mount i am using came as a kit for the 04 sti. the hardest part of it was that i had to make my own bumper beam for mount the core. i had the center of the stock bumper beam cut out and then welded in some peices of 1"x1" angle iron to make a 1" x 2" c channel then boxed it in with a peice of 2" flat stock. then that was welded to the front of the beam to reinforce the bumper. then to mount the core, i had another peice of 2" flat stock welded to the top of the original beam, then drilled out for the bolt holes. took about two days of messing around to get it done, but it works rather well and seems to be rather strong. eh, im sure ive missed something, but feel free to ask me anything. peace tim

at least you went to the prom. i skipped my senior prom, mainly cause i hate dances and yeah, the whole getting dumped the week before by a girl i was retared for as well. needless to say, i had no desire to to be anywhere near other people at that point anyways. awww, i made myself cry again

that would be what my rx is missing, most likely the entire reason my vents dont work, lol.

man, all those drifters out there would be jealous with your sideways skills. and all that with the dog in the back too, thats style and skill!

havea safe trip man. good luck with everything.

got some pics? id like to see this. i am hoping to get my rx set up for stage rally once i start working again.

well, if you can find your way up to frederick maryland, i could help out with that. i have a few elctrical tools and a bit of expiriance chasine gremlins. im no master, not by far, but i am willing to help. i am available just about anytime, i am slighly unemployed and for at least hte next week, i am recovering from a biopsy, so im not going to be doing much of anything.

i might have to take back my previos post, due to some medical issues, im not sure what will be going on that weekend. i am still in pain from my biopsy on tuesday, but i dont know what the doctors are going to want me to do in the next few weeks. im going to try to make it, but on top of the medical stuff, i amalso unemployed again, so money is nearly non existant for me anymore i might be able to igure stuff out by time the race comes up. if anyone wants to donate to te get tim to the race fund, lol, ill be accepting a place to sleep and maybe a tent as my car isnt that comfy to sleep in. im sure ill actually figure something out though. but if i dont make it to the race, good luck keith.

and i thought i had too much free time. my next project will be getting over cancer, but the first thing after that will be rounding out my rx project. looks like your car is coming together nicely. cant wait to see it running man. good luck and have fun.

the new impreza looks like rump roast, but the sti version actually looks cool. pity ill never be able to afford it.

that is sexy myfriend.

usually they are cut to length, i am running accell wires that i picked up a while back, set fora v8 so i get two sets of wires outta it. they get the job done.

they need to just get the rules changed so that they can go back to the gc8 rally cars, they kicked a lot more rectalmeats with those cars than they have any other. and they just look cool.

is that a supercharger i spy in there?

of course granted, they are a little out of date,

thn sensors are cheap enough as it is anyways, just make sure the plug is clean and the wire isnt corroded.

so yeah, had the biopy today, i hurt more than i have in a long time. but yeah, they said that it looked like cancer, but i think i am going to wait for the official results of the biopsy. im still going to try to do the cookout tomarrow. but i am in a lot of pain, so ill have to see how things go.

wow, just wow. think the topic got a little distracted,
