the felpro gaskets i used arent bad.

make sure that you use anti seize on the bolts when you put it back together.

http://www.deadboltspeed.com they are said to be the best.

i gotta get pics of my manifold, its black and red, and the fuel lines are polished. looks nice but yours looks better.

mine doesnt have any major rust, but i would want to keep te stuffs i just put on it, spent too much to give it away.

is your friend looking for a car that needs work, or do they want something ready to go, right away.

im temped to offer my rx. granted, it needs work. that and id keep my pugs and stereo stuffs.

thats something that would have been helpful a while back, thanks for posting that shadow. now i just gotta hit up advanced and get an adapter. that and i need to change the color of the wheel i got sitting in the car.

with my engine, im not going for different compression or cheap parts, i am trying to build an engine that will be bullet proof.i want an ea82t that will withstand high boost and possibly high rpm. this is, of course, a long term project for me, i dont expect to be finished till at least fall if not winter.

i think the wrx rod would put the piston through the head, doesnt it already come flush to the deck at tdc? for that, i could see having to get a custom crank shaft made to accomodate the extra length.

i think the pin size could be overcome, somehow.probably just need custom rods. what about the hight from thetop of the piston to the center of the pin? is that the same between the two?

i think i just need to top off the fluids, but first i need to fix the leak from my oil pan and get a new front u-joint and i think the car will be ready to fly. granted ive ben driving it for like two or three weeks on expired tags now and i need to get it inspected, but that doesnt happen if i cannt get it fixed.

hey will, hit me up this afternnon if you get a chance, i should be online around 3 ish, i have an ecu outta an 87 gl-10. i tried swapping it when the rx wouldnt start, but the ecu wasnt my problem, turned out to be a bad connection, thus i have a spare ecu. ill be online later.

i got a spare for you.

keep me informed if you come across anything, i need to find out for my build. thanks will.

sounds alot like my rx a few months ago, it turned out to be a loose connection in the fuse block, the fuse was fine, but it wouldnt start, then when it was tapped by a test probe, it touched the contact and the relay clicked. it had me stumped for 2 months and i spent well over $200 in ignition parts trying to figure it out. good luck man.

im so happy to hear that you arent hurt, and i know youll be taken care of by the usmb, thats why its here. hope all goes well with getting back on your feet. peace tim c.

i dont know what hurts more, my ribs from my frined punching me, or seein the brat in that condition. my thoughts are with you, i only hope you are allright, the brat, although painful to loose, can be replaced, you arent replacable. good luck recovering from this. peace tim c.

the only issue i ave about going alone is that i dont know the way and with my luck my car will break on me on the way. thats the only issue i have with the rx, sofar, it high maintenance. but ill be driving that if i come up. i hope to have it set up rather nicely by then.

i might be able to venture up that way if nug is still down for it. the way i see it, i can fold the seats down in my rx and i will have a nice bed to crash in. hmmm, if i do that, i might want to insulate the trunk and fix some weather stripping. i really want to come out there and meet you guys. peace tim c.

i go with everyone else in saying "get it now". i dont agree with those who say it will be disappointing compared to a rs, i have 2000 2.5rs thats been moded and a rx the i just got a new turbo back exhaust on last night. i love both cars, infact, i think i enjoy driving the rx a little bit more than the impreza, granted the impreza is an auto and the rx is a 5 spd d/r

now, where could one such as me find a starion intercooler? im thinking that would be hotness.

beat me to it. the real question is how do you get an adaptor for the wheel?

i wonder whats so different between lhd and rhd cars, other than the obviouslike the driver being on the right.

try insulating the turbo from the engine a bit better, i know somee out here will say that the turbo isnt a problem, but when it rests over #3 and there are always issues with 3, then i tend to put 2 and 2 together. the extra heat from the turbo can and will adversly affect the cylender, ive seen it numerous times on wrx's, especially if its modded and been pushed for while. look into getting a turbo insulation kit, i think that you can get em for about $50 and they are made to take extream temps and help under hood temps and hp. just my thoughts on the issue, that and the stock fuel system needs work.
