  1. New engine new hoses so it should be easy. Will look in the morning. thanks
  2. There is a removal tool ! Ive been fighting my arm for two weks now and it wont come off. nipper
  3. i see them on the bottom of the engine, so they must be on top too, maybe just buried. That and im over tired, very sore and grumpy which may not be helping
  4. If this is a manual you can drop the driveshaft. nipper
  5. Yes and yes. Also RWD is tradditionally 3 point mounts, two at the engine one at the tranny, so that makes it really easy. nipper
  6. When Blu is happy i am happy. 600 watts and all is well, I dont need a sub woofer. I am very good at annoying the cars around me with nickleback without one nipper
  7. OK im going to suspect the cable. Not everything that is yellow is gold, and how many fiats do you see running around. Disconnect the cable from the fork and make sure you can move the fork by hand. I dont expect you to negage the clutch, but youll know fairly cuick if the fork is seized or not. nipper
  8. Is it an OE cable or after market. Either its a poor quality cable or there is something causing it to stretch. Is there any free play at the clutch fork? How old is the clutch? There arent that many parts here to go wrong. Is there any free play at the clutch fork? nipper
  9. You havent lived untill you drove a car with one speed and no clutch in traffic nipper
  10. You need a clutch cable. The cable is stretching and fraying. Eventually you will have a really easy club pedal as it lays on the floor. nipper
  11. well the new engine was at least 2/3 cheaper then a new sooby and none of the new soobies come in pretty colors. nipper
  12. Yes. Well Blu may go to Alaska this year, thats why i want the gauges hooked upo, and why i have a CB question on the board. The TT has s amll turbo and larger one, theory is the smaller one spins up faster at lower RPM. I am really happy with the new engine, cost be damned. I told them i didnt want to open the hood for 106,000 miles, so they replaced things I wouldnt normally. But this way I got a 3/36K warrenty too. nipper
  13. Much better. Check the MM battery. It can also be one leg of the wheatstone bridge, not to sure. Electronics not my strongpoint. nipper
  14. Blu is (factory new) 2.5L non turbo. The gauges are volt, oil temp and oil press. I even have the factory harness wired up. It plugged into the radio harness. Blu almost got a jdm TT but when he threw a rod in CA i had no choice but to get him a new engine. nipper
  15. Yes. And those sweet outlets came from subaru for the stupidly cheap price of 15.00 for this sweet sweet kit. I would have guessed it to be a 45.00 kit. nipper
  16. every 106,000 miles or every 120,000 (60x2) I change Timing belt Tensioner Idler Cam seals Main Seal re seal the oil pump (replace at 200K) Water pump T stat It may seem expensive, but what is your time worth? any one of those parts failing mean at the very least tearing the front of the engine apart again. Do ti once and your guarenteed not to have to do it again untill the next interval. DOing these things in peice meal is far more expensive then doing it all at once. And it can be extreemly expensive if you have an interfernce engine. Asking seals or idler/tensioner to last over 120K is asking alot of them. Look at all the time you have already invested. If it turns out you have a bad tensioner, guess what. You need to tear everything down again. Thats time lost. nipper
  17. you think they were fine. A new belt can restore tension to the system and can make a border line part fail. They may seem fine to you, but at that mileage I wouldnt trust them. nipper
  18. Have the chargning system load tested after the battery is in. I have a feeling you have two issues, nipper
  19. HELL YES! Thats the doohicky . I dont have an intercooler so it should be easy. I have the JDM oil press oil temp and voltage gauges and sensors. There als are some mystery electronics which i cant figure out (anyone want to see a pic). Best i can tell the mystery electronics are not needed (may have to do with a turbo timer not sure). The gauges are in my photo gallery nipper
