  1. Not to many choices on cap and rotor, altho I've never heard of the YEC brand. If its from Japan, it cant be all bad (?). I found a set of NGK plug wires on Ebay, look around there. Mine are 7mm and seem to be working fine. Theres a concoction out there called "Scotties Cocktail". http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=920674&highlight=scotties+cocktail I have it in my 89 RX and its working better now.
  2. Better off getting ahold of Emily at CCR and getting a rebuilt short block.
  3. You need to re-set the ECU. Either disconnect the battery for about a hour or go thru the re-set procedure here - http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=49918
  4. Sorry, not going to be much help here. This needs to be posted in the New Gen forum.
  5. They are only canted out a little tiny bit. And I will drive my SVX when the weather gets hot enough. Which is about 1 week out of the year Oh, I just rememberd....my Imp has A/C :-p
  6. I was able to mount them in that location because I dont have a AC condensor. Thats why Russ hasnt got a grill to cover his yet. You may have to mount yours insdie the engine compartment, but theres lots of room in there and thier loud enough it wont be a problem. Might want to be sure everything is tight in there tho, it might rattle it loose :-p
  7. Got tired of the weak horns and my air horns wouldnt work 100% of the time. So a while ago I forked out the $ for some Hella Supertones. Installed the yesterday. Man, those suckers are LOUD!
  8. If you want to be price conscious, look at the Potenza 960AS Pole Positions. They are a all season tire, but here in the PNW, I think its needed. I just put a set on my 89 RX after a bunch of research and for the money they are hard to beat. And so far I'm really liking them. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Bridgestone&tireModel=Potenza+RE960AS+Pole+Position
  9. My mind is really in the gutter this morning. I ROFLMAO reading this. Thanks GD.....and sorry :-p
  10. Why? The tabs are still good :-p Remy has a nice ring to it. Whats the significance?
  11. Why? Are you feeling older than that? Happy B-Day bud
  12. Lookin good! I like the black out lenses, might do that to mine How's it running? You neglected to mention that :-p
  13. Its restricted from the turbo back. If you want it to breath better, get a 2.5in system from the DownPipe back. Put just about any muffler you want on, but if you put a big fart can on, dont post pics here of it. The next recommendation I have for you, is to learn the search function
  14. Isnt Gary Gross somewhat close to you? He seems to know alot about everything.....
  15. With a better suspension setup, the push and weight problem would be minor. And this would be the best bang for the buck. If you (Zukiru) make it to the Dragon this year, you have to get a ride in Frankenwedge. You might change your mind about the 2.5
  16. Did you clean the seals? If they are clean of mold, dirt, etc they will seal to the glass better.
  17. Give a hollar to the lads at ausubaru.com. There should be some in that area that would like to meet up with a yank and show him around
  18. Have you tried taking the axle off the stub and working on it that way? Someone said the stub may be hung up on the sleeve that seperates the bearings. Have you pulled the stub out and tried looking to see if its dropped and in the way?
  19. TD04 is perfect for the EA82T. It can safely be boosted up to 12psi. BUT, you better have a fresh build on the engine if you go that high. Mild cams are ok, altho in my case using stock cams and as a daily, my mileage is just now starting to get better. I get about 270mi per tank, compared to 230 not long ago. Dont ask me why, I dont know If I had the money I would port and polish a spyder intake and do the same to the turbo. Ceramic coat piston crowns, etc. I'm running a WRX DP to 2.5in exhaust and it seems to breath fine. I need to get my narrow band A/F gauge working so I know whats going on. My last engine failure was due to pre detonation from over boost (bad ebay mbc). I also think my knock control unit is on the fritz. I am unable to pass our emissions test at idle. The thing runs rich all the time. Which is fine by me. But a dyno test will verify everything I've done so far. On my last dyno run, all I had done was the exhaust, air filer(K&N), MSD coil, stock turbo and boost. It was putting out 100AWHP, which isnt to bad. I've been contemplating a oil cooler, but my entire cooling system is new and it runs cooler than normal. Also have a WRX IC installed. If you are going to run higher boost and romp on it often, than meth inj might be a good idea. Its getting real popular here on Rex's and STI's. Any upgrades I do now will be to get Nissan injectors, a fuel regulator and a higher flow fuel pump.
  20. Alright, somebody better PM me those "other" pics
  21. I got pissed at it and cut most of it out Sorry. And its running now. Just needs a oil change and plugs. Got the front bumper on, but the headlight wiring got hacked up due to the projector lens installation Got the headliner replaced and all the console out. Next the dash gets replaced then I can start putting it all back together inside. I also need a right headlight (glass). If anyone knows where I can find one, please let me know.
  22. You can try and straighten it out once you take it off. But its hardly worth the effort, theres plenty of mirrors available. Of course, I have several
