Thanks for doing all the leg work on those bushings, I've been trying to find replacements for a while. A little fyi on your zerks - you should have a hole in the bushing so the grease can make it into the inner part, where it usually starts to squeak first.

Go to see and hear this in person today, words just cant describe it lol

I heard rumors.........so what kind of numbers did you get before the clutch started slipping?

Are you using gas? Makes a big difference. Also make sure the surface is clean bare metal. When welding thin metal you need to make small spot welds, otherwise you burn thru and/or warp the metal. Spread out the spot welds then fill in after it cools down.

You dont, its for informational use only. You need to post your question in the Old Gen forum.

What do you want to know? Theres year models of WRX's that have glass transmissions. In later years the WRX went to a 2.5. Most STi's have been modded and you really need to know what your looking at mechanically when you buy one, or know the previous owner. Your best bet is to find a stock 02-03 WRX owned by a adult. Miles arent that major, but good maintenance is.

Is anyone going to show up today? :-\

I think you need 10 posts to enable the PM function. So you have one more to go.

I'm in (tentative, may have to work) for Sat afternoon.

Try a pair of small vise grips. I've used them several times on most of the brake bleeder valves as they are usually corroded tight. Once loose, use a wrench again.

The fronts bolted right in, no fabbing required. I still need to fine tune them, I'm scraping the left front fender. The rears were a little more involved and took some drilling. The bottom bushing is bigger on the BC's and the EA bolt is too loose. I pressed the bushing out of the EA shock and was going to do the same on the BC but it was messing up the polyurethane so I said screw it. I knocked off the capture nut on the bottom shock mount, drilled the hole out and used a bigger bolt. The EA top mount needed the bottom bushing cup cut off and then put on the tophat of the BC. That bolted up fine I'm a little bummed on the back ones tho. I'm adjusted all the way down and its just a tad lower than what I had stock I didnt take pics of the backs yet.

Post a thread int the Wanted Forum.

You will need to remove the center console to get to the guts of the handle. I believe theres a spring in there, this might have popped loose or broke.

I know of 2 other people having b-days that weekend (me being one). I'll make a appearance up there for the day. Dont have a decent off-roader any more, but I can hang out and bs with you guys.

Welcome! There are 2 places here you can ask about parts: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=32 http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=37

^^This, better to buy the pack that way you have some for the future. I did a oil change on a Legacy last week that had one of those fiber washers on it, it was garbage.

Dont know why this thread was resurrected when I started a new one last week http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=133601

You might have a little leakage, but it wont shoot out. You need to bled the slave before bolting it back to the trans, its much easier.

Look for me (and my RX) at the Outback Auto vendor booth. Ummm what?

I'm going by what Suberdave did on his coilover install on his wagon. They are completely adjustable, so theres no issue about riding level. Part of the point of coilovers is being able to adjust ride height. I had to use 02 WRX coils up front and 05+ Legacy in the rear. The rear mounts need to be cut in order to fit the tophat of the coilover. The WRX tophats are bigger and the strut tower needs modification also. Its not a bolt in application.

Using the stock top mounts, they need to be trimmed some. When I do the install I'll take pics and notes.

Ordered thru my work from BC. They are in Taiwan.

Yup, for the same reason I've been a member at Nasioc since 02.
