Turbone

Got some stuff dont today. Still need a few items for the engine....lower rad hose, timing belt cover-left side, mostly misc stuff. The front end parts arent fitting like I hoped because 98 doesnt mesh with 02 stuff. The bumper skin and hood is from a 98 and the headlights and grill are 02. Still deciding on whether to try and find 02 parts now or later. Might be hard to find a black hood for a 02 :-\ The original headlights are pretty messed up. Passenger side is all broken up and both are real foggy. Going to cost about $100+ to replace both.

Well, how many miles did it have on it? You can always pull it and split it open to see what happened, but rebuilding one isnt cheap. When you put a used trans in, its a roll of the dice. Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you dont.

New fans.

GD, do you know of a secret stash of 22T ECU's? Cause they are getting as rare as the engines now. If you use a EJ20 ECU (OBDII) its tuning capabilities are tons more accessible and tuneable than any 22T ECU would ever be. And if you use a access port with it you could run any number of maps.

Yup and he's local to me (Puyallup). Maybe later this year or the beginning of next year I'll be getting a chipped EJ22T ECU from him. I could care less about me messing with the parameters of this ECU, if I want to do that (down the road) I'll get the EJ20G ECU. Theres a good write up LC about making the EJ20G ECU work for a franken engine. http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=37071

Put a pair of visegrips on the fitting and find a way to clamp the mount down. Use the handle of a hammer to smack the visegrip to break the fitting loose.

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.
