PSL-54c, which is the Romanian knockoff.

It's also got a significant price difference, something to the tune of $1k in price difference.

Oh boo loving hoo. Why is it so hard for people to understand that, while you're willing to help them, you do have your own stuff to sort out, and as much as you may enjoy wrenching on cars, you're not a charity.

gently caress these people, you go well out of your way to help them, assholes.

That being said, do you have some sort of legal boilerplate drawn up that people sign prior to you touching their car? You should probably look into that just in case someone is more than willing to chew you out :tinfoil:

You almost had me there and then I looked at the username :v:

I remember when I had my E30 on my friend's lift for most of two days because it was my first ever suspension install. Luckily he was very understanding and was expecting me to gently caress it up, and I more than made up for it the next week when I helped him do a clutch on an STi (Fuckin SUBARUUUS). Oh god that sucked.

You either have the genuine good guystm or the brobaru owners. There's also the "car-owner" crowd but they're not an issue.

Subaru's are genuinely awesome, and they're worth owning even if you end up with a bit of a problem child, but the owners can be terrible. Locally I've organized a few meets and it's mostly good guys, but a few questionable. I've heard from one that summer tires are fine in winter, and others are just woefully misinformed about cars or mechanical systems in general, but they can learn if their not cemented in their ignorance. Thankfully there aren't too many hellaflush subies here (probably because of the legendarily lovely roads)

We need more good owners. So good AI-ers, buy more subies!

Didn't get to the Comanche last weekend, and I doubt I will this weekend with my birthday party. Works well since work and school have both gone into overdrive.

News on that Legacy: he found some schmuck that let him use his garage. They started on Saturday, the motor came out Sunday, the clutch comes in this Thursday maybe. He's looking frantically for exhaust gaskets on their forum right now for some reason.

I don't understand why people tear their cars apart without having everything they think they will need to put it back together on hand already. Kinda defeats the point and wastes everyone's time... it's bad enough when you realize you need something you didn't think of, but going in saying "hey let's do a clutch, I'll pull it apart and then order one or wait for it to come in" makes no goddamn sense to me.

If you're doing anything that involves tearing into the major components of the driveline, it will take twice as long as you think it will, and you WILL NOT have everything you thought you'd need, whether it's parts or tools.

It's essentially Newtons Fourth Law.

Uhhh... you learned by tearing up your poo poo without even having the parts on hand you knew you were going to need? Because the plan was to replace them?

I'm sorry, that's as loving retarded as deciding you're going to cook pancakes, except all you have is the butter and baking soda. So you mix those, turn the stove on, and realize maybe you should get the rest, then go to get the rest at the store while the stove is still on, oh and this isn't even your kitchen?

No, read the drat ingredients list first. And buy the stuff on it.
