Yes I left some stickers and no you can't have my behymen.

40 dollars to fix the one second pause in the driveline. Worth it. I need to do another set up here and weld the rings up into a press tool so I can not have to gently caress with sawzall/fire/air hammer to get the old ones out and can instead just bolt on a THING and impact the old bushes out.



Also if you find my leatherman please put it aside for me k thx.

The dales pale was good too. THANK YOU FOR THE HOSPITALITY.

Ahahaha gently caress yeah!

I'm glad I was able to instill the wisdom and greatness that is Subaru trailing arm bushings.

We made it happen with what we got, but yeah that torch and the vice I'm sure that job was crushed out easy.

Roommate's Grand Cherokee cracked a head or some such nonsense. He's pulling one from the junkyard today and we're putting it in this weekend.

Some dude randomly wants to take some pictures of Subarus in my garage because they like that poo poo I guess.

Also have a turbo swap coming up on... you guessed it... a Subaru.

I really need to find some non-Subaru people.

Edit: Oh, I also have a weird intermittent vague feeling in the front end of the MR2 that I suspect is a worn tie rod giving up the ghost. We'll see for sure after the "new" cylinder head is on the Sneep.

I hope the turbo swap is someone going up a size and not someone replacing a bad turbo thats probably already half way through fragging their motor :ohdear:

Roommate spent 3 hours taking a new-looking shiny head off a junkyard motor to find two shattered pistons embedded in it.

Pro tip. Spin the motor over by hand with a breaker bar. If you feel compression with no gaps you're less likely to have a dumper of a motor.

Dude. Fire this guy.

That is going to be a project where you are doing all the work because hes a token idiot loving brobaru owner.

I had one of those projects and NEVER AGAIN. Was supposed to be a motor in and he was going to be "guy who's project it was and he was supposed to have a clue". I was just to help and have the garage.

Turns out I tied up my folks garage for a weekend dressing and installing a motor that had the wrong up pipe and down pipe to finish the job. He got it dropped off in front of his parents house on our trailer with a GOOD LUCK.

I heard a while back that the stage thing makes more sense on older subarus (early USDM WRXes, etc) since there's a relatively standard progression of "what to upgrade next". Could be complete bullshit, but I do usually hear that terminology from subaru guys these days.

1: tune
2: downpipe + tune
3: turbo + supporting mods
everything else is retarded need for speed/ebay poo poo like a stage 2 blowoff valve or stage 5 clutch etc

XJ/MJ heater core pro tip/ghetto hack.

If you want to gamble like I did on my 99, undo both heater core hoses in the engine bay not from the fire wall.

Run what water and compressed air you can through the hoses. If you get steady stream and or garbage flowing out great! If not...

ITS TIME TO GAMBLE

Tie the hoses up high in the engine bay and fill both with CLR. Then flush the hoses the next morning.

You will get either one of two results which is why this is gambling. Your blockage will be cleared.. OR the blockage that is the pin hole leaks in your rusty garbage heater core will be cleared and puke coolant in your interior.

I gambled and won. It was in January. And that is my XJ heater core story.

The twin turbos suck. Most people convert them to single.

The best part? They physically don't fit in a LHD car. The 2nd turbo hits the steering shaft.

TT swaps are a good mineshaft cannary for stupid subaru owners. You can see a subaru bro tard coming from a mile away when they say "i want to do a TT swap"

Yeah it doesn't work like that. This guy will show up and not have a clue and adiabatic will have to bust rear end just to get the turd out the door or let the thing sit there for weeks while idiot owner head scratches because they bit off more than they can chew.

Been there done that. Like I said, TT swaps suck and don't actually work on usdm cars and anyone who suggest them doesn't have an idea of what they are doing and won't be able to do the job themself.

The bed bolts are on the top not the bottom!??!

I have to pull the F250 bed this fall to repair the cross bracing. Should be easy with the welder and that they're on top. The bed has a liner.

Also good job on the inlet, those things are a bitch.

I run a real gear which is apparently a Lincoln knock off.

It's great for body work and light fabrication. If I'm going to weld huge structural pieces or offroad bumpers gently caress that, but for doing terrible body work, installing mustang frame stiffeners, or doing a panhard bar, it's close enough.

I just jumped in head first to welding and it turned out okay. We aren't running it on anything more than a standard poo poo teir outlet either.





Lil' bit of welding, lil' bit of filler, lil' bit of paint, you can slam the car into stumps and be 'aight.

Nice work. Hopefully the leaking is gone. I haven't seen them leak bad. When I tore my car apart twice it was actually the oil pan.

:spergin: Also, the STi limited came with a small flush spoiler on the trunk, not a wrx wing. In addition to that the were only made in 07, not 05 like that car is. That is just an STi that has had the trunk swapped. :spergin:
