good idea to check with an ohmmeter.

Both have the visible link.

I my experience, yes when those 'new' fuses blow, it's pretty obvious to the eye. One way to check a blown fuse is to switch it with another of the same rating. Ageing is challenging! Especially eyesight. I find that good lighting helps, but it is a PIT! I always console myself by watching the latest world news ,and realizing that I have little to complain about compared to people in other parts of the world.

yup, other half had the same problem with his 06 - both went out at the same time even.. which was why we thought it couldnt be the bulbs... checked wiring, fuses, everything we could think of to check... it was the bulbs

Those bulbs go out often. Friend had an 06 Impreza. He changed the bulbs and then a little later in the year the lights went out. He had enough. He sold me the car, it went to my brother in Wisconsin. He still has it. It was the bulbs.

Lastly, I got a little fancy with it and ordered some sound matting off of amazon for the hell of it. I have never used it before, and it was really cheap. I am probably going to order more when I get to the back of the car. And here's my last pick after 3 days straight of getting after it. I owe a lot to my wife for helping me out. We cleaned for hours and hours. The carpet actually smells nice finally, and all the dust from the vents have been Q-tipped and cleaned out. She helped out a ton with getting the dash back in. All the gauges are working how they are supposed to now too.

I still don’t understand why your PS lines are so messy - I use the EJ hoses from the pump to the rack, but over here we don’t have that funky block to hard lines setup as our rack input is on the right side of the car so the PS lines go straight into it. Everything else looks good to me. With the firewall hole, you couldn’t route the wiring through the guard with the length you had in your cutdown loom? Cheers Bennie

i think all ea82 radiators have those ports if you can even find one for a ea82 at all it dosent make sense to manufacture a 2 different radiators for 1 vehicle especially one thats a rare 80 modle disposable econo box

Update Got wheel alignment. As its all new, took a stab at it. not bad out come on the machine. Only .5 out on camber and caster sweet. Just added a bit of toe out. Not bad for a couple of amateurs. Next and what a great day. Finally got it to the track. Big smile on my face , and off we went. All the positive feed back, people loved it, loved the concept. And old girl brought back to life. Car looks sweet at the track. So much room in the cabin. So easy to use. just the thought we put into setting things up made things so easy to operate. So first run (other than up the cowshed track the other day) Car brakes straight, turn in, even for a mid engine car was surprisingly pretty good. Slight ride height needed on front. just a small rub on outer guard. Bu,. and yes but We had a problem. The car for some reason would not run very well over 3000-4000 rpm. It would miss fire, cut out with too much throttle ? So I played with the fuel pressure a bit. Good note, the oil pressure stayed over 90 psi through corners. Plus But as a new build I spent my time looking at oil pressure and then water temp. Temp didn't get over 59 degrease. But because it wasn't revving to high ? And then I looked at the boost problem. Seamed to be spiking up and down under boost ? Under very little throttle it would run up to say 5000 rpm but then would cut out, After that I would get no throttle response until I changed down a gear? Don't even think its getting to the 2nd turbo? What's your thoughts Boost cut? Anyway, that's what you get from a new build. Even the new Rx8 beside me had problems. K swapped turbo, running up to 600 hp on fuel boost only running 400hp over heating. But that's another story . Still loved driving it. its so cool
