  1. very cool... how loud is it? sound police go after you often?
  2. according to the SPT brochure, sti brand radiator caps hold 18.9 lbs. fits impreza and forester.
  3. sounds fun, that is, if i can roll my butt out of bed that early.
  4. if you get an xt with an ea82t, you can bolt a vf11 off of an early legacy turbo, and from there you can bolt on a wrx downpipe. im not sure of all the exact details, because i havent done it yet... will, care to chime in?
  5. what kind is it? did you make sure all your hoses are clamped tight? did you try to adjust the controller?
  6. lol, kinda looks like my computer room right now, half computer junk, half car junk
  7. i cross-posted this thread over at wrxtuners.com, maybe we can get a few more people to register. http://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7594
  8. is there anything else that needs to be brought to the show, or that i can locate for you, scott? on a side note, if anyone would be interested in paintballing, bring your supplies along. we might be able to play a few games on some land that my friends father owns.
  9. hey scott, dont forget i registered the buggy with carlisle also. the WRX is # 2066 and the buggy is #2067.
  10. took me a little while, but i finally got what i wanted! this saturday, i picked up an 04 wrx. 5- speed, premium package, OZ wheels, lots of mods, and i just turned 15000 miles driving it home. this car is fantastic!
  11. im going into CVM subaru tomorrow, or today, whatever it is.... ill ask about banners or maybe a subaru flag. this just in! i registered my new baby - 04 wrx, and the buggy!
  12. ive got a huge list too, but no specific timeline... -paint rear where rust was repaired -install sti hoodscoop -install wrx intercooler & plumbing -install a new muffler -upgrade suspension -steering rack bushing mod -replace sunroof with steel -replace gl-10 drivers seat bracket with non-height adjust bracket -paint/powdercoat 15" pugs -redo intake tract stuff on the backburner: -rally mudflaps -repaint entire car -redo entire exhaust, turbo back 2.5" -rollbar/cage
  13. the uppipe is the exhaust manifold/header/crossover pipe. this is connected to the turbo. then you have the downpipe which flows exhaust to the cats, then to the muffler.
  14. do all ea82t's have a stock boost controller mounted on the fender? i have a turbo off another ea82t and it just had a line from the compressor that went to the wastegate.
  15. theres a stock boost controller? i have the plain turboxs boost controller. i hooked mine into the line that goes between the wastegate and some pressure line that came from something mounted on the passenger side fender. works like a charm!
  16. ah ha! i see youre the only other person who knows how to correctly install a turbocharger. slap it on!
  17. ah, now it works... i like that setup. thats a RRFPR, right? whats the black hose coming from the front of it?
  18. how does the car ride? my friend put some el cheapo coilovers on his cavalier, and he hates the ride, its too bouncy.
  19. it would be cool if we could get a rallycross going. ive yet to hear of any local scca branches doing rallycross. if there was enough interest, it might be enough to convince one or two to start hosting them.
  20. it might be worth it if youre considering buying another subaru and upgrading it. gl-10s already have a lot of goodies from the factory, so you might be saving yourself time and effort. what year is it? check the fenderwells and underbody and exhaust system for rust. depending on the condition, you might justify talking the seller down.
  21. i think hes trying to say your injectors are still opening the same distance, and staying open for as long as they were before you upped your fuel pressure. youll see more of a performance increase if you install new injectors which are rated to flow more fuel.
  22. looks sharp! i want more info on the coilover install! i need a suspension that makes me think more rally car and less open seas.yarr matie!
  23. i thought slotted rotors were also supposed to add more 'bite' because the edge of the slot cut into the brakepad, thus increasing braking ability..?
