  1. feels like.. coming out of my post office causes the car to lose a bunch of grip like it used to, Anyways maybe it's just me (doubt it) but the car is quicker to react and way less wheel spin.. I would almost get close to a half a rotation of the tire.. Now it's just maybe a chirp and that's it..
  2. Thanks, the yellow fogs are stock but with yellow film I got on ebay.. been on for about a year now.. it really helps with the contrast at night. The JDM headlights I took out the only thing I kept was the bracket to mount the projector in.. I'm running these projectors in the car but the older 2.0 version http://www.theretrofitsource.com/product_info.php?products_id=101 it's a tad tight in the housing with very limited up and down movement.. once I get the ballasts I can check how high/low I need to aim I really miss the tail lights however lol To do the rear end it's going to cost me around $160 or so to convert to LED's at least the two reverse lamps and turn signals only... I'm about to build a LED array for the 3rd brake light
  3. I been here all this time and never knew we had a member's ride haha going be awhile to get everything right but I figure I will start off with this.. I was testing out the JDM headlights i used a 3 up rebel 4500K LED's driven at 700 mA using a signal relay in order to get my high brightness when the headlight is on and turn signal is triggered. I found a resistor which would look good for a parking light brightness, stock RHD projectors were taken out and I put in FX-R projectors in.. I just need the Denso ballast next to finally get everything done. I'm sure most everyone know I just did the transmission last week while I did that I took the clutch off and inspected it and it looked very good, no hot spots or anything. In Aug the car is getting painted all black from it's current dark blue/grey color.
  4. Finally a break in the weather so I tested it today
  5. I've got JDm projectors I've had them on my table for like 3 months now.. I put in some FX-R projectors.. very tight fit which required a lot of cutting.. I'm running some Rebel LED's for turn signals.. I'm using a relay on it so I get my turn/parking light blink when the headlights are on. I'm about 502 Lm at full brightness, Not sure if I ever showed the pictures here but here is a youtube video of me manually powering it. WE have a member's ride section?
  6. Yeah they are a lot better then the USDM lights for sure I like how the turn signals and reverse lights all come with Fresnel lenses. between me needing another set of wheels and tires I might not be able to get them until next month providing I can find someone that's selling
  7. F... I would give my kidneys for the JDM tails.. when I totaled my 95 Legacy I did not have the effen deep sockets to get the tails off and I had to leave them on the car.. They are a rip off to buy.. and those i got for a decent deal because the guy was in NY.. I've been looking for some since I'm painting the car in 2 months and I want to do my custom LED tail lights.
  8. Yeah it sucks lol I worked outside turning a thunderstorm got nice and soaked.
  9. I haven't done anything yet and given it's pretty much going to rain this whole week I'm not sure.. I think one way I can find the hole easy is a have a 23 long inch drill bit and I figure I would stick it in the hole where the bolt goes after I cut it off and then I can find the location with ease and wield on a replacement bolt as well.
  10. I've got this two part epoxy but I used it to mount my LED's to where the turn signal bulbs go and it's not flexible at all
  11. I was wondering before I try this... I have a headlight from a JDM legacy and one of the fingers on the plastic part that pushes over a ball socket broke use to age and me test fitting a projector.. long story short if I don't level it, the light will shoot high.. and since I can't find a socket to fit over the ball the closest size I could find was 1/2" so I was thinking about filling the inside with ultra grey and letting it set.. It says it's flexible but by how much? It's just a pivot point
  12. Are you saying the turn signal relays are the same as a late model impreza or outback?
  13. Does anyone know which electronic flasher works for this car? Does the service manual go over this at all? I know the location but I don't want to have to pull it out just to check.
  14. Yeah they did they switch to plastic??? I had to change the fuel filter on a dodge caravan and the stupid clips on that snapped one of those old brittle lines and it was $230 for a new fuel assembly with the pump and everything.. crappy design.
  15. ^same here.. I had my slave cylinder pop off the tranny (odd) and it ended up sideways with the pin about to pop off.. It was scary because the clutch got rock hard and then I heard a bang and it stuck to the floor.. It would of been a pain without the tool box because that pin was wedged pretty tight.
  16. I just wanted to say after I drove in the new seal (the above still did it a little uneven) but i ended up getting it sorted out by hitting the seal with a rubber mallet, the seal is like all the other reference photos I saw.. I got a little confused at first after I first took it for a drive when I was done because it was smoking like before after highway speeds but I guess that must of been the left over stuff because now it no longer smokes and this is after like 6K runs. having said that the first gasket I used was a fel-pro but then I noticed not too long after they came out with a "new & improved" version at least that's what the description said. Anyways the sealing lip looked smaller on the fel-pro.
  17. I did replace it with a screw clamp but just the hose it's self is a little off it seems.
  18. The passenger side transmission bolt for the crossmember snapped the wielded nut From what I heard people used a hole saw to get to the wielded nut to stop it from spinning in order to get the bolt out? The crossmember is moving around and causes all sorts of movement
  19. Yeah I noticed that on my lower radiator hose.. it was a direct fit but with the factory clamp it drips but not enough to leave a spot on the ground, if I change it again (because I hate things that drip) I'm going to replace the top hose as well since it's overdue.
  20. One day when replacing my starter contacts I bumped one of the hoses and it started to spray a bit (system still under pressure) so that's where my coolant loss was going.. my question is this a dealer item or auto parts store item? I know some auto store stuff is cut to fit but still sometimes has funny bends.
