  1. Cool, there's a bunch of lifted subaru guys at the car wash there by the freeway exit. I got back on the freeway, and saw an RX going the opposite direction.
  2. my 84 fleetwood brougham only goes in 1st gear(1 is all you need:brow: ). Someday I'll try to figure out why.
  3. Lets just say the picture did it no justice. Double rainbow, very vibrant colors.
  4. I have become a familiar face at the local hose supply shop:rolleyes:
  5. Go easy on them, those little pieces like to break.
  6. Just lost one of my heating hoses( luckily an easy fix, once I get the hose), looked to be in great condition, but I guess not. Thats the 4th cooling hose in a couple of weeks, and not to mention, the power steering lines had a hole melted in them. So I've pretty much replaced every hose on the car. Is there something that could be causing too much pressure in the cooling system? I replaced the radiator cap a week ago as well.
  7. Are you using the extra bolt holes, or just sticking with the original 2 on each side? Use this time with the engine out to do something creative with the power steering lines, and watch for the metal cooling line like wjm mentioned.
  8. I just did this the other day, without removing the turbo. I just removed the cooling banjo part as well, this can be a pain too(to re-install), if you haven't done it before. It was an easy job overall.
  9. I saw one just the other day, driving through town. It was grey and had larger RX decals than mine. It was NICE looking!.
  10. It only took me several hours, nothing like a week. I have an extra turbo, so I figured I would give it a shot
  11. That's cool, It actually looks exactly the same as mine. (did it with a dremel) Can't really compare old a new though, since I did the headers at the same time.
  12. And make sure your power steering lines aren't doing the same. Because i had to have new/custom one made, and re-routed them. I don't care I love my twe
  13. I shouldn't bee expensive to replace them, because they probably will break. I just went to a nearby hose shop, and got 4 different 3 foot sections of hose for under $10
  14. Glad to see you are doing this. I would like to as well at some point. did you see this page? http://www.netcomuk.co.uk/~gavinp/airwater.htm
  15. I agree with all the above posts. I had the same exact things happen with my car when I put the new engine in. The ticking went away by simply adding a little bit more oil. The shaky/poorly running/knocking engine syndrome went away after I properly adjusted the timing to spec
  16. Replace your cooling hoses, make sure you have all your copper washers in with your banjo bolts (4 of them) and torque everything down properly. See what happens.
  17. did you check this? http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=31318&highlight=coolant+temp+sensor
  18. He can't use a water sprayer for autocross, ...rules. Nothing that would get water on the track.
  19. oh, hose broke, and the last peice wasn't coming off, so I was about ready to just take off the intake manifold, but I removed the fan instead, to get more room to work. So, I'm ok now, got the hose on and putting it back together.
