Funny you should mention that, because my access cover for the TC has been missing for years -I think it just fell off one day, and I never bothered to replace it. In any event, I'm beginning to wonder if something didn't fall in there; perhaps a small rock or something along those lines -it would ...

First off, a little background: the car is my daily driver -a 90 LS AWD 4eat with 200k (just turned 200k btw).
In any event, a very peculiar, rather unsettling noise has recently began emanating from somewhere suspiciously near the TC. At first I thought it might be a loose cat or something ...

Well, that was thoughtful of them, wasn't it? Sheesh... Personally, I'd be happy to have any blowing defrost, heat, etc. My HVAC control unit gave up the ghost months ago, and now that's it crappy out with snow, sub-freezing arctic temps, and the occasional ice storm, my only salvation has been a ...

D'oh! Also, the left, rear accent window molding -some f'ing kids, literally, ripped mine off; it was loose and within arms reach... go figure.

I'm interested in BOTH of the fenders; the dings and such aren't an issue -overall structural integrity is.
Also, if the HVAC unit is working, I'd be very interested as well.
PM me

If it's doable, and they're in good shape, both font fenders. Color isn't an issue. Additionally, the HVAC control unit (although I recently understand that there may be some issue in harness fitment between the 90-91's and the 92's? I hadn't ever heard of this (I thought the issue was only relevant ...

How about the HVAC control unit? Got one? Still operational? PM me.

Hey guys, it's been awhile, but with the winter fast approaching, it's high time I took care of my HVAC unit (NE Ohio winters are not something to experience without a working defroster/heater). That said, I'm in the market for one. Preferably as inexpensively as possible.
Additionally, I'm ...

Legacy777's scans should idiot proof any efforts to change the diff fluids, so that'll be a no-brainer.
However, my personal choice for differential fluid is Amsoil 75w90 full synth. I use it in both diffs and have done so, religiously, for the last 7 years. It's pricey, but it's virtually ...

Body panels, body panels, body panels!! I'm looking for fenders, both of them -assuming they're not rusted out.
Presently, the ones on my car are terminal (embarrassingly so).
If you decide to part it out, PM with a price.
Also, if it still works, the heating and AC control unit.

This may have been covered at some point, but despite searching the suspension sticky, I'm still not sure if there's a way to figure out what I'm trying to figure out...
My dilemma: I have a complete set of WRX struts and coilsprings to replace my really, really beat old ones. The trouble? I'm not ...

They're a great investment imho, but you'll need to be creative in so far as how you go about trying to install one -at least on an auto w/ AC.
There is, literally, no place to install it. I bought one (after having invested in others in the past) for my LS AWD n/a and ended up having to return it ...

Well goddamn... I feel like a total boner. The n/a block would most likely be able to handle a turbo installation with proper tuning, though... right?

*edited for embarassing grammatical errors -is grammatical even a word?*

Okay. Here's the story: friend of a friend buys an Evo. Friend's friend wrecks Evo -like totaled. However, the car has pretty much been cannabalized since said wrecking. I, however, end up with the brakes (the whole set; fronts and backs, master, etc..). Before I try anything crazy, will these fit ...

Woah there...! Pardon my interjection, but I was under the impression that the EJ22's (n/a or turbo) were closed deck configs. Besides, some internals, the turbo and a few other odds and ends I thought both the EJ22 and EJ22T were pretty much the same.
Am I incorrect in assuming they both use the ...

Does someone have a link to the thread where a guy was trying to test the limitations of what an EJ22 block could handle? IIRC, he was hitting like 11k rpms before he sustained any appreciable damage and when he did it wasn't neccessarily a critical engine failure... IIRC.
Anyway, it was a hella ...

Amazing how quickly (relatively) things can turn around.
I remember how down in the dumps you were right around this time last year. I'm glad things are working out Matt.
"there but for the grace of God"
Way to go man.

Way to go William! Best of luck to you brother -sounds like you have yourself a keeper .

Just hang in there man... in matters where faith is involved, it alway's pay's to hang in there a little longer -you never know what'sa around the corner. Seriously...
Been right where you are, am right where you are. Job is in the can for the next month (skilled tradesman here; weather and parent ...

Well, turns out it was, in fact, the waterpump. Sumbitch took a crap on me this afternoon (fortunately, only 1/4 mile from my destination; temp gauge was climbing, but never made it to the red zone *whew*).
Looks like I get to dismantle the front of the car this weekend. Yay.

It happens all the time: from start up to shut down. It's not loud, loud... but it's loud enough to be a "damn, what in the Hell is that?" kinda sound.
brat4x4 and I could'nt point either of our respective fingers at it; I thought a water pump failure maybe... either way, I think it's bad.
-little ...

What is the sound of a failing main bearing? A koan, submitted for your approval.
I've lately experienced a disconcerting "noisy engine" sound that's got me really worried.
It's essentially a metallic knocking, combined with a pinging sort of sound.
However, it's not rpm related, nor has it effected ...

Ahh, fair maiden necessity(sp?), the mother of invention. Glad to hear you're up and running again. This is the sc, nitrous machine, right?

Godamn! I never fail to loose interest in the meanderings of the posters on this board; despite the fact that I'm n/a, the wealth of technical information that I'm exposed to continually inflates my depressurized grey matter. Fuckin' cool. Carry on tuners, carry on...

Wow. Knowing Cipers back, I may not have to make any more drunken posts. This is a good thing.
Since he's been gone, I've had to do way too much blundering and unneccessary tinkering on my 4EAT, essentially, in the dark.
I'm heartend to know our boy, "still lives". Amen Ciper. You are missed.
