i doubt it... what rpm is it set at??

Yes, there most definitely is. The above method is right, put it in neutral (park works too) and floor it. My auto will top out at 6500 every time.

I believe so too, i remember seeing a picture of it somewhere..

MK

I'm not sure what the difference is, but you can also get one for any GC8 impreza and it should fit fine.

MK

Actually, with college/work/no license I don't have the time or patience to work everything out.

So you do get your way after all, ciper j/k

cip: I figure i'll upgrade everything that i can.

MSD Coil pack 8229 came in today. The bolt holes are different, either top 2 or bottom 2 can both go in at one time, but not both. It is more of a rectangular shape. Not an issue for me, i'll find a work around :D I'll be stopping by the local mitsu dealer sometime next week to find out about the co...

Really? Seatbelts have a lifetime warranty? A few weeks ago, the first set of "structural fuse" stitches tore out on my driver's lap belt, exposing the "this seat belt should be replaced" label. Are you saying I should just take the car to my local dealer and ask for a new seat ...

I get horrible mileage, mostly city, i'd say 21 is the best i get. Just got a new O2 sensor in today, my old one was throwing CELs, so i hope it helps.

MK

Just ordered the MSD 8229 coil pack. Then saw this thread


I'll let you know how it goes.

You'd like to know wouldn't you?

Swaybar look OK to you?

MK

Correct, no ABS, and it is indeed a hitachi coil pack. I should pick up a diamond pack sometime.... The swaybar is mounted the only way it would go, it bolted up easy enough and is not backwards, maybe the angle of that shot is weird... http://homepage.mac.com/michaelkuhn/.Pictures/jam/sway3.jpg htt...

I know, I know, the camera SUCKS ASS. I'll update these w/ real shots sometime.. but you can get the idea.

Best i can do for now:



See the prongs on either side of the bottom? Coolant flows through those, remove the hoses that go to them and join the hoses together.

MK

All you need is a bit of hose and some hose clamps. I am not sure what the exact size of the hose. The digicam i have blowz, but i'll try

I think you will be fine all year round. The only way to find out is to do the mod and see if anything bad happens

MK

Just did this tonight, +/- 30 mins, i had everything i needed laying around so i thought i'd give it a shot.

It was incredibly easy to do, and i can definitely feel a difference in the temp of the TB, it is MUCH cooler.

MK

I've been running 6 on the rears since I got them. My coilovers are GAB Revolution II, but i guess they are a division of KYB (or just use KYB components). I did see from their site that GAB is part of Yokohama.

MK

My Rotas were 17x7.5 with a +48 offset and my Nittos were 205/40-17. Never rubbed once, of course I never did get the car lowered :? ... Ditto on the rotas, my Paradas are 205/45/17, no rubbing whatsoever before I lowered, then seom small issues it the rear (rolling fenders took care of that :lol: ...

Those gauges go on ebay for around $25 all the time. I never could decide if i would like the 'reverse' glow. I think the would be awesome if they didn't have the glowing green circles in the middle of the gauges.

MK

Tried the water cleaning, don't think it did much of anything, at least for my car (That's cause i keep it in such good shape )

I did notice a noise in the engine though, sounds like it might be a bearing starting to go. I'll see how that goes...


MK

I'd check the sparkplugs, plugwires and injectors. Is it the same cylinder(s) every time? I wouldn't think the coilpack would only drop one cylinder, but i guess it's possible.

MK

I had excellent results w/ Mother's mag & aluminum wheel polish.

MK

I'm going to attempt the water cleaning, will get back w/ the results

MK

Very lucky indeed (added a few more pictures), and will do.

MK

Fuses and/or relays maybe?
