Still having alternator issues, still ignoring them. A friend gave me some JDM STI rear seats, so I put them in. The bottom fits great, but there is nowhere for the top of the seat back to latch to, leaving a gap on the side/top. Going to fab up a piece of metal to affix the latches to. https://i.im...
Could be. But the battery I replaced was new. Also, it wouldn’t stay running because a vacuum hose wasn’t connected. Runs well now, I even drove it like 50 miles the other day. Still having intermittent power issues. Seems like a ground is coming loose or something while driving. Also it still won’t...
Update: Found the ignition fuse to be blown, replaced and car still wouldn't start. The following day I went through the fuses again, and the ignition fuse was once again blown, I replaced and checked power going to MAF and Ignitor, good to go. Car still wouldn't start. Replaced the battery (again) ...
Well, its been forever and ever, but still basically at the same spot I was at. The car went to a shop to get some things done, and long story short they did nothing but made it worse. Currently I am having a strange issue: The car will not start no matter how many times I crank it, no matter the ba...
The motor is out of the WRX! https://i.imgur.com/fYdfeOGl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/UlzX2Fzl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/LKx6e7Pl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/q4hVIJdl.jpg Going to be doing timing belt, water pump, and your basic tuneup stuff. Anything else I should take care of before it goes into the car?
Nah they are aftermarket variants. They are more red in real life. I will let you guys know how they are once I actually drive the car, which brings me to my next point. I bought this complete 02 WRX Wagon with 108k miles and rusted strut towers for cheap. I am using the motor and harness out of the...
Damn that salt! Great work Joe. Pics are always amazing! Thank you my friend, literally could not have done it without you! Soon I will take my real camera out and take some photos. Links and arms are installed, front bushings all replaced. Still gotta put on the two new tires, then alignment! Also...
More quarantine updates! I finally picked up a set of rear trailing arms and lateral links, in addition to both rear wheel bearings, front lower control arm bushings, a coolant overflow tank and some other stuff I cant remember. Much of the underside of my car is super gross. Working on a list of pa...
I have an exhaust! https://i.imgur.com/Jwou7BIl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/n9AWEi5l.jpg https://i.imgur.com/WfxuVDCl.jpg I also took the opportunity to check out everything under the car while it was on the lift. There are definitely a bunch of things that need to be addressed: Need to Replace: Rear Dr...
On the power door locks, these cars were kind of funky because the LHD driver's door did not have any sort of electrical actuator installed on it. However, the other doors did have actuators that locked/unlocked and were triggered by unlocking/locking the driver's door. With the RHD cars I would as...
What's up with the power locks? Speedo, do you have the cable hooked up? I’m not sure what is up with the power locks honestly. So originally the driver door wouldn’t open and after inspecting inside there seems to be some sort of actuator in there. It is not plugged in because that door was purcha...
Started to clean some stuff up today now that the car runs and drives. Took the airbox setup out and cleaned under it. Cleaned the airbox too, looks brand new now. Eventually, probably over this winter, I will be taking all of this shit back out so the bay can be properly shaved and resprayed. https...
Took the car out yesterday and drove over to a friends house to wash it! https://i.imgur.com/SV97zd8l.jpg https://i.imgur.com/TvMztael.jpg https://i.imgur.com/w76ZB2rl.jpg Driving it was super fun, even though it wasnt very far, and im still rocking an open header. Definitely need to address a few t...
