I ordered the Spraymax paint from Eastwood, but I don't think they carry it anymore.

If you have the same rims, there is already a white powdercoat underneath the silver which is what you see on the black '92...if you want to get them powdercoated, I'm guessing you'll have to strip the white powdercoat off with a sand or soda blaster? I don't really know, but the next step for my rims is powdercoating the silver on if my paint job ever fails. I scuffed up the white powdercoat and painted over it just as the factory did. I also bought new shiny lugnuts from Summit Racing.ericem wrote:Look how mint those rims are!!!!! I am definitely going to get my rims powder coated.
sweet wheels! i can only hope that my DIY wheel project comes like that haha. If not i still have these 2006 2.5i rims with stock tires and brand new Falken ZE512 205/45/16 in my spare room.drewriviera wrote:A couple of pics so that you can see the color of the wheels.
You really can't see the shine in the close up due to it being completely overcast outside.

Re: Finally got myself a 92 SS
I'll start with the supplies you listed Drew then pick a weekend for the wheels. right now I'm working on a few fixes that need to be taken care of with the car. sunroof leak, some type of clicking relay or switch before starting the car and lost of power when turning shape turns.

Re: Finally got myself a 92 SS
Yeah, I would probably have to fix those problems first too! By the way, what part of South Florida do you live in?SiCkSTi04 wrote:I'll start with the supplies you listed Drew then pick a weekend for the wheels. right now I'm working on a few fixes that need to be taken care of with the car. sunroof leak, some type of clicking relay or switch before starting the car and lost of power when turning shape turns.

This passed weekend was the first oil change since buying the SS. She got fresh Castrol 5w-30 synthetic and a mobile 1 filter.
remove the stock oil pan plug and installed a fumoto valve
Removed a rattling heat shield
Further inspection underneath
And the famous surprise in my oil pan!

How much was the valve and where did you get it? I think I was gonna buy one but they were too expensive for me.

For the powersteering, get a bottle of Trans-x its a blue bottle. It works really well, its not thick either its like water. Stopped all the leaks in my powersteering system.
I have similar oil leaks, looking forward to replacing all my timing covers, cam, crank, oil pump seals and resealing, belt, idlers...

i got my fumoto valve (F-105) from their website http://www.quickoildrainvalve.com/Searc ... asp?Cat=40 with coupon code YM4
i plan on doing little upgrades here and there until it's finally time to rebuild the engine
i'll have to check that product out, from the looks of it the steering rack was replaced and whoever installed the lines didnt do such a good job. i got a few lines stored away for a rainy day lolericem wrote:For the powersteering, get a bottle of Trans-x its a blue bottle.

WRX 2006 Linkage/Shifter upgrade
Haven't had the time to really post many changes or updates but here's what i got so far lol
WRX 2006 Linkage/Shifter upgrade. All bushings were replaced with TiC's 06-07 5MT Super Shifter set, they have great prices and answered any questions I had.
Started off by taking the shift knob and surrounding trim.
Removing the shifter return spring, 12mm nut and washer that holds the front linkage bushing.
Using a punch was too short to get my hammer in there so i used a wrench extension that worked pretty well, moving the front bushing gave me more access.
Removing the rear shifter mount was done using a 12mmwith extension, 2 bolts hold it in place.
The replacement short shifter and rear bushing.
The WRX linkage joint didn't come with the external return spring hole like our cars did and I really wanted to take advantage of the upgrade bushings. After reading, talking to TiC, they recommend me drilling a 1/4 size hole in the same location of the older design. It worked like a charm!
Love the upgrade and couldn't be any happier with the route I went. More upgrades to come very soon.

Took some time to clean the engine bay. Thought I'd share the hard work

Holy Jeebus, that looks amazing! Should be in a Japanese concours.
Midnight in a Perfect World on Amazon or order anywhere. The first book in a quartet chronicling the rise of a man from angry criminal to philanthropist. Midnight... is a distopic noirish novel featuring 'Duchess', a modified 1990 Subaru Legacy wagon.

Damn that is clean!!! I thought mine was clean under the hood....a new standard has been set. How and what did you clean that with???
Re: SiCkSTi04's 1992 Black Legacy SS! ^Updated 12/16^
What I did was simply apply Mothers Protectant to a microfiber towel and work it in. plus It doesn't leave a oily surface.
Works on rubber, vinyl, plastic, fiberglass, dashboards, bumpers, trim, tires etc

Im getting ready to do the trans mount on my car... how do you like the STI mount? SUPER SICK car by the way. I really like the black and yeah the under hood shot speaks for itself. Sweet car!!!
Re: SiCkSTi04's 1992 Black Legacy SS! ^Updated 12/16^
^^ No complaints here. I really need to get around to replacing the engine mounts with the Sti mounts. Have you done those yet?
