Re: What did you do to your Subie today?
Mike I'd love if u could walk me through the allignment of the air boxes underneath.... I had someone take my dash out and put it back in and cold air leaks into passenger feat as well... I can see the air gap but not sure how to go about fixing it without taking whole dash out?mike-tracy wrote:Soldered an OEM connector plug to my stereo harness... I hate it when people cut off the old plug and then do a terrible splice job. Fixed a problem I'd been having ever since I replaced my heater core (cold air leaking onto passenger feet) by aligning the "boxes" under the dash better.

Re: What did you do to your Subie today?
A far as I know you do have to take the dash off at least a little
I loosened all 3 boxes and then worked from right to left to get the allignmnt right. I also had to replace the foam on the middle box cause it tore a little.

Re: What did you do to your Subie today?
What part of the dash do I need to loosen or take off to get to the bolts that loosen the boxes?
Re: What did you do to your Subie today?
A few things have changed, tinted the corner and fender lights, changed my fog lights, hooked up the sprayer nozzles on the front bumper, added a second led bulb to each tail light, and switched wheels and tires.
That's about it.
That's about it.

Re: What did you do to your Subie today?
Installed a deck.. fits pretty nice with the larger pocket I had laying around. I'm pretty new to audio stuff but I'll be upgrading stuff soon.
Car is running alright but I keep blowing something open under full boost.. 16/17psi.. I think I need to tidy up my intercooler plumbing and/or replace it all.

Re: What did you do to your Subie today?
Went to slodrive to install some goodies and give the ss a much needed pre summer checkup
Front pads and rotors
2 port oil catch can
Aftermarket tranny oil cooler
Compression and leakdown tests
All in all Greg did amazing work as usual and for owning the car officially for a year now and JUST hitting 200k......
90s range across all four cylinders and less than 10% for each cylinder for leakdown not too shabby, could be better could be way worse on the way home stopped and enjoyed some scenery

Replaced the lower S shaped water pump hose (not the rad hose, the little one). Car no longer needs a gallon and a half of water per day got old really quick when people kept asking if my car was broken down every time I popped the hood to add water.

Re: What did you do to your Subie today?
Sorry I missed this. I had the dash all the way off. The upper nuts to the boxes are completely inaccessible (to my knowlege), unless the dash comes up about 4-6".alexandermf wrote:What part of the dash do I need to loosen or take off to get to the bolts that loosen the boxes?

Re: What did you do to your Subie today?
Mike is correct, the dash needs to come at least most of the way out to get to the bolts that attach the boxes to the firewall. Good news, its not hard at all to do, probably a couple of hours of work as long as you keep track of screws and such pretty well.mike-tracy wrote:Sorry I missed this. I had the dash all the way off.

Re: What did you do to your Subie today?
Sweet thnx guys! I will be doing this on a nice day in the next week or so
Should I just take the whole dash out of the car or loosen it enough to access those bolts to the boxes

Re: What did you do to your Subie today?
I'd take it all out but I hate working in tight spaces. You can really see what's going on very well with it out, and honestly you're almost there if you have it loose enough to get the upper box bolts anyway.
Re: What did you do to your Subie today?
I agree....just take the dash out. You'll practically have it all the way out anyway, and it'll make working on things MUCH easier.

Finished the brackets for the DCCD controls, got the new DCCD Pro chip installed, and made a bracket to hold the alarm's proximity sensor.

Re: What did you do to your Subie today?
You're only getting 90 psi per cylinder? That's way low. Or do you mean 190? My metro is about 195psi on all 3 cylinders. My subaru with a low compression hybrid engine is about 140. I think my NA subaru was about 175.alexandermf wrote: 90s range across all four cylinders and less than 10% for each cylinder for leakdown not too shabby, could be better could be way worse on the way home stopped and enjoyed some scenery
