Replaced one more coupler on my piping. cut the 45 bend off the hotside before the intercooler because the end of it was all beat up and squared off from the previous owner. It had been so long since i messed with my piping that i forgot what size it was on the hot side. I'll have to buy another 45 because the 45 i bought is 1/4 inch bigger on both sides.

Dammit....

Also found out that the U shaped Coolant line that goes from the oil cooler to the bottom of the block is about ready to burst, great... Its part number is 807611182 for future search inquiries.

I'll have to order that as soon as I get paid.

I didn't get to order my new inlet pipe yet.

Also replaced my R-RH Door actuator assembly. It was starting to die. it would only work sometimes.

i looked under the intake for my ecu ground but can see it. i did clean up two ground point on the strut towers

On the driver's side, Intake manifold to bead bolts, CLosest to the firewall is where I "Think" it is.

Not today, but shortly ago replaced my fuel filter for the first time since I got the car in 2007. No idea if/when it was replaced before that. No difference in how the car runs, but I dump the old fuel out the back of the filter and some NASTY stuff came out with it.

I tried cutting it open with my snips, but the OEM unit is too thick...

i have looked everywhere. i just wanna find the ecu grounds and see if they are good. i dont wanna pull the intake to find it.

You shouldnt have to. At the very least you will have to move your plastic coolant tank (if its a turbo car.) It should be under that which may be why you havent found the ground yet.

Joe,

So why do you have a FlexFuel sticker on your car

I got the Legacy running on Friday. I didn't get the AFR display setup like I wanted so rather than keep everything apart and the car not drivable, I figured it be best to get it working again and then figure out the AFR display later.

I didn't take any final pics, but need to. Here's a short vidoe of the car running

Joe,

-Apparently the owner before me was running a mixture, 4-5 gallons E85 and the rest gasoline, on a full tank. I wasn't the one who put the badge on, I just never bothered to take it off.

Ahh....ok.

Josh..

-Replaced intake manifold, iac and tb gaskets. Also plasti dipped my rs rims:

Here are a couple.

I swapped the steel alternator pulley back on my Impreza last night. The aluminum I think has worn too much and now does the squealing thing on start up. The belt is new and it still does it, so it was time to be replaced.

I also got a MAF high voltage code this past weekend on the Impreza. The connectors and MAF look ok. I cleared the code, so we'll see if it comes back.

Were is your MAF located?

I don't have a MAF, I'm running a stand alone ECU and have gone to a speed density setup.

Here are pics of the install

Here's my stand alone comparison thread

I ended up having to replace the MAF on the Impreza the other night. The issue and code came back. Luckily I still had the old JECS MAF from my Legacy and that appears to have fixed the issue, and the car seems to run better.

Also, I went out with a buddy last night in the Legacy to calibrate my new electronic speedo. I've got an Escort radar detector with GPS that displays speed. So we used that to calibrate the speed at several different speeds. The radar detector speed didn't change very fast so we had to try and keep things as steady cruising as we could. We had to calibrate the speed coming into the ECU and then going out to the gauge cluster. All and all, it worked pretty well and I'm within 0.5-1 mph of the gps reading.

I still need to test it against some mile post markers, but it's certainly better than it was before.

Blew a fuse in the wagon, replaced it, and now it won't start.

Took a look at a rust spot, started it, opened the hood and took a look. Contemplated some questions I have about my plans for the car. Posted questions on this forum about said questions. Failed to get a response.
