But while you're in there, you can install a grease fitting and skip the disassembly process if (when) it starts clunking again.

Or skip both and use a syringe to grease em up :d

I have a write up on NASIOC, but in short:

-Had to go to a farm & home shop, to get a sturdy syringe....

1. Raise up car a little and clean the strut seal very well.
2. Fill syringe with warmed grease, without needle installed, so it draws fairly quickly...
3. Bend needle to a 90 degree 1/4" radius curve and install needle.
4. Carefully go between hydraulic body and seal with needle
5. Slowly inject grease
6. Lower car, takes about ten minutes per strut.
7. As grease settles during normal driving, strut gets quieter.

*Careful not to kink the needle when bending it. a medium horse-gauged needle worked well, too small and the grease takes forever!

interesting thing happened yesterday. On my way home from work, i was slowing down on the highway (going from about 60 to 45) look to my left no one is coming so i put it in third and merge and REV for about 2 seconds.... then the clutch grabs...

looks like it's time for something better than OEM wrx....

Well not much has happened honestly. After WCSS my wife decided to leave me. The reason she decided to leave me ended up being total Bullshit but what ever, we were constantly talking about divorce anyways. So divorce papers got filed on the 11th of october, so 90 days after that i'm a free man.

Car parts are going to be put on the back burner for a bit tho... I need to figure out my finances for a bit and work on that damn license, it's time to grow up some.

however, i Do have a set of ver 1-3 JDM wrx seats that will be going up for sale here shortly for 300 OBO. I'll get pics up when i have them in my posession. They're really nice :) And yes, they will be going on Nasioc. They're going to hopefully be sold same day.

As far as my car, it's pissing me off. Needs an O2 Sensor, and those are expensive. Pick N Pull cuts the cats out of their exhausts, and guess where the O2 is on the N/A Legacy.... Morons are loosing out on 20 bucks

Havent done anything with my turbo situation, but my blown vf39 is still hanging in there.

The blow off valve is the reason why my clutch is slipping. The excess oil from the turbo going thru the intercooler pipe is dripping right down onto my clutch fork.... WTF????? so i need to get on that turbo situation real quick.

i have a stock bpv that i wanna plumb back into the intake. Give the turbo it's oil it's spraying into my TB HAHAHA bastard.

Other than all that, Life is great.

Adding a pic after clearing up some of the white paint, seems the flash on my phone is still making it show up pretty bad, but in person, it looks alot better.

Honestly, im not too upset about it...

As far as trade, i'll let you know. I really need the cash more than anything, might have a buyer over on nasioc... But like i said i really don't know if i wanna get rid of them yet

as far as order it's jake, nasioc guy, then florin, so we'll see. Jake you can come check them out anytime. I live on the opposite side of that school where i bought that wrx fmic kit from you. Brick red duplex, garage side. You have my number.

My post from nasioc,

I searched google images but i wasn't able to pinpoint what year these are, maybe someone can chime in on this. Anyways they could potentially be for sale. Over all i rate them a 6.5 out of 10.

They look to be the same make just different color of the GC STI Bucket Seats

The driver's seat has a small 1/4 inch hole. and the passenger seat lower corner seems a little flat. the outsides of the seat where the suade is is kinda rubbed from obvious ass wear but theyre in decent condition. looks like there was a tear at one point that someone tried to sew...

I didn't accept Jake's offer, and they aren't perfect. The drivers seat is in great condition but the pass side needs some work. After Jake left I put the drivers seat in. Feels terrific!
