Can he or other vendors still get this bumper?

im looking for black 2005 cloth manual seats will trade for my black leathers! or sell outright for $500 (local pick up in CT) they look exactly like this guys

http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/fs-wi-05-sedan-black-leather-seats-183459.html?t=183459&highlight=leather

except my rear seats are 9/10 and front are 7.5/10

please pm me if you have black cloth manuals ONLY! 2005 sedan, gt or non gt

Looking good. Personally I would have gone with forged pistons. My stock 2011 sti had the ringland failure on it at 25k miles and it is 100% stock.

My friend bought a '12 sti and after 2k miles engine went on it. Not sure what went wrong but soa just replaced w a longblock.

So anywho i have mc's old sb and im not 100% sure which route to go but im leaning towards cp pistons w stock rods maybe .20 over. Have to read up on builds and plan this build.

Yep, painted valve covers don't make it go faster...why waste the money. LOL

Wait... It doesnt? Fml

See you on Saturday.

you bet. Eastwoods looks like they did an excellent job!

No, I talked with Mark Eastwood last year. For the cost of labor to take apart and rebuild one of these compared to a in-line 4 or V8 and the fact that everything is brand new. He can't beat the cost of $1800 for the OEM shortblock.

 

If I wanted Wiseco pistons and better rods, then he could do that, but for my HP goals, that didn't make sense.

 

I hope that explains it with out going into great detail.

 

We feel the rings are worn, Mark has seen that in other EJ's, that is why is used oil. When one of the members here picks up the old short block in and opens it up, then we'll know for sure.

that would be me

im going full build route, its not cheap by any means but what is?

i may tear the block down to get it ready and see how the ring or ringlands look just for curiosity sake.

im suspecting rings were just worn w high miles.

Sorry....need to get it out first.

I'll post them later.

 

Been working on it for about 4 hours so far. The block has broke loose from the tranny on it own.

Omg how i wish that was the case w mine! Im still having nightmares from my clutch install! http://legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=57766&d=1222276408

^yeah --->

 

Lmao beat me to the punch! Careful w my cadaver! Lol
