Dam looks good! I’m currently running a 18x9.75 +35 with a 245/45/18 I didn’t think our cars would fit a 275... that being said I guess I’ll get some new rubber here soon lol.

Now you’re making have to go take a pic with my moms 2015 wrx lol

Finally went home last night and got 6hrs of sleep. I helped delivered my son since Monday at 11am and he came out at 3:10am on Tuesday (8/21). Tomorrow he will be discharge with mommy and I can bring both home

 

Hey man congrats on the little one, my son and your son have the same birthday now lol

Got all the chrome pieces vinyl wrapped and a couple of other trim pieces to match done over the weekend.

 

Have a matte bezel coming and I'm looking at a custom emblem.

 

All came out pretty well I think.

Finally ordered and installed new black housing headlights, definitely look way better than the oem chrome silver

Definitely wouldn’t mind doing the sti swap on my 10 lgt but the cost of calipers are insane. I’m going the cts-v brembo swap for the fronts, the swap totals about 600 +- depending on different variations of rotors, pads etc

Rolled my front 2 fenders at work today, got a little carried away and rolled a spot and cracked the paint before I could use my heat gun on it

Most likely a blend door actuator not opening all the way or a door being stuck happens all the time in any car. I’m not at work right now to look up where they are on Mitchell Unfortunately.

Definitely not today but on Wednesday I’m getting tires for my rims I just got . Then shortly after that happens I’m hoping to start getting parts for the brembo swap for the front brakes from a cts-v since it’s cheaper to do than getting sti brembos

I just installed an upgraded BPV yesterday as a pre-caution. I feel like the car is holding boost better but it is not a scientific test. The is some more noise but it is only re-circ so it could just be my mind.

 

I would definitely agree, if you can remove the passenger side radiator fan it will make your life alot easier. Its just two 10mm bolts, an electrical connection that is easy to get at and wiggle the fan out around the upper radiator hose. The hose connecting the BPV to the Charge pipe was the hardest to remove. I did this when the car was cold, it might be easier if the car is warm. The Clamps holding the BPV are both the locking spring and standard worm gear type. I would recommend trying to "lock" the spring clamp underneath first and then loosing the worm gear second so the screw part doesnt slide to the underside of the hose. It is helpful if you have a mechnics mirror for this.

 

When removing it seems like removing the hose from the BPV to turbo inlet has to go first and then the Recirc hose is second to wiggle out. To install you have to do Recirc hose and then turbo inlet hose because of the lack of wiggle room.

 

I have one of these tools and it always makes my life easier for trying to pry parts out of tubes. Just becareful not to stab yourself or anthing else, but I like this tool because you can generate alot of localized leverage and get between teh part and tube. Here is the link:

I have found this removal tools helps seperate the parts that glue themselves togethor overtime without damaging the hose or OEM part. You can feel the parts letting go of eachother through the tool.

 

I would also recommend using a little silionce spray during reassembly, I never like putting parts in completly dry. but all you need is a little spray and dab to coat the surface.

 

What kind of bpv did you end up going with?

Did order me a dragon ball z shift knob

Went with 15% like on most of vehicles, ordering new black housing headlights tonight. Just need rims and I’ll be ok

Dropping my car off on my lunch break to get the windows tinted, I usually tint all of my cars windows myself but I said eff that on this one.
