MrTris Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Mrs boxkita is going to hit the limit and kill you all after you decide in the middle of the night to engage the help of a welder and completely cage the wagon. That's what I meant. Middle of the night? F that! His neighborhood isn't that nice, and I have a bedtime! Even on Saturdays! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxkita Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 My vote is Redhook ESB! Any interest in making it a light/finger food potluck so Mrs boxkita doesn't have to cook or otherwise have an opportunity to poison us and/or him? I'm up for that. The less impact we can have on her. The less likely I have to sleep in the wagon. Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 Drunk, closed garage, test startup, carbon monoxide... Well rather morbid. Or maybe you bring us some undercooked meat, we all contract terrible salmonella... We have a nice grill on the back deck and 2 full propane tanks. Should be enough to grill a whole cow Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gex Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 My Mishimoto works fine. Use the stock radiator cap. The supplied Mishimoto cap is shit. Have to trim all the hoses as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBT Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 When talking about radiators for Subarus, IMO, it's all about the metallurgy - especially where your block is concerned. Koyo designs/engineers theirs for the Subaru alloys and hand-builds each one in Japan. Mishimoto, not so much. I'm going with the KoyoRad replacement for my OEM one when I do the rest of the Stage 3+ upgrades. P/N is KOYO-VH2778-001 More info here I like that Koyo Japan builds these in-house and QAs each one. This version also includes an integrated 1/8” NPT female accessory fitting located near the top inlet tube. This fitting (supplied with a threaded plug) will accept a 1/8” NPT temperature sensor supplied with most aftermarket temperature gauges. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
