Sgt.Gator Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Just skip the rebuild and go straight for what you REALLY want from your favorite parts supplier, it's a bargain: Cars For Sale: http://www.subaruwrcspares.com/resources/AT06+SRT.jpg http://www.subaruwrcspares.com/14.html Nothing like a race track to find the weak points in man and machine.

Sgt.Gator Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I've already got 2 Recaro seats backed against the Miata sale. I could use the rest of the sale to buy a dogbox. but what the heck, at this point, money doesn't really matter any more. Looking on my favorite Subaru used parts site, I found all kinds of want to have parts: new cam wheels: http://www.subaruwrcspares.com/resources/_wsb_356x330_WRC+Cam+Pullys.jpg magnesium intake: http://www.subaruwrcspares.com/resources/_wsb_437x262_WRC+Inlet.jpg Hewland dogbox: http://www.subaruwrcspares.com/resources/N12b+gbox+22.jpg solid steering section, so I can skip the hacky solution: http://www.subaruwrcspares.com/resources/_wsb_425x330_Steering+UJs.jpg a new pedal setup in carbon fiber: http://www.subaruwrcspares.com/resources/_wsb_402x376_Alcon+P+Box2.JPG and new brakes, cause the brembos I bought are so last year: http://www.subaruwrcspares.com/resources/AP+Sti+Calipers.jpg I wish you had never shown me this webpage!

Rhitter Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 First post on 11/13/2014. I believe we can keep this going until 11/13/2016. Where did you find the solid steering section? Looks like they come in multiple lengths and one might fit my Outback. My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 First post on 11/13/2014. If it makes you happy, this drama started in fall of 2013 when infront auto left the mechanic rag in the cooling system which led to the hg failure. HG issue finally reached terminal in late May 2014. Nov 2014 I started this journey of self discovery. Me thinks you're jealous? It takes a lot of willpower to maintain this amount of drama for so long. Feel free to bow down and acknowledge my greatness.

Cause having them take another shot at it would be better? 90 day warranty. Just so much fail with them. Which really sucks because the original build was very good quality.

boxkita Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 boxed up my turbo to send to jmp. He has parts in stock. Finally found a box that closely fit the turbo. Built a thin wood box inside the cardboard box, filled it will styrofoam and then wrapped it with packing tape. When the gorillas punt it off the truck, hopefully it will survive. fujibond showed up Sunday, along with Ti Heat Wrap to re-wrap the headers.

When the gorillas punt it off the truck, hopefully it will survive. fujibond showed up Sunday, along with Ti Heat Wrap to re-wrap the headers. Yep, I did all but the wood frame and it survived 2 way trip. I had bubble wrap and air bladders as well as 2 layers of cardboard cut for all 6 sides plus fragile labels. I had a layer of padding in between the inner and outer cardboard layers. 16.70 was the weight when I was all said and done. Box came back to me same way just about. Top box was the 52 and I had to put a knee on it to get it to close. http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k280/merc6/F3C52516-4204-476C-8E69-0BBE75FD0824_zpsuvilbfcv.jpg~original 2005 Satin White Pearl Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT Unlimited 5EAT (Project Car) 2019 Agate Black Ford Explorer XLT 4WD (DD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 more drama. :-) So I ordered HGs, or so I thought. 1 part number = 1 HG. Sigh. Pricing seems odd, too. Online list price is 49.95 and the packing slip list is 63.54. Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxkita Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 unfortunately, this list of HG is not complete as pics are missing. http://parts.subaru.com/a/Subaru__/49223396__6023246/CYLINDER-HEAD-02MY-05MY/G11-006-01.html so finding the gasket that best matches the frankenstein setup I have is a real pain. found this link which explains a bit more about the gasket options: http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/f66/head-gasket-design-changed-2010-n-models-69170/index4.html and a contradicting opinion of matching the outfront closed deck block - http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1891411 Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 gave up and ordered another HG of the same part number. if all fails, I'll dremel a hole to match. mishimoto remote oil cooler showed up today. Need to get Gator to send me a thermostatic sandwich plate. still need to order: the IAG AOS to replace the BS GS AOS an oil cap, as sold the delrin one Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
