apexi Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Actually did this yesterday, but was too lazy to post it.. Inspected the 3 places where our brake lines fail. I will admit, the nox rust stuff subaru used seems to work great, in certain situations. My joint connector wasn't in bad shape when they sprayed it on, and it looks exactly like it did 7-8 years ago. Taking pictures of the other two places is a bit more challenging. It seems like one place has gotten a little bit worse, but still looks okay? Doesn't surprise me that this will still be a trouble area. How can the anti corrosion wax really coat the line when it's being held by a clip? Can't the clip rub away the wax a bit with vibration, bumps, and other movement? Really not the right way to address this issue subaru. Still hoping they man up and fix this, not some band-aid anti-corrosion wax. crummy older pics of my joint connector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solidxsnake Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Speaking of brake line rust... I bought NiCopp lines, connectors, tools, etc. to replace the lines on my LGT... it's been sitting in my garage and I haven't had time to tackle the job yet. Also have an AEM320 pump sitting in there as well, to be done (hopefully) next time I'm running low on gas. Which may be a while... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-BGTLimited Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Pulled my fuel pickup again to investigate a leak... It was coming from one of the fittings which is impossible to remove without sacrificing the internal plastic lines to simply replace the offending o-ring. I was going to swap in the one from my 07 but that is horrifically cracked going around the top seam so that option is out. Also tried to heat up the plastic lines in hope that I could mix and match parts but I then discovered my 06 lid is also cracked.... New Subaru lid here we come... I've only been able to drive this car about 350-400 miles... This little shit is killing me! Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awfulwaffle Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Back in business. A few late night shortcuts to tidy up. Cold pipe fit like a glove. Hot pipe, I was sent a mislabeled kit so the last section of hard pipe was for the wrong style turbo. Nothing my friends the bandsaw and bead roller couldn't fix. The hot side piping is very tight coming around from the IC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awfulwaffle Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 No way the bumper cover fits without significant modification to the fog light housings. Going to give that a whack later in the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubOperator Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 No way the bumper cover fits without significant modification to the fog light housings. Going to give that a whack later in the week. I was just going to say - does not look that IC would fit in JDM bumper skin at all.

CrowNaza86 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 On topic, what a PITA it is to remove springs from a strut. The last time I did this, ~8yrs ago, I at least had SBT there helping. Now to just wait for the Pinks to cross the ocean and endure this process once more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 went shopping for shortblocks last night. It looks like I'll be selling some more parts. $5500 for a closed deck is a bit much Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like I'll be selling some more parts. $5500 for a closed deck is a bit much You could ship a block to Outfront and they will close deck it for 875 plus shipping. Then you just need to buy piston/rods/bearings #LGTSTi is still cheaper and nicer then an equal year wrxsti Follow my 2007 Spec B.

Scooby-Roo Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Pulled out my blown turbo after putting it off forever. Pretty simple, aside from the bottom hose beside the UP that was impossible to get to. Finally just said eff the clamp and pried it off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lagwagon Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 (edited) I removed my wood "Personal" shift knob and installed the stock shift knob. The Personal knob is not weighted and the trim ring comes loose and rattles, which is super annoying. I do like the shape better than the stock knob though so I may be in the market for some sort of round, weighted, non-heat transferring knob. Titanium doesn't transfer heat well, right?

59ctd Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Pulled the leaking radiator from my 09 LGT this morning. Going to replace all the rubber coolant hoses down there by the exhaust. Hope my son returns home from work with a new radiator later tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoozeRS05 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I have a delrin STi 5mt shift knob for sale Finally got a retainer clip for my ebrake and finished the redline boot. My dash is not doing so hot, but I have a friend with an extra which I'll be grabbing to flock. Trying to bring the interior up to par too.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Mine pulled off from the turbo. I might just leave the top one off, or at most replace it with a standard screw clamp turned so that it's actually accessible. Junkyard VF52, Grimmspeed TMIC, and braided lines on the way. Drove it to work and back on the blown turbo, so I'll definitely be doing a couple of quick oil changes. Fingers crossed.
