Ive decided that getting the LGT was more expensive than I realized

 

So many damned parts I want to buy! Boost guage, STi up-pipe, short shifter, IC sprayer, intake, exhaust at some point maybe.. gah!!

Never had this problem with the 25RS, nothing you could do to it!

Looking for some advice on installing coil overs, specifically Tein Flex. Has anyone done this themselves? How much work, tools, equipment and time are we talking about to do it, if at all?

I put KW v.2 on my wagon. You really need a impact wrench to get off the top nut and a big breaker bar to get off the bottom rear bolt. It took me about 2 hours to do them alone. Do a search in walkthroughs for more info. I just remember that you said flex. They dont you use factory top hats. It should be pretty easy.

And you gotta just keep rotating once you have punched it through to the point where the thread hits the suspension mount, otherwise punching it will not move the bolt at all, you gotta rotate to break the seal and then punch it through. You probably have no idea what im talking about, but when you get to the rears youll be thankful you know this. :lol:

I changed mine with a breaker bar and a floor jack. Didn't need an impact wrench. Don't forget to put a second breaker bar on the back side. I jacked away on one bolt for about 15 minutes before I realized it both the bolt and nut were rotating together. DOH!!!

Can I roll with this crew?

 

 

No,

 

 

or at least not until you change the description of your car from "Anti-limited", to "TR edition".

Hey - go you guys have the cargo cover, and if so, does it cover the whole area? I think mine is a knock off cause it leaves about 6 inches uncovered at the very back, and the handle area is flat. Gfs OBS has one and its curved and covers 99% of the cargo area

You got rooked. There is a flap of black fabric that hangs down from the tailgate that is horizontal when closed, so it closes off the gap.

Sounds like your car was modded to save weight!:lol:
