Max Capacity Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 You can reuse them, I did.

Max Capacity Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I had to reuse them too. The early Spec LWFW uses them. Not sure if they ever changed that. http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x40/92Si/th_DSCN4784.jpg 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

Max Capacity Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I still have 8 new never used hex head FW bolts if someone wants to buy them. I'm not in a hurry to sell them, more effort then what its worth. Cost more to ship them probably. If some one local wants them I'd be happy the drive a bit. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

Gex Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Not sure if this means anything, but the spec clutch can only be used with their flywheel or the dual mass stock wheel and not the wrx smfw. Not sure if that would affect the pressure plate bolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
