March 15, 20196 yr Picked up my reversed inlet manifold, injector caps and cusco H brace from the powder coaters 😊 Only gave them to "Suffolk stove enamelers" on Monday, 4 day turn around and made a lovely job of them 😎
March 15, 20196 yr As always savage you are life saver spent all night yesterday research and was left with a bigger headache then when I started. Thanks mate much appreciated 🙌
March 15, 20196 yr No probs mate, always happy to help and share what I've learned along the way 👍 Just bear in mind that hatch onwards have "push type" clutches, so if you buy a hatch 5 speed you'll have to find out if they're compatable with "pull type" clutches. Think v5 onwards have ty54's but I'd say buy as new as you can afford /find , after all v5 is over 20 yrs old too . Personally I always replace both driveshaft and prop seals ,when fitting a second hand box .as the seals only cost about £20 from icp and are easy to change while the box is out . Try someone like Matt at mbdevelopments on f.b ,for a 5 speed box with the same ratio as your existing 4 speed . Feel free to tag or pm me if you're stuck , fella
March 15, 20196 yr Thanks savage I shall keep that in mind. Oh and your powder coating looks mint! Do you find much difference with the h-brace ? Also I fitted these today
March 15, 20196 yr Tbh I wish I'd have got the inlet powdercoated instead of painting it myself 3yrs ago but I was getting quotes of £120 + just for the inlet and I got everything done for £80 . Couldn't tell you if the h brace makes any difference as , although I bought it for £20 about 5 yrs ago ,it's just been sat in the scooby scraps shed till now 😂 Seeing as I recently bought a whiteline anti lift kit and superpro front wishbone bushes, I thought I'd dust it off , get it powdercoated and fit it while the wishbones are off 😉 I've got whiteline arbs ,roll center correction kit and rear droplinks but the rear droplinks are the "pigtail type" and look more like (rusty) twiglets atm . So I'll be buying some solid c shape droplinks , new rear bushes and getting some other stuff powdercoated on the back end at a later stage .
March 15, 20196 yr Jet washed the Tribeca again...and fitted a new wheel centre from the US,as one went AWOL after I had 4 new tyres fitted, and I obviously didn't fit it correctly, so £25.00 later !!!. Also fitted my new private number plates after taking them off my last Legacy 3.0R Spec B which i sold in Dec. Added some pics of the Spec B, I really loved that motor.😎

March 17, 20196 yr Managed to convince the better half she wanted a day out on Dartmoor... gave me a good excuse for a good spirited drive. She must’ve enjoyed it too though, I even got her to take a half decent picture for me.
March 22, 20196 yr Stuck the battery back on and awoke it from it's slumber ( first time out this year ) and gave it 30 squid worth of nice v power, taking it to work tomorrow to repair cracked turbo housing 😎👍
March 22, 20196 yr Took delivery of another wheel centre for my tribeca,(just in case I lose another one). Came from Russia of all places, within a week,£20 all in so i'm not complaining.
March 23, 20196 yr Washed it and fitted my us sized number plate. Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk
March 23, 20196 yr Repaired my td05 turbo this afternoon, now sounds like a scoob should not like a tractor 😎👍
March 24, 20196 yr Got her back from the paint shop...like a new car again now, scratches gone and front splitter like new....even pulled a ding that I didnt ask to be done [emoji41]Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk
March 28, 20196 yr I was getting fed up of smelling burning oil every time I put the heater fans And decided that’ll it be much easier to pull the engine out to do it. Then talked myself into the fact I may as well do a bit of future proofing while it’s out. So this morning I spent a slightly eye watering amount this morning ordering new rocker cover gaskets, cambelt kit, rear crankshaft seal and an Exedy pink box clutch. Hopefully get all this sorted the weekend after next and have it all back together in time for Japfest 🙄.

March 28, 20196 yr Fitted a sun strip....wording to go on top next once it's dry [emoji41]Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk
March 30, 20196 yr The hubs are back with new wheel bearings pressed in so spent the afternoon putting it all back together with all new parts.
March 30, 20196 yr Ordered bits so I can put mine back together, now I just need to find some time, working away next week, then boyos birthday next weekend so might be weekend after that [emoji85]Loud pipes save lives
March 30, 20196 yr Had some cretin threaten to pull me out my car cause I "revved my engine at him". He was saying this through my passenger window absolute genius of course lol
March 30, 20196 yr Gave her wash, checked the air filter, it’s full of Crap! Raced a Ferrari FF, lost. Ordered a new air filter, won’t lose next time!

Think your wrx will have a pre cat in the uppipe most swap it for a sti or aftermarket uppipe when De cating ..... So you might as well add that to the list too 😋
