June 22, 201510 yr Put the battery on charge put some air in the tyres went to strike her up nothing wouldn't turn over :( after a bit of !Removed! scratching I realised I hadn't connect the loom So connected that turned her over Nur Spec fired up and the garage came alive :D So already for 7.00am tomorrow to be picked up and taken for the gearbox to be fitted just hope badly that is what it is now, seed of doubt it being the front diff lol

June 22, 201510 yr Finally got the car running well after the coolant leaks and massive vacuum leak caused by some split brittle pipes under the intake manifold... To then look underneath and find a big patch of oil. Guessing it's the rear crankshaft seal, which we replaced. Looks like the engine's coming back out! May as well pop a new clutch in while we're there this time.
June 22, 201510 yr It's all good fun really! And seeing as the engine was only out a couple of weeks ago, it should be fairly straight forward.
June 23, 201510 yr Sounds like you probably pushed the crank seal in to far Sam .... As i did the same thing when I fitted mine they're supposed to flush with the start of the chamfer around the recess the crank seal sits in ,although it doesn't say that in the engine manual [emoji57] Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
June 23, 201510 yr Car's been taken away with gearbox thinking it's more the diff now. he was stood in front of the car said he could see the wheels moving like they was separated :( but oh well gearbox needed doing bit stronger too so bonus :D
June 23, 201510 yr Hoping it will be done in a few hours to pick up :D Yay :-D glad your getting sorted must be driving you mad now. -- I make Films and Website for people

June 23, 201510 yr Just wondering if anyone knows if the hatchback bonnets are different on the wrx and sti? I know changing the scoop is a common mod on the older wrx's I have been offered a few parts from a crashed STI but its to far to go have a look.
June 23, 201510 yr Might have a slight different contour but I haven't noticed a difference Yer I can not see to much of a difference in photos but its hard to tell unless they are next to each other. I know the STI has a larger intercooler so wasn't sure if it had a larger scoop or anything.
June 23, 201510 yr I'd doubt if they're any different. 95% od stuff just swaps over it's the mechanical side that was different really.

Yer will just get my hands on the spoiler then :-D was going to get the turbo as well but its got over 98k on it and he will not guarantee if its working so will pass on that for now.

Live and learn I suppose. A bit of a pain to have to take the whole engine out again though!
