What have you done to your car today?

[GC8E2DD]

Has someone bent the fuel float arm perhaps?

[94 Leone]

Not my car, yesterday changed spark plugs in friends car, then start it up, go to move it, nasty noises coming from power steering pump, so we replaced that, bled that... what a tedious process.

old pump was leaking out the back of the O-ring seal it turns out, BP5 with the floating vane type pump. just needs a new seal in the other one and he's got a spare pump/ one to sell

Yesterday....

The other 2 springs showed up.

As I was literally elbows deep in a motorbike heart transplant they have been sitting in my lounge tempting me.

Plan today was get the bike running then do the springs in the legacy....

Well this crappy rain in Auckland has put an end to that idea

don't know... need to take a look at it. It's really loud too, so I'm guessing it's hard mounted or shagged.

Bummer. You fork out the $5 each, or whatever it was to get free puncture repairs/replacement for the life of the tyre?

I did actually haha, now to try and find a place that's open over the weekend (good luck with that haha) before we go away on Monday, otherwise it's going to have to wait until I get back from holiday next week...

Replaced air filter, oil filter & oil, fuel filter, flushed coolant, swapped factory intercooler for STI intercooler and Greddy re-circulation valve.

Wagon seems to accelerate much faster now. Could the old re-circulation valve have been leaking boost?

Sti springs in. Great success

[bford]

BC golds installed

[Kiwi_Fozze]

No pics atm, need to find somewhere flat as my driveway is all sloped for drainage lol.

Mine were delivered by DHL directly, would imagine yours are close...

Its a real subtle drop, you look at it and theres something you just cant quite pick immediately thats different.

Will chuck up a pic tomorrow oncei've taken it for a fang

Can anyone recommend some good Springs for good low ride and comfort ? T.i.a

Not my car, but mates: Changed the fecked thermostat out for a working one(tested it) car still gets warm, Thinking blocked heater core or rooted water pump.

Anything else cause the car temp to rise when putting foot down: Also, when trying to fill the system(with car on), it just backs out instead of settling, that sound like heater core to anyone?

Pulled mani/up pipe/turbo/downpipe and hopefully fixed gate and up pipe leaks. Bolted it all back together.

Cut up ecu mounting bracket to figure out where to mount the new ecu. Halfway there more thinking to do then time to fix wiring.

Oh and polished big bore plus 20 internet wank points.

The bushings are bugger all, like $20 a set?

If your links aren't broken don't bother replacing them, just replace the bushing and call it done.

Drove it. First time I was able to drive in two months, so I chose the biggest pain in the a*! to take out for a fang! Was worth the wait.

[Zenki]

Firenza's WRX STi, done between the two of us over a couple of days - cambelt, idlers, tensioner, water pump, thermostat, front main seal, oil filter (all Subaru genuine), oil, spark plugs, coolant, Lamco gauges, probably many other things I've forgotten about.

Had to replace the centre portion of the timing cover due to a dumb courier running over it without looking where he was driving. One expedited trip to Avondale Pick a Part, an important appointment that we expected the car to be ready for, cleaning chemicals and a rattle can later...

Poor car was then promptly flogged around Hampton Downs and didn't explode.

Meanwhile, the Outback... didn't even put fuel into it...

[BINKZ]

Painted front 4 pot calipers. Will get some pics up eventually.

[Andy_Mac]

Now to try get this sucker fitting.
