mine must have been changed. its just ya norm v7 sti but has the big spoiler.

they must have the same base as theres no sign of it being changed

Isnt that cause the v7,8,9,10 have the same bootline? So the factory spoilers all can be mixed and matched?

Can I re-grease front lower control arm bushes without de-pressing them? Nolathane ones.

Nolathane Bushes come out by hand. No press needed. Only Whiteline do pressed options.

Swapping stock control arms with alloys on a Forester - straight swap? Yes I do have those little cones What are the benefits, if any? Underbody K-braces - any noticeable improvements in handling?

Yes, but the swaybar endlinks are different, so best to pick up an sti swaybar. It can be made to work though.

Doing this, along with removing the subframe spacers, and a good alignment, will get you some damn good steering geometry.

If you want to really corner well, get hold of an sti impreza rear swaybar and some good endlinks, the forester ones are pathetic.

Can\'t comment on k braces though.

About to mount IAT into intercooler, will it be allgood if i use a 1/8 bsp pipe to tap the thread if the sensor is 1/8" NPT? i know it is just the difference in the thread angle between the two but have read that it will not seal properly? The thread on the IAT has thread tape and stuff on it, could i use like loctite or something to make sure it seals? or just use the right tap hahaha

[Kiwi_Fozze]

I\'d want to make sure i did it right to prevent leaks and issues down th line, use the right tap ;-)

Hahah yeah will just have to wait.

It sounds worse than annoying esp when people do it with a big exhaust or exhaust leak. Just bolts straight on afaik well ones Ive seen have.

[rex-leggy]

you need to swap the water pump to a turbo one from memory

There is only 3 water pumps you get for ej 3pipe/2pipe/1pipe, you can run a 3pipe in place of a 1 pipe just block the un used pipes off etc

I would leave the rest of the exhaust factory just thought it might be a gimmick for somebody buying it

if I remember right it had to be changed. there was somthing else tho might have been the crossmember or the radiator.

but the water pump deff had to be changed . the way the pipe directed from the thermostat to the rad went straight into the headers. so ya have you pull cam belt ect
