So I just moved from the Bangor area down to Portland and hadn't got a chance to get a Mainely decal lol. Not sure when I got carded but it was last night after work some time haha. 2007 silver WRX, driving lights, black wheels, SCUBARU is my plate.
so I ended up going the cheapest route possible. LGT gears fro Flatironstuning.com and all new bearings, seals, and synchcros... total will be about $1800 not much else out there for that price. Used transmissions for 06-07 are going for like $2000-2500 with 150K on them!?
So I blew 3rd a while ago in my 07 WRX and just replaced it with a used one, now that one has sheered off #1 shift fork roll pin. I want to slightly build my trans up so I won't have to worry about it but on the cheap as I wasn't expecting the second trans to fail...I know that the factory gears...
The hard accel thing makes sense since I've been beating on it a little extra than normal... just going to start checking it every fuel up and like you said maybe some better oil next time...
Its a catch can and I just disconnected the hose of the pcv and hooked the can inline with it. I was told turbo subys didn't like synthetic so I've just used generic sae oil
thanks RyanR I'm definitaly going to keep checking it regularly I work at Mercedes in Bangor and i do roadside assistance so i drive my car about every other month. I just use the bulk 5W30 we have here instock, i think Winward petroleum brings it...not sure. I just recently installed an oil...
So my last oil change I went 3200 miles, time frame issues for the 200, I may have beat on my 07 Wrx a bit but I checked my oil at about 3000 miles and I was 3 QUARTS low! No oil in exhaust or leaking out of the engine... some oil in intercooler but could I have burned that much?
I just got mine done 07 wrx with 85,000 on it and it doesn't stay very clean and mine were fine... rust proofed and out the door I went in 30-45 mins.... might help that I work for Quirk at Mercedes tho....
my GF's 99 obs had the same problem when I checked the filler neck it was rotted completely in half... surprised I got fuel into the tank... but subaru puts some dumb plastic cover over the neck in the wheel well to "protect" the neck.... more like catch salt and dirt and all the other lovely...
