    Exhaust options for a '97 OBS

    The other day, I swapped out my rear sway bar for a 20mm wrx one. I noticed that my exhaust is starting to look really crappy. It's starting to leak, it most likely won't pass inspection. What are good upgrade options? Gabe has a WRX cat-back that I'll most likely pick up. What about...

    Whats Wrong With my suby? 4x4? A/C? Bearings? WTf?

    ^^^^what he said. Swapping the tranny is a PITA, mainly because most jacks/jackstands aren't tall enough to let you drop the tranny and pull it out. Almost lost a couple fingers the first time I swapped one. (yes, I've done a few swaps)

    This just in: The IRS SUCKS!!!

    My accountant wanted us to hold off on quartley payment until we knew how the business was going to turn out. When we started the shop last December, we had ZERO $$$. Now, well let's just say we could walk away from it all with everything more or less paid for...

    This just in: The IRS SUCKS!!!

    So, for the last 10 months, my biz. partner and I have basically given up every bit of our personal lives in order that our shop succeeds. We have paid ourselves just enough to get by, we have paid down the equipment a lot more than needed, etc. etc. We wanted to make sure we had a nice buffer...

    Throttle Body Coolant Bypass

    I had the bypass on my swap, but that was mostly out of laziness and stuff. The hoses that I pulled off of the 1.8 block were the wrong size for the ports on the 2.5 block. I ended up blocking them off for a month or 2. After I reconnected them, I didn't notice any changes in performance... I'd...

    Thoughts on Phenolic Spacers?

    I do know that most race cars (Chebby, F.O.R.D, etc) use carb spacers. They "say" it helps, but I've never seen data. One place to look is: uniquemotorsports.com IIRC, he did some temp measuring with and without the spacers... If only there was a machinist locally who could make those for a...

    Starting my upgrade collection...

    They are less than $100. You shouldn't have any rubbing issues. I have wrx wheels and tires, and I'm running on Prodrive springs. No issues yet! Also, get a Kartboy short shifter. They make the whole driving experience better.....
