    In before the close!

    Yes, a loose tensioner can cause a soubd similar to piston slap or ticking valves. Super cold weather can also bring out valvetrain sounds. I'm not saying nothing is wrong, just saying things may be normal for the wear on the engine. Don't run 15w40 in the winter. The thickest I'd run would...

    NA 2.5 not firing in the cold.

    I've seen this happen a bunch of times, not to my own cars because I warm them up, but at shops where cars get moved around in the parking lot and shut off immediately by genius salesmen.  Excess fuel will make the motor sound/feel like it has no compression.  I can come help you figure it out...

    NA 2.5 not firing in the cold.

    If you only drove it for a few seconds in this cold, you probably just flooded/fouled it up (i know, weird to say on an EFI car).  Scoobs burns really rich on cold startups, and if the plugs/cylinders don't come up to temp it can be shut down too wet.  Just crank it for 20secs at a time and it...

    Apparently it's a thing now in lewiston/auburn for people to ride the bumper of subarus and try to start races all the time? Lame! You're welcome for the brake check, Matrix asshole. Spotted a ton of you over the past few days while dubbing around helping out with/attending my sister's wedding.

    Ryan's 05 STI

    Well, there once was a story about a man who was just going to replace the radiator in his STI because the top plastic end cap started weeping. Then he decided to replace the oil pickup at the same time, and then since the oil and coolant were both drained, decided it was damn well the best...

    2004 STi Part Out - everything works

    I don't use facebook. What color, how many miles? Also, 9500 for the whole thing is a damn good price if it's in running shape and the body is good. Why even go through the hassle of parting it out....

    Really disappointed with Tactrix 2.0

    32 and 64 bit, at least half a dozen laptops and two desktops. My current laptop has win7 x64 pro on it, same with my desktop. Both work. My old 32 bit laptop still works with 2.0, but I rarely use it anymore. I also have vag-com hex-com and hex-can cables that also work with the...
