Need to Revert to stock ASAP!!!!! Lots of parts:

[ArthurS]

Perrin Rear Sway Bar with Heavy Duty Mounts - 150$

Bosal Twin-Tip Catback - 300$

[AtomicLabMonkey]

I will be pulling a lot of it off tonight.

Sounds like you've got a long night ahead. :lol:

[ArthurS]

Well, most of it will be pretty easy, the exhaust will be the only killer.

[MikeSTI]

I will be watching others, while drinking a beer, pulling a lot of it off tonight. Fixed :lol:

Does that mean Evan is coming over later :lol:

[doubleurx]

So what is the new ride?

[ArthurS]

HAhaha....maybe. I can do all of it but the downpipe.

[dknv]

So what is the new ride?So, what is the new ride?

And, do you still have your stock catback? (Because I think I still have mine in a storage room if you need one.)

[ArthurS]

I actually have 2 stock catbacks...Thanks though.

My plans are constantly changeing since I have more options right now. Once this deal goes through (which could be by 7pm tonight) then I will have my plan.

[Kevin M]

Damn, I still really want the turboback, but I don't have the cash today. :(

[JC]

I wonder if those Prodrive fogs fit my car.

[U53D]

interested in the Helix Downpipe and Bosal Twin-Tip Catback and MRT up pipe if available. What do the prodrive's look like?

[tysonK]

Are you seling the liberal grill, or do you still have that STi grill?

[ArthurS]

Tyson: I will sell the liberal grill, but it has a bump in the middle for some reason. If you want it, we can do a trade for stock and a little cash.

Kevin: Maybe we can still work something out.

Brandon: Its 3", are you sure it will be good on your car?

I have pulled some stuff off tonight and the rest comes off tomorrow. It is planned to be gone on wendesday.

[ArthurS]

Its officially gone on Friday. The headlights, foglights, and side markers I need other people's stock parts for...so let me know if anyone has interest in these before then.

[MattR]

Dude, I drove by your house last night to check on progress, but the rex was out front and it didn;t look like anything was happening. I might have my stock wagon corner lenses around, I'll drop them by if I do, then you can sell your corners at another time.

[ArthurS]

I ended up playing Basketball last night :lol:

I did end up getting a few things off, but nothing big.

[ArthurS]

I might have my stock wagon corner lenses around, I'll drop them by if I do, then you can sell your corners at another time.

Pimpin. Let me know if you can find them.

[MattR]

Will Do.

[ArthurS]

If no one knows anyone that wants to purchase the headlights or foglights right now, can somebody sell me there stock ones? I would like to not trade in the car with the JDM's and Prodrive fogs.

[MattR]

OMG! Someone needs to buy those JDM lights! They're hot.

[ArthurS]

Picture of the headlights/foglights/side markers:

http://www.seccs.org/forums/files/thumbs/t_dsc02761.jpg

Tyson, you can tell what bump I am talking about in the grill from this picture

[tysonK]

yah I see the bump, I wonder if a little heat gun action would do anyhting? Other than melt it.

Dang those light are hot. on a black car.

[ArthurS]

Well, everything now has to be off by tomorrow. What a confusion.

I am starting tonight. I am going to pull the headlights and hope that someone wants um, or I will have to buy someones stocks. If no one wants the fogs, I'll probably keep them on the car.

Tyson....how about your stock grill + 40?

[JC]

I'd like the fogs, but one of my stockers has a busted lense.

[khail19]

I would love those JDMs, but I just found a set of Orciaris on NASIOC for like $300 that I couldn't pass up. And I already have the Hella FF1000s, which are the same as the Prodrive lights without the brackets. They are awesome though, whoever gets them will never need their high beams again.

[tysonK]

I'll call you after the SCCA meeting?

You are going to be tooling around pretty late right?

[ArthurS]

Still up. I have the grill off, headlights out, sway bar off, mbc off, itg out, and catback off.

Tasks for tomorrow are Downpipe, Foglights, IC hoses, Side Markers, and HD mounts.

[tysonK]

Bh I totally bailed on you Art, sorry.

But I can swing by after work before the meet?


I actually want to keep my stock grill now though. So we might not be able to work anything out.

[ArthurS]

Cool. I'll just keep it on there. It goes today.

If anyone wants a ITG filter, I need your stock one by tonight + lets say 10$.

[sperry]

Cool. I'll just keep it on there. It goes today.

If anyone wants a ITG filter, I need your stock one by tonight + lets say 10$.

I can bring you my paper filter and $10 to the meet tonight.

[ArthurS]

I might still be workin on the car at my house at that time. Wanna swing by my house before hand or after and pick it up?

[sperry]

I might still be workin on the car at my house at that time. Wanna swing by my house before hand or after and pick it up?

I'll need directions since I've never been to the new house... or I guess I could ask MattQuest.com. :lol:

Hey art... I just realized that I flaked on you w/ that air filter... with all the SRIC orders I was packaging up I totally blew it.

If you've still got the car, I can come by your office at lunch or something and drop off the paper filter for ya!

[ArthurS]

Car is gone :(

[Nick Koan]

Car is gone :(

So, you going to tell us what you have now?

[ArthurS]

Gonna get myself a truck....until I track down a clean GN

[sperry]

Here's a question... is the tranny cooler somehow tranny specific? Or can I buy it and use it as an oil cooler?

[ArthurS]

Here's a question... is the tranny cooler somehow tranny specific? Or can I buy it and use it as an oil cooler?

You got me. The Hayden is actually for motor homes and stuff like that, but Jorge from Nasioc installed one on his 4EAT WRX.

I think it could be used as a oil cooler.

[MattR]

Here's a question... is the tranny cooler somehow tranny specific? Or can I buy it and use it as an oil cooler?


Scott. I was looking around, I had the same question, I think that cooler can be used as an oil cooler no problem.

Usually there's no difference between a tranny cooler and an engine oil cooler. 'Cept for the thermostat perhaps...

But looking at the picture, I don't see a thermo at all. Plus, I'm going to want to do a remote filter as well. I should probably just buy a kit w/ all the parts I need instead of this one and adding a bunch of parts.

Or I could install it on the SVX... 'course I don't plan on keeping the 4EAT on that for all that long that a cooler is necessary. One of the other SVX owners should pick this up!

[ScottyS]

'course I don't plan on keeping the 4EAT on that for all that long that a cooler is necessary.

[ Σ (SVX Tranny < WRX Tranny < 6-SPD)] -> [(Oil cooler intall=soon)≈(6-SPD%)]

6-spd is here?

It's sitting in my damn garage if you want to touch it.

You should charge admission

[AtomicLabMonkey]

Here's a question... is the tranny cooler somehow tranny specific? Or can I buy it and use it as an oil cooler?

I wouldn't. You should at least look at the tubing size in the cooler, the size of the lines, and the pressure rating of the lines pretty carefully before using that on anything as critical as engine oil. All that line length can add quite a bit more resistance to the system if it isn't sized right.. you probably shouldn't use anything under AN-10. Plus, like you were saying if it's street-driven it should really have a thermostat. If you're serious about getting one and can't find anything good let me know, maybe we can piece together a kit out of our inventory.

[MattR]

Sweet idea.

[khail19]

AFAIK, oil coolers in general have larger fittings and larger tube sizes than tranny coolers. At least it seems to be the case with the few I've sold to people. ATF is typically thinner than motor oil, but if you were running 5W30 or less you might be able to get away with it. I would rather get a specific oil cooler and play it safe though.

[ScottyS]

Touch a piece of drivetrain that cost more than my whole car? Sweet......
How soon 'til the install? Actually, I want to see an SVX with a stick.....

[sperry]

I'm funds limited right now on the install. Once I get my shit together, I'm planning on putting the 6-speed in the WRX as soon as I can. I was hoping to get it done this month, but it's not looking good, with taxes coming and all.

Once the 6-speed is in the WRX, the 5-speed gets to chill at the shop for a bit. I have a list of stuff I want to do to the SVX, and I'd like to get it all done at once:

5-speed (WRX 3.545)
dual exhaust (2.25" stainless, 2 cats, 2 resinators, 2 mufflers)
shocks/springs (bilstens, GC perches, eibach springs)

So, once the WRX is all set, I'm gonna try to take care of all of the SVX stuff at once... funds allowing.

As far as the cooler... like I said, I want a remote filter, thermostated, cooler. So I'll probably just do it all at once. And I'd like SS line w/ earl fittings because an oil line failure at a track would probably mean the end of the motor before I even realized it was leaking.

Nice. That SVX is gonna be kick-a** once that stuff is all done. Things like oil coolers spook me enough on daily drivers, let alone track vehicles (I really am thinking of a real oil pressure gauge to go with my oil temp). No open containers allowed during install! Keep the coathangers away, too.

You'd need the flange modded, but otherwise yes.

A saw and a welder. Probably .5-1 hour shop time at an exhaust place.

Sounds simple. I'm probably more worried about cost at this point. any ball park figures?

[JC]

Don't do it, the piping is too big.

[SlickNick112]

Don't do it, the piping is too big.

What is the downside to oversized piping? The more air you can move the better, right?

[JC]

Not unless you got a turbo on that bitch. You lose back pressure, which loses low-end. The car will drive like shit down low.

[Nick Koan]

What is the downside to oversized piping? The more air you can move the better, right?

There is a limit to that, and on naturally aspirated engines, its about 2.25"-2.5" or so. Beyond that, the bigger exhaust does not flow fast enough and the engine loses low end power.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the info. I just want what is best for my baby. Well I guess that means that I'm looking for something that will help me with my performance and sound. Ideally I would love to have something fabricated so that I could go with a dual exhaust (one left rear, one right rear) but thats just because I've never seen a scoobie w/ that.

[Kevin M]

The dual exhaust is a bad idea perforamnce-wise. It will add a lot of weight without doing aything to make the car faster.

Everything has been sold but the catback and perrin sway. Everyone makes good points Nick. You probably don't want a 3" on your car.

yep, but you know my desire to tinker with my toys. I do need to pick up some end links for the rear sway I bought from you. I have a question about the a front sway from a WRX, will it fit my 99 RS?

I might be interested in the sway bar and mounts.

Edit: How much you want?
