So.....who wants to lend me a hand (and a few hours) - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

ArthurS · 2004-08-30, 10:38 AM

Looks like everyone had a blast at the track, so I am really pushing myself to get out to the next one.

I got all the parts in now, and definatly need some help to get it all installed. I could buy someone dinner, drinks, or just give you some cash.

Stuff I need installed....some things I know I can do.

Spark Plugs
Uppipe (w/gaskets)
Turboback
PCV Valve
Intercooler Hose Kit

I know I can do some of it, but the uppipe and sparks look like a pain, and I don't really want to screw it up and have to do it over.

Dean · 2004-08-30, 10:44 AM

Exhaust is easy. I can help with that, and uppipe should probably go at the same time.

I'd like to see watch the plug job as I haven't done one on these cars. Which plugs did you go with? Just wondering because GRM had an interesting observation on the aftermarket ones... http://www.grassrootsmotorsports.com/stock%20tips.html

I still need to get the guage install completed. Trade you time...

ArthurS · 2004-08-30, 10:46 AM

Sure...although Scott is the gauge master.

I went with the NGK Iridium's plugs.

sp00ln · 2004-08-30, 12:16 PM

I charge $22.95 an hour

ArthurS · 2004-08-30, 12:17 PM

I could almost take it to a shop for that price...

PAh... fine. I'll do it for a pair of ricer lights... or for free... whatever. Give me a call if you need help. Im not workin until I go to Japan (3 weeks).

ArthurS · 2004-09-02, 06:34 AM

Nice. I'll probably nail it all down this weekend.

ArthurS · 2004-09-03, 10:01 AM

Anyone down to help me out a bit this weekend?

SubyDude still hasn't sent me my cat-back (been almost 3 weeks since I paid for it). No idea what the hold up is.

But I do want to install the spark plugs, uppipe, and pcv valve this weekend.

Ryan, still down to help?

MattR · 2004-09-03, 10:03 AM

Sorry Dude, I'll be in Lovelock this weekend...Good luck with everything though...

Don't do the uppipe unless you can do the turbo back. The down-pipe has to come off to do the up-pipe, so you might as well do them at the same time.

ArthurS · 2004-09-03, 10:12 AM

I have the downpipe. Can't I install the downpipe and just leave the cat-back off till it comes in the mail?

Well, if the stock cat-back bolts up, or if you don't mind running w/o a cat-back (I wouldn't advise that... you'll cook the underside of the car)...

ArthurS · 2004-09-03, 10:20 AM

Dammit. Guess I will wait till next weekend. Hopefully I will get the cat-back sometime next week.

Kevin M · 2004-09-03, 11:48 AM

Call SD and complain. It's illegal to charge you more than a couple days before your item ships.

ArthurS · 2004-09-03, 12:01 PM

I called Subydude. Apparently, they have been back-ordered forever.

He said that I will have the axle-back part on Tuesday, but the midpipe is in Oklahoma

I guess this is the only available one, but heym whatever works. Hopefully I will still get it all before next weekend.

I dunno, if I hit you with a pipe, and you hit me with a roach, I am wondering who would be more in pain.
