haha.. i would but would it mate to my stock downpipe? i havent bought an aftermarket downpipe/up combo yet. Got my AccessPort today will try to set it up tomorrow.
I had mine mated up to my stock DP before I got my Daddy's one. No Problemo! Let me know if you want to throw it on. Really shouldn't take any more than an hour if we dilly-dally. Steve
Looks like you got yourself some free lunch then! I'll let you know as soon as it is here. Hopefully it comes with a gasket. If not, i could call clements.
Should come with two gaskets. One for the joint between the axel back and one for the joint between the long pipe and the mid-pipe. Should also come with new fasteners to bolt everything together. Should also come with a cheesy plastic "GReddy" tag like a dealer would use to put their name on a car....I put mine on my refrigerator in the garage...it looks better there... Steve
sorry forgot to mention. it is used. Also, looks like fedex has changed the day from wed to thu. Probably because of Katrina. (ships from cali)
I think the donut gasket that comes on the car would work in a pinch. I probably have hardware that will work if the current stuff doesn't. I'm afraid though that I probably won't be available on Thursday night. We're heading up to the north shore on Friday afternoon and we haven't done squat to get ready. We'll be back sometime on Monday. Steve
Thats not a problem. Exhaust still in SACRAMENTO, CA. I am not in a hurry. Would actually prefer to do the whole TBE at the same time. Hence, searching for a up/dp. Also, as we were planning on getting together today, if you have time, we could do the silencer delete. I am not sure if you got that done or not. but looks like there is a lot of literature, and it seems easy too. Dont think it is a performance mod but people swear by the nice sound you get. Up for it? any other Rochesterolites?
I'm on my 3rd day of sick leave. I'm feeling better and could be up for doing something. Just didn't feel like going into work today.
haha.. nice.. I am done here at 5:30 so could start at six. From the instructions it looks like it should not take more than 15 mins. Have you done this to your car? http://www.scoobymods.com/forums/showthread.php?t=113 http://www.clubwrx.net/forums/showthread.php?t=82083&highlight=silencer
yeah, I have this done. I was going to eat with my gf around 6:30. You'll probably get it done by then yourself. the one nut is kind of a pain in the a$$ but you'll get it with a 10mm wrench.
Anything going on event wise during the last week or so of sept until about the 10th of Oct? I am coming home from Connecticut to Red Wing with my 2004 WRX, and would like to try to attend an event, or maybe just get some people together. By the way I am out here in the Navy, that is the only reason I ever left MN. Can't wait to come back. DP
When you are here just post. Getting together is usually not planned way ahead of time. We should be able to come up with another meet, as i dont think it will get really cold by then. A meet is long due anyways.
Got my exhaust!!! yay!! It is sitting in my garage constantly asking me to be installed Just need grow balls to push the buy button on ebay for ERZ up/dp.
Long overdue meet Anyone up for a meet tomorrow in the early afternoon? It would be nice to get caught up and see what mods have been done to all of our cars over the summer. Brad
Thanks for the heads up beeloo. I wouldn't mind swinging by and saying hi to all the other Subaru owners in(around) town. I've got nothing to show though... I'll give rides for those who forgot how mushy their cars felt stock though, lol.
Monday it is then! 6pm Chateau/Dairy Queen. Also, there should be a good parking lot around the lake that we could use too. I am not really familiar with the town so take your pick Brad.
Sorry guys.....been out of town all weekend....just got the message. How about next weekend????? Steve
Me! thats Me! update: Exhaust sits in my garage. UP/DP comes in next week.. Do i hear an install day cheer?
Thought it might be you! Just plan a day long enough ahead of time, i should be able to help out especially since eventually i'll want to do the same thing to my car. (preferrably a saturday or friday)
Cool. I am sure there are others that might be interested too. As i think Steve is the only one that has the TBE done. So.. Steve.. it would be very nice if you could helpout. Obviously lunch/beer/pop will be on me. I will try to setup a date as soon as rest of the parts are here. Another problem i face is a lack of tools/space. But we should be able to figure that out.
Sign me up! We can use my Garage! If your talking about the UP too, have some good instructions printed off. I have been putting the UP off on my own vehicle cuz it frightens me I'll gladly let you be the guinea pig first! We should probably try to do this on a Saturday the Sunday. At this point I would be available next weekend (17th or 18th) and then I'm tied up the next two weekends with Auto-x stuff. Let me know! Steve
Cool. I would set the date for this Saturday but i need to make sure my parts are here. So mid this week (soon as i get the up/dp/gaskets), i will confirm saturday for the install. pbedroske, are you gonna be able to make it? I am probably the least experienced so will try to read up on this stuff. The only things that are worrying are: - Jacking up the engine - Finding an O2 sensor wrench - Modifying the heat sheild? - Other random crap Found some links that might help with the UP install. http://www.scoobymods.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5157 http://www.scoobymods.com/forums/showthread.php?t=194 http://web.archive.org/web/20040417074630/http://www.perrinperformance.com/DOCUMENTATION/up-pipe.htm http://www.turboxs.com/faq/uppipe.htm
let me ask lynn... she says ok. we'll rent an O2 wrench/ socket. i'm sure steve is familiar with most of the distruction. we're all fairly capable, we'll do fine.
I have an O2 socket. I knew that at some point I would take my car back to stock and trade it in on an STI or an EVO. Modifying the Heatshield is a piece of cake! The modifications are permanent, but not hard. 10 minutes with a marker an my dremel tool is all she'll take! We should start early in case we run into issues. I won't get away with spending more that Saturday on car stuff since I'm tied up doing manly-man stuff the next two weekends. Steve
Sorry guys! The transaction did not go through. My addy was not confirmed on paypal so the guy backed out of the transaction. It would have to wait till next week. I know steve is busy next two weeks so we will have to reschedule. :x We could put the exhaust on this saturday and head out to DQ or something. :roll:
Sorry....I swear I checked for updates to the thread and didn't see anything yesterday. Are you talking about just putting on the catback? If so..... catback install + DQ + Driving car with fellow enthusiasts = cool to me! We could do it later in the afternoon or early evening unless you were talking about breakfast at DQ!
+1 "catback install + DQ + Driving car with fellow enthusiasts = cool to me!" Saturday 3PM? this way, by the time we are done and ready to drive, it will be nice out. What do you think?
nabil, here's a link to the turbo coolant reservoir problem on 2002 wrx's http://www.wrxfanatics.com/index.php?act=ST&f=50&t=5394&st=0
Hey guys. Sorry I have not been around much. I have been getting killed at work this summer. Just wanted to let you guys know about a HPDE at MAM this Saturday put on by findtheline. check out: http://www.findtheline.com/ I am leaving to drive down Friday evening and (assuming my car is still drivable) returning Saturday evening. Anyone else going? Brad
Brad....you are still alive! Just speaking for Bicycle Bob and I .....we have Auto-x's on both Saturday and Sunday at Valley Fair. We were both signed up for the NASA HPDE that was supposed to happen at MAM this past weekend and then it got cancelled. I was really looking forward to it. Ended up doing the Evolution Driving School for Auto-x instead. Have fun....that's a pretty long and not-so-entertaining drive! Steve
Still alive. Wish I had more time to participate recently. The one thing I have been able to do is order parts and I have quite a collection of stuff to put on the car. I am starting to get nervous that this event will be off too due to small numbers. I will take some pics and hopefully video this weekend if it happens. Any official Rochester meets planned?
I'll cross my fingers for you that it doesn't get cancelled like ours did!!! What kind of goodies do you have to put on? Steve
<--- Available for a meet. Got an UP/DP sitting in my garage right now! So whenever you are ready steve!
