    AC Idler Pully Adjsuter

    While I had it all apart my pulley has a very slight wobble in it and since I had to order parts anyways and wait I went ahead and ordered a new pulley 73131-FC000 and the retaining bolt that goes through the pulley and holds the pulley to the bracket 73132-AC000

    AC Idler Pully Adjsuter

    So this happened..... The past two weeks I noticed there was a slight fraction of a second 'slip' feel on the motor when the AC compressor cycled which it hadnt done before. I figured since I last replaced my drive belts in Jan 2011 that it was time for new belts. They did have some slight...

    Difficulty shifting into reverse issue

    The shifter I have is a kartboy as well. the shifter bushigns were fine, though I replaced them anyways while i was replacing the rod bushings. The shift rod bushings are different bushings.

    Difficulty shifting into reverse issue

    So for the past month or so it was getting progressively harder to get my Sti to shift into reverse. I would shift to reverse and be in 6th. Play with the shifter a bit then try again and it would eventually go into reverse. Looking in the FSM I was thinking it was an issue with adjusting the...

    Pitch stop

    I put one of these on last Friday. Fairly straight forward. Remove the intercooler and you are looking right at it. A swivel 14mm socket will make your life easier if you do this job. When I took my old one off, I discovered the original one had a dried bushing that was starting to...

    SCCA Road Rally March 17th This winter has been hard across the country, even causing us to postpone a rally for the first time in years. So we are ready for images of spring, like tulips in bloom. Rallies can have "tulip instructions". We will use this method of defining the course again...

    2015 STi test drive impressions

    I want it that way when I am cruising around. When I am on a 400 mile trip all highway I don't want it that way!

    2015 STi test drive impressions

    How does the car feel in terms of size compared to yours? It seems like the cars have been getting bigger over the years. It does feel a little bigger to me. Maybe 10% longer and 5% wider for some reason. I think some of it is the way the cabin is built to make it seem bigger on the...

    2015 STi test drive impressions

    Adjustable lumbar support on the seats? I don't actually remember. They were power seats though for the driver!

    2015 STi test drive impressions

    I test drove the new STi Monday evening. a friend at my local friendly dealership told me it came in. The one the dealership had was a WRB STI limited. I must say it was a very nice vehicle and I was impressed. In short I liked it. I thought I would share some of my impressions: It...

    Turbo Oil Screen

    So I was reading a TSB on the oil screen on the banjo fitting bolt for the turbo oil line feed. The TSB was talking about inspection and replacement if there is an issue with low oil pressure to the turbo. Is this something that should be inspected periodically as preventative maintenance...
