    V8 black chrome headlights

    I got some questions regarding the v8 black chrome headlights vs the usdm. I?ve seen the usdm versions. But I believe I have a set of the black chrome. But I?m not 100%. I don?t know if they?ve just been cracked open and the orange reflectors have been removed. They are a bit darker than chrome...

    5x100 to 5x114.3 conversion

    Ok so upon further investigation. Drilling the hubs and splinting then will not work on the 5x100 hubs. The 5x114.3 pattern is right in the middle of the holes for it. So it?s just be 5 half circles cut into the edge of the 5x100 hub. So don?t waste your time doing this. Do it legit or buy the...

    Water jacket

    Ok. So I?m hoping you guys can help me out real quick. I ran into a problem on my build. What is under the exhaust studs? I?m assuming it?s the water jacket. I don?t think it?s an oil passage. But I want to make sure what it is so I can properly and correctly fix this problem. Sent from my...

    DIY Port and Polish For Miscellaneous Subaru Parts

    I ported and polished my heads during my build. I used the scrap heads from my previous motor to practice. The only problem I ran into was porting the exhaust side I ground through the little channels in the casting on the bottom side of the port. Not a water jacket but the void space on the...

    5x100 to 5x114.3 conversion

    Yeah but are the other knuckles stronger? What?s the benefit of swapping everything over than just getting the hubs drilled? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    5x100 to 5x114.3 conversion

    I thought it used a different type of bearing. I haven?t done too much research on it. I just thought of this idea and was wondering. I was under the assumption that you needed to swap hub, knuckle, and suspension to do a ?proper? swap Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    5x100 to 5x114.3 conversion

    Just get the new holes splined and run some stud through there. Hammer the old 5x100 studs out. That?s what I was thinking atleast

    Sensor locations

    So I?m butttoning up my motor. Finally. I need some help finding out what sensors go where on the motor. I took the motor out but didn?t disassemble it. Another guy did that who was also gonna build the new one. But one thing lead to another and I decided to build it myself. So I?m not sure...

    5x100 to 5x114.3 conversion

    Ok so I am no where close to doing this. Just a curiosity question. Could I take the hubs to a machine shop and get them to cross drill and spline holes in 5x114.3 pattern with my 5x100 holes still there? Like a universal rim is? What is the benefit of doing a whole hub swap? Sent from my...

    Port and polish heads diy

    Finally finished the port and polish. Wasn't as hard as I thought it was gonna be. But sadly I ran into a few complications. When I was gasket matching the exhaust ports. I ground through the casting where there's a void spot in the casting. There's a u channel behind the mating surface. So I...

    Bride seat rails

    I'm looking for the complete set up. Everything I've seen has been either seat specific. Like sparco rails to sparco seats. Or universal. I'm looking for the mount, the rails, and the side plates. This is the first time with aftermarket seats. And its not a stock car at all. So I'm trying to...
