    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

    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.

    My mystery springs

    So on saturday I was cleaning the undercarriage of road filth, and got into the wheel wells while I had the tires off to balance them. I had always thought I had stock STi springs, but when I started rubbing all the built up road grime off the springs, low and behold to my surprise they are...

    PCV Hose

    So I removed the LH (driver) PCV hose from the rail on the intercooler to the crankcase. It has a few bends in it. When I pulled it out it had a little bit of water (not coolant) that came out that I suppose was caught in those bends. Not much just like two or three drops but it wasnt...

    Federal 595ss 225/45/17

    I put on the Federal 595ss 225/45/17 on my vehicle back in the first part of May this year. We had sold them to customers before where I work for 350Zs and got good feedback. I needed new tires before inspection as the Goodyear Eagle GTs I had were getting thin. I didnt want to use those tires...

    Installed this on my 06 STI This crank pully is about half the weight of the stock one. I showed the stock and the LCP to several people and they were amazed at the weight difference. Installation instructions were acceptable and made sense after reading them over a few times, finish on the...
