    Winter Tire Review

    After 2 seasons on the set of Dunlop SP Winter Sports 3Ds I had to replace them. For the last two summers I have been running Nitto NT05s and have been quite happy with the tire and its performance, so I opted to give Nitto a shot on the their winter tires. I purchased there SN2 winter tire in...

    Synapse Engineering

    I got a discount code email from Synapse this week for 35% off their products purchased directly from them. The discount applies only to items they have in stock. The code is pbfs2011, just passing it along in case anyone is in the market for anything from them.

    Power Steering

    I had a similar problem, the steering would go stiff intermittently while turning when the suspension would compress during colder temps. I verified pressure coming out of the pump were within spec everything appeared to be sealed at the time, so I flushed out the system. The situation improved...

    Leaky cooling system

    Are you using silicon hoses? To be honest that's when I noticed things really going awry when the temps started getting cooler. I went through the whole cooling system yesterday and every silicon hose on the cooling system needed to be re-torqued. So far everything is in check, and I'll keep an...

    Leaky cooling system

    This is the constant tension clamps I was talking, which I'll end up going with because the t-bolt clamps I have aren't small enough. Also added a pick of the barbed fitting and Mishimoto's teflon job.

    Leaky cooling system

    I used Samco hoses and found clamps similar to what they use in their clip kits, worm drive clamps that are indented instead of punched out. I'll switch out to the t bolt, because I have some sitting around, I also do have some anaerobic as well. Just never really crossed my mind to use it in...

    Leaky cooling system

    I wiped down everything before it went together so that part of it should be good. I'll grab some T-bolts in the morning. I have access to some of the clamps that have a tensioning spring on them to help to maintain same pressure through thermal expansion. Do you think there would be anything to...

    Leaky cooling system

    It's been a couple months now, but I installed a Mishimoto radiator into my car to replace the second leaky OE rad. First leak I had was the crappy o-ring Mishimoto uses on the drain plug that I replaced with a copper washer. Since that leak I've been battling a leaking upper rad hose. I've...

    Hi Everyone

    Mods have been a bit of a slow progression on this car. I used to have an old e30 3 series up until a year ago that used to suck up the bank account. What I have done so far is a Perrin turbo inlet, Samco hoses with a Mishimoto X Line radiator, Perrin subframe lock down kit, full Group N mounts...

    Hi Everyone

    I guess I'll give a quick introduction. My name is Paul, I live up in Twin Cities are of MN, and own a 2004 STi (pics a little later). Overall it has light mods done to it, I'm progressing towards more, but taking care of the weak links ahead of time. It's been a little engine hungry and I'm...
