My new toy.

[KillBill]

Actually I did.

I thought I recognized it.......I've heard a lot of good things
about them. We almost bought right up the street
from there at RJ Foley Motorsports.

This had me in stitches.

They were pretty good. I have a couple issues but nothing too bad. I got a great deal on it so I'm happy over all.

Thanks Kenn!

I love this meme.

I do too!

Sort of.

How many people on here also own a Saabaru? (I know of exactly one other person, lol).






For those Subaru peeps who like to work on their own car... stumbled across a magazine last night, "Project Car" that'll be on display till 4/13/10. They happened to be building up a 2002 WRX Sedan, but half the magazine shows you, with tools needed and pics, how to do a turbo upgrade (i.e. remove/install turbo, intercooler, spark plugs, fuel pump, etc.); suspension upgrade (how to install coilovers, sway bars, etc.); and some basic maintenance stuff. Sure, you can find it all online, probably at NASIOC with good searching, or maybe you have the shop manual (I have the complete 05 Manual on CD-Rom... might cross over to many other years?); but it's neat to have it all in "one place" with step-by-step and pics.

I'll have to find this.... how much do you want for a copy of that shop manual? I tried to download one and it wasn't complete for my 05

There was a thread on nasioc that said the article was terrible fwiw

There was a thread on nasioc that said the article was terrible fwiw

I thought it was fine. What did they say about it?

ETA:

Was it this thread? I didn't really search, just found this in General on the front page. Doesn't really say negative things.

ETA pt 2:

Found this thread as well... OP seems to have a lot of butt hurt.

I still think it's a good tool in addition to other resources - I'm not saying it's the be-all-end-all.

-

Some of the negative comments include:
- Doesn't really give advice -- well, it's more showing you what they did and how you could do the same.
- First of all they got an auto that was previously modified and probably beat on. - Okay, well... they're just showing you THEIR project car... the base fit what their budget was and they built it from there...
- OP of the negative thread also says they run a CAI and BOV - which around the NASIOC circles/forums is a big no-no... guess what, a lot of people run 'em anyway. (The stock intake and bypass are more than adequate for the stock turbo... with an upgrade, you'll want to pull in more air, but you probably don't need a BOV - unless you like that sound )
- OP also complained about the suspension and aggressive wheels... there's a whole thread on NASIOC on aggressive wheels - mostly the owners out on the West Coast.

I think overall, the magazine is still a good resource to supplement the shop manual... worth the $6 to me, still.

a lot of stuff in the article was incorrect I think, I dont know though, I havent read the article, and nasioc is full of morons.

See above.

I found the two threads in question.

I agree, re: NASIOC is full of morons. Or full of people who are like, "I heard that..." and "I read that..." and "I think that..." -- me included at times.

I'm not mechanic, and if I think something's beyond me, I'll ask for help, or take it to a shop... the magazine is more detailed and helpful than 90% of the threads/posts on NASIOC when someone asks for help...
