    The Post Whore Thread!

    It was 74deg here yesterday. Today it's 33deg and snowing. Real feel is at 23deg. This is horseshit. It's pretty f*#ked up to be including a wind chill factor with the forecast in April. Is mother nature having a seizure? Is this a bad trip? She's a pretty vengeful, stupid whore.

    Turbo Oil Screen

    General rule of thumb is to just remove and discard any of the oil line screens that you can easily get to.

    The Post Whore Thread!

    Never pulled the DP to check for the typical wastegate crack, but I'm sure it's there. I had enough evidence that the turbo is on it's way out from pulling the intake and intercooler. It is odd, which is how I reacted to it at first, but never the less here I am looking at replacement turbos and...

    The Post Whore Thread!

    I'm not very nice to it, but I don't pound the piss out of it either. My trip to work is rather short at around 20 minutes round trip, depending on traffic. VF39s fail. It's not uncommon, but it doesn't happen all the time either. I had help with diag. from a friend that works at a local...

    Because the car is ten years old. It'll probably live forever as it is, it'll just burn oil. Gives me an excuse to tell the wife it's time to upgrade. . . veiled in a cloak of deception lol.

    Sure it is. Compression and leak-down are good. Turbo is old and tired. Had just a bit too much oil in the intercooler and compressor outlet to the intercooler.

    The Post Whore Thread!

    Mine gets driven every day, so I like to see just what it's getting every now and then. It usually gets 18 on average. Which is totally forgivable. Might have something to do with me letting it idle for five, sometimes ten minutes before I move it when it's cold out. Or, it could have...

    The Post Whore Thread!

    I got 200.9 miles out of my last tank. That's roughly 16mpg. 16! Now, I full on do not expect this thing to get Prius mileage, but 16 is just a bit silly. My '02 Ram got just about the same.

    GD A Late Intro to More Power

    Let's see if I can give you guys some background. . . Bought my STi five years ago now. When I bought it from the original owner, I was able to have a chat with him as he was trading it in at the dealership I work for. I had been driving an '07 Cobalt SS/SC, and knew that in the next year or...

    I started my online forum life back in '08 when I joined CobaltSS.net, then BuffaloScooby.com, which is my home (sorry). I'm also on IWSTi, but never go there anymore. Then I found ClubWRX.net, and you guys around the same time. I'm also on ChevyMalibuForum because my wife went out and bought a...

    Subaru Powertrain Warranty Review

    I'm baffled by this, really. I don't understand why they won't do anything for you concidering the compression test came back the way that it did. I work in the parts department at a small Ford dealer, and with regard to the 6.0L Diesels being what they are, we see a lot of head gasket failures...

    Annoying Rattle

    Yeah....I have been "just living with it" as it only happens once in a while, not while going straight/enjoying my drive.
