Looks like you need a 60mm vent gauge holder

Yeah i do. No one will give me one though the dawgs

[Barbbachello]

More parts i dont need? Yes

More yahoo bargains. Set of HKS headers. Aside from being 4-1 headers the collector is right back and a nice single piece of pipe to connect to the up pipe. This means a nice location for an external gate when the time comes, rather than sticking it out the back and having to contest with the steering column and dump pipe.

Little bit crusty but for $50 i wont complain

[crjohnson]

Thats a bargain, postage is normally way more than that! Did you combine it with something else you're telling us? haha

[Barbbachello]

The headers themselves were $50 alone lol. Probably closer to $200 by the time they land. Still about 1/3 the price

Holy crap barbs... how do you find all these goodies? Do you trawl yahoo every 6 hours or something? This is going to be epic...

[El_Freddo]

Going to be epic? Is already epic, just getting epiccer along the way!

Barbs, is there a chance this build will be actually done soon? If so, quickest build I’ve ever seen I reckon!

I’m still working on my build, only 15 years so far...

More like every 2 or 3 hours haha. With the way yahoo is these days the yanks and resellers are all over it. Only time you get bargains is when the jap seller lists it under a wrong category basically

I dont plan on doing anything else for a while now to save up and get the body fixed up. Maybe put the Power FC in and get it tuned by a mate as is

[Barbbachello]

Nothing particularly exciting to report. The hose that feeds the bottom of the header tank split 2km from home.

A universal "Z" hose from supercheap and some new coolant and good as new. Shouldn't be any 20 year old hoses left on the car now. Also swapped the Gen 4 spec twin scroll dip stick to a GDB one so the AC lines will fit. Picked up a tensioner on the weekend so just need to install that and the new belt and get some gas put in it. 

In other car news, my sedan has finally left the block


Ive donated it to the SES to use for jaws of life training. They have said i can come and watch when they cut it up so that should be fun to watch

First proper oil change on the turbo engine. Decided to lash out on some HKS oil cos it comes in a sweet can

[RX25SE]

Sweet can indeed.

 

Never heard of a 7.5W-45 oil!!

[El_Freddo]

For when you want a light weight oil, but don’t want 5w and 10w is too much

Cool can, I agree. I bet you paid through your nose for that!

And for when 40 is too thin and 50 too thick, right?

Hehehe... correct! I didn’t notice that!

I saw someone selling some of this on facebook recently, looks damn expensive!

Paid less than that for the entire oil change but yeah. Wasnt cheap lol

[Barbbachello]

Had something super awesome arrive yesterday. Never thought id actually see one of these things let alone have one, especially not new in the box. Gen 2 specific HKS glovebox gauge holder




Moved the EVC in as thats where its meant to go, thankfully the ash tray delete pocket covers all crimes from making the EVC fit


Pretty much the perfect interior now

[crjohnson]

Hows the engine work going though? So much driveline not enough HP's? 

 

Thats one thing that sucks in the gen3's, 1 cup holder..

Still going fine. 99% sure the up pipe gaskets are absolutely shot so that needs doing but i cant really be forked as the up pipe has to come out due to reasons which means engine has to be jacked up cos 3 bolt flange 

[allpaw4]

That looks very sweet there Barbs!
And what you talking about crjohnson, there's the one on the dash and the one in the centre console?
And if you need more, just flip open the rear 2.

Cheers,
Ben

[El_Freddo]

And what you talking about crjohnson, there's the one on the dash and the one in the centre console?

Not if you have a dual range gearbox, the low range lever uses the space where the centre console cup holder would be.

Dont stress about that. Old school Subarus such as the L series and Brumby have two cup holders. Four of you have a passenger. Either way, not ideal for actual driving duties

Barbs, that glovebox console is super neat and has that extra stealth factor. I never knew these were a thing! Does the passenger monitor or are they easy to see from that distance? It seems a long way to move your eyes from the road to adjust to what your looking at. Still sweet though.
