I plan to make a resurrection video for her when she is back on the road and yes it will be very nice. I have until 12-21-2011 night to get it on the road or I will be 100% carless for weeks.

I use iMovie on my mac. I want final cut pro or adobe premier but the cost is nuts. Could be used as a business expense

All the movie editing seems to be done on Mac's. I'm a PC guy, so I'll have to check out Adobe Premiere or something a little less costly.

I have got a PC right next to Mac and I have edited on both. I just like the mac better and never liked what came out of the pc but adobe would be best for the pc.

Got new battery cranked better but then still no start but it did spit up all kinds of oil. Coming out of the oil line from the turbo to the back of the heads. Looks like only one copper ring was in. I just put two in and I can't get it to thread all the way! Any pointers? It will thread with the line out of the way so threads work but it just won't grab when I put the line on. Also if timing was off what would it sound like?

If timing was off you may hear a back fire through the intake. Check all connectors and holy shit i just realized we went to high school together. Small world,Its Brian H. btw. Send me a pm and I can hopefully point you in the right direction. I just got a 94 turbo leggy and dusted off all of GO Subarus old service manuals.

Well pre-oil spill it would just crank forever and i could here it try to catch but wouldnt. Also it would pop but i could only here it through the exhaust since its just a wrx dp and thats it. But glad it didnt fire up or i would have ran out of oil quick. I was trying to thread the banjo fitting into the head but it goes in about a half inch before it even catches. Looks like my threads are bad so now i have to pull exhaust and turbo ad the back of the head off.

Here is what my threads look like and I had a friend I sold my other heads to take a picture of the threads on it.

^^^^looks a bit better so I need to find a new piece or fix these. Just can't get it off without taking stuff off. 1 step forward and then 3 steps back seems to be the theme

Retimed and putting on intake. Best way to tighten crank bolt without messing up timing?

Retimed? How do you retime these engines? You mean your belt was off?

Just drove it to work. Have 50 miles on the engine now but I love it.

The exhaust is just a wrx 3 in DP and thats it. Has anyone done this? and did yours shake the car like the dickens? Idle is fine but slight acceleration is a bit too loud. Think if I tightened the hangers up and added a straight pipe out the side or back may help?

Are Wiseco Pistons normally loud? Engine seems extra loud under the hood. Also it smokes after I start it up I have only started it like 6 times but its my new build so I worry. Thank you to everyone for the help and I will keep you updated.

Forged pistons are louder than OEMs. Or at least they are before warmed up. So I've read on NASIOC.

Watch turbo creep/spikes if you're running just a dp.
