Thread from the dead! (Lol ...

Bump - sitting home sick on labor day weekend so I'm taking care of old business! Post updated - some more goodies added.

Figured I should post an update considering I never posted any feedback regarding what the problem was (sorry! :oops: )...

Pulled off the water pump and found that the thermostat housing only had one of the two bolts in it. :shock: Not sure how long it had been missing; i.e., if the bolt loosened ...

WRX Brakes sold...other goodies still for sale.

Juussstt out of curiosity...how much time does it typically take?

it's possible for sure. What mileage and car?? Is it the original water pump?? You should have replaced the upper and lower hoses as well.

The car has about 170K on it. I'm unsure if the car has the original water pump or not . The previous owner did all of the valve cover gaskets and cam seals ...

I've had a lingering ever-so-slight coolant leak from where the upper radiator hose meets the radiator for the past year or so. I found that the upper radiator hose connection on the radiator was almost completely broken off, so I replaced the radiator with a new unit, and everything was perfect ...

Right now I'm rocking steelies :-D

Damn, this might turn out to be a 'big miss' for me, 'cause I'm not the type who buys parts and lets them sit around for a rainy day... :(

...but you're better off having these around for a rainy day than in a few months to find your brakes are going out , and ...

Where do you live?

And, uhh, will the WRX fronts fit on 15" wheels?

I'm on the coast of CT, about 30 miles from NY - note that my prices are for everything shipped. However, if you want to pick up I'll obviously offer a discount.

And the WRX brakes will not fit any factory 15" wheels. They will ...

Bump for me being an idiot - the brackets ARE included with the WRX calipers, rotors, and pads. So, for $200 shipped, you're getting EVERYTHING you need to do the front brake upgrade.

More stuff to come shortly as well - I've got some projects I need to fund!

Let me know what you've got!

They're all black...

The Autometer?

I have a few for sale:

Do those brakes come with the proper brackets? I can't see brackets in the pics, or maybe it's just my old eyes...

Not the old eyes (I kept the resolution down on the pics to the lowest setting so I wouldn't have to go through and resize them after, and so that I wouldn't bog down this thread ...

Consider selling them sans rotors?

Maybe...I'm going to sit on the full package deal for a bit first, otherwise I've got a great set of rotors that I can use as nothing more than giant coasters!

Factory CD/Tape Deck in excellent condition added.

Endlinks sold - WRX Brakes added!

Speakers sold - sorry 93Leg-c!

For what it's worth you can pick them up for marginally more ($50+shipping) on eBay. I'd still highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top notch yet cheap speaker upgrade for these cars!

Questions on three things regarding speakers:

1--Will OEM door speaker cover fit over these speakers provided I don't make the adapter rings too thick?

2--How is the sound quality amazing over the OEMs -- midrange and treble crisper, sweeter, or ??? Is bass deeper, smoother, louder, or ???

3 ...

Interested in the speakers. Do they replace the front door speakers perfectly? (I've never touched my speakers so I have no idea even what size they are.)

No, as far as I know, nothing replaces the front speakers perfectly. The front speakers have a three-way "bolt pattern", and most aftermarket ...

Whiteline sway-bar bushings sold. Boost gauges and speakers added.

Agreed.

Wow, never seen the Auto climate control on a US car.

That car doesn't look that bad, however. 70K(!), and the rust doesn't look horrible compared to what I'm used to seeing on these cars.

Yeah, I was happy with it for quite a while.

Still, that's odd that the WRX intercooler isn't doing better than the Saab one. Do you have an especially tight bend in the inlet tubing or anything?

The bend is about as smooth as smooth can be, and I'm using both inlets (my WRX IC setup is on its ...

I've been doing a lot of research regarding alignments on our cars, and it took me a while to find this thread - even though there's a lot of good info in here.

Maybe we could get the spelling error in the title fixed to it's easier to find?
