Was that warm or cold?
cold
I got 160 - 165 - 170 - 175 on my last check. I checked it because the water pump pretty much exploded on a long trip and I had to baby it home with it pretty much slapping the top of the temp guage... That was the longest 30 miles of my life. Had to go real slow and keep stopping to cool it down. Didn't blow a head gasket though, so that's good. Fel-Pro makes a damn good head gasket.
Bradley, do you know what resistance a resistor box runs? I want to wire resistors inline because I don't have a box. I found what resistance they were once, but I can't find it for the life of me now.
I was wondering, why do you guys work on your cars so much ? my car makes no problems mhm
this lightbar y/n [img]https://www.rallyinnovations.com/uploads/products/33_07_light_bar_side.jpg[/img] [img]https://www.rallyinnovations.com/uploads/products/33_07_Impreza_light_bar.jpg[/img] i probably won't put lights on it but it looks cool and keeps my bumper from getting increasingly fucked up
I'd do it without the lights, and maybe cap off the whole area in between it.
lightbar y the first one more rallyish

bought new bumper and lightbar c: still thinking about light setup, probably sell fogs and get only 2 lights
Picked up 3 of these for $75. They sell new for $100+ each.

Can't really tell, but did you remove the bars around the Subie logo?
[QUOTE=Del91;29898318]Can't really tell, but did you remove the bars around the Subie logo?[/QUOTE] I left the ones on top and bottom of it.
FUCKING. HONDA ECU PLUGS. I MAF. I MELTED THAT MOTHERFUCKER AND IT STILL WON'T GIVE ME THE PIN. really fucking annoying.
[QUOTE=Roflnocerous;29899998]FUCKING. HONDA ECU PLUGS. I MAF. I MELTED THAT MOTHERFUCKER AND IT STILL WON'T GIVE ME THE PIN. really fucking annoying.[/QUOTE] What is it you're trying to do exactly? Most plugs of sorts have a really small pressed lip/pin/thing that holds prongs and that kinda shit in place. I deal with that all the time messing with molex plugs, I just bend the pin things with a needle and re-arrange them as necessary.
Yeah, it has one but I have no idea where the tab is. I was trying to rip one apart so I could see how it worked, but it won't surrender its secrets to me. I'm going to go pick up a pin removal tool today to see if I can finish popping it out.
Don't have a hoist? [img]http://imageshack.us/m/856/5241/photo05181249.jpg[/img] It even came with a free chair. [img]http://imageshack.us/m/198/6008/photo051812491.jpg[/img] It lives! All that's left is the easy stuff, like making it road legal.
