lol

afaik the head gasket issue is not nearly as much of an issue with the newer 2.5 motors, na or not.

one of my new precious tires blew out when i hit a pothole this morning. i have sadaids.

womp womp.

Supposedly, here in New York State, the municipality that maintains the road can be held responsible for damage caused by potholes.

That is a brutal pothole(s). At least it didn't cause you to have an accident in dat noVa traffic. Is the wheel OK?

oh ive already filed a claim with VDot. wheel seems to be okay.

i actually tried to avoid, i do every morning. and somehow went right into it. and when i hit i knew it was bad and then my pressure light came on instantly. blew out the sidewall.

tire is 2 weeks old tomorrow. Continental apparently has a 12-mo road hazard warrenty so im going to see what it takes to get a new one.

Discount just called me back and a new tire is on its way. Gotta love warrenties.

Holy crap, I'd wanna kill someone over that pothole.

And I'd be worried about uneven wear between old/new, but I guess 2 weeks shouldn't be a big deal

yeah, there's no wear on these yet. But what I'll try to do is get VDOT to foot the bill for a new alignment and mounting/balancing cost; claim already submitted.

Nevermind on my awesome parts, they is sold.

BUT, if anyone reasonably local to Ohio is interested, I have a front subframe and steering rack from the same 2005 STi that I need to get rid of.

Like, I'm moving out of state in a few weeks, and REALLY need to get rid of it.

Local WRX/Fozzy guys want awesome steering?

?

Hmm how central is your central OH location, I'm within an hour of the border.

is in a GD and did this

Torque in Nm, its using an evo9 fitment turbo. I require more info.

who cares. the amount of work to make that fit would render it unusable for most of us

I dont think so, it looks like it fits with all the stock bits in front of the engine, but uses a fmic and flipped intake manifold.

so you agree with me. lol

Yeah, no problem. They've got it down to a science. Use the thick grimmspeed tgv spacers and a TB spacer with the tb rotated 90* and it clears everything, even with A/C.

look you're gonna have to talk about cars other than miata and subaru when you wanna talk bullshit and have me believe it.

I know too much about both to listen to it lol

Naw man I read it on NABISCO it must be true. And from the pictures it even looked true.
