Finally some one as bad as I am on cars. But I can top that...
The WRX is hurting and might go down for the count!
It's smoking really bad, plumes when blipping the gas and leaves a smoke trail while driving I'll be calling a Subaru dealer monday to see what's up with this. I have a very good friend who will take care of the car there. The mods will be over looked
What's more shocking is there is no CEL or anything...
Man, that sucks.
Last time one of my cars was blowing mass amounts of crap out of the exaust it was the GTI's valve stem seals. Blech.
Although the work truck is now burning so much coolant it looks like an impromptu smoke show. lol.
We already have the new heads ready, now we just need to get it done....
6.5 TD FTMFL.
I hope your car gets figured out soon, Rob.
What's up with all the bad car Kharma going on around here?!?!

I don't think clutches like you.
Apparently not.
It's still got plenty of grab, but shifting from 5th to 6th I got major grindage, then it wouldn't go into any gear. With the car off and the clutch pedal in it goes through the gears fine. It's actually still driveable, but I plan to get it fixed this week and hopefully throw an LSD in while the gearbox is out....

maybe its because EP3s don't have 6 gears
Does that mean you found one or are you still just hoping?

Haha, most of them don't.
I didn't find one, I will probably order one new. I really don't have the money for it right now, but since the gearbox has to come out anyhow, I'd rather do the 2 together than pull it out a second time. I was planning on doing a higher FD as well, but I'm going to have to skip that.
i made a sort of little photo diary of my head getting rebuilt yesterday, was cool to watch it get done, then i got to drive my baby home after not having it for a week
but i am limited to 4,000rpm and no WOT on the basemap
