Farkas Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Pretty much just sold my motor for the TE72 and bought a new one.. call me crazy, but I made out well on the deal. Should have wiring harness done, couple RWD conversions to the motor and it'll be ready to fire up for the first time in about a year. Next will be the suspension, but I just wanna get the bitch on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceGhost Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 I have a lower radiator hose coming today and new plugs on the way for this weekend. I am going to try to find some plugs locally for the wife's WRX tomorrow so I'll knock both out this weekend. I had to get NGK 1 step colder plugs from sparkplugs.com for mine as that is what it was tuned with. I'll also do an air filter for both, but any tard can do that, even me. SO after this weekend I don't think i will have to lift the hood on either WRX unless I am checking/changing oil or filling the washer fluid for some time. The wife's timing belt will be due next winter, maybe I will forget my debacle and attempt it again on her's next winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiColin Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 New spark plugs, and switching from conventional oil now that the motors broke in. Just picked up a new turbo timer, just waiting on the plug and play harness. I got bored and ran all the wires, just need the harness to plug in and go. Parts to be ordered in the next week or so: Rotors, pads, driver side solid motor mount maybe passenger side as well, suspension goodies. I really want to make it out to a track day this year. I've been worried the past couple years about breaking stuff but now with the built motor my confidence is returning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceGhost Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Plugs and air filters are done on both WRXs. left is the Upper Radiator hose on my wife's car and the lower radiator hose on my car. Then a neutral position switch on my car, and I will be done for a long while I hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
