I'd help, but I'm a bit too far....sorry Anf.

How much was the compressor? I have so many things I'd use it for...sandblast, painting, just air in the tires(closest gas station to my rents house is like 15 minutes), air tools. Oh man I want one. Best investments are on tools

^^not sure what youve read, alot of people change it without removing the radiator, do yourself a favor and remove it, gives you alot more room, and keeps you from breaking the thing. wrx radiators suck and the inlets like to break off easily from what I've heard and seen, (mine broke). also, when youre resetting your timing belt guides on the cams, a credit card worked perfect to guage the gap. You'll see when you rip it apart.

Nice!

And I agree brew on your own Dunkin FTW, day n night compared to the bullshit we usually get. 1 creme and it actually turned light brown where the old coffee you needed 3 just to make any color change lol

[Hecz]

so what's the best product to use for this application?

heat paint. I don't know what the best heat paint is, you'll have to research that.
other then that, there's nothing else to it.

Im going to refinish my valve cover too.
its goint to look sick

There's something wrong with that coffee lol

Thanks guys, I was tempted to get PIC coilovers but I needed 4 other people in the group buy to get them at a kick ass price. Everyone in the Squad's been losing their jobs so that was a no go

Oh well..

 

[hooked_on4]

Ahh, how much were yours?

I might spring (no pun intended) for that stance deal but i have to make sure it's not 100% irresponsible on my part 1st
