Hey terry, i still gotta find some time to swap out my dp , any chance of throwin another garage day sometime, maybe a big one w/ a bbq and what not. Tell your dad i will take him golfin again or maybe he would like to join us. Probably not, since he works on cars all day anyway. Anyone else have some goodies they need to install, within driving distance to Laconia.

Just driveway mechanic it. It is one of the easiest installs you can do on the rex.

Yeah, i tried that, bolts are crossthreaded and either need to be cut and re studded or i need new piece of the turbo altogether. Dont really know as i am a Cable guy not a mechanic so thats why i need some help from someone who actually does know what they are doing.

Murphy isnt the STI up-pipe identical, just no cat?
I might be interested if this de-catting doesn't go smoothly... or if this one seems to be heavily corroded.

Ya, same thing as the rex, but with no cat. Makes your job easier. I already have a catless up pipe and I got one when I bought all the new turbo stuff.

So i got my sways, links, shortshifter, and high flow cat. All i need is a shop to install all this stuff in. (wink wink, nudge nudge)
Any one else need to do an install day really badly?:spin:

My driveway is about 3 inches of slush on top of 4 inches of ice. I will if i have to though. I cant stand having new parts staring me when i walk in from work everyday.

The next thing I'm doing is sways so it wound hurt to watch those go on... I'll stop by and watch. Where is Murphy's shop?

Laconia...It took me 1 hour to install the rear sway, i had to bore out the rear bushings to fit the new bar because Nate lost them on me...But then he shipped them to me and i had to do it all over again. Pretty straight forward, id do it in the rain.

Little over a mile up the road from Belknap Subaru, if you remember from last year.
