Neiliux's STi: Victim of the infamous ring-land issue
http://neiliuxsti.blogspot.com/2009/04/victim-of-infamous-ring-land-issue.html
A blog about your car? I'd say I am so sane that I just blew your mind. Friday, April 24, 2009. Victim of the infamous ring-land issue. I pop in the clutch, turn the key, hear that sweet boxer exhaust note then out of nowhere my garage fills up with a thick light bluish smoke. Could it be? After about a month of what seemed to be bi-weekly visits to the dealership they finally did the compression/leak-down test which confirmed that piston 4 was low by 45PSI! About time you posted this up man! MSW Type 16...

Neiliux's STi: Front Agency Power end-links and sway bar install
http://neiliuxsti.blogspot.com/2009/02/agency-power-front-sway-bar-and-end.html
A blog about your car? I'd say I am so sane that I just blew your mind. Saturday, February 21, 2009. Front Agency Power end-links and sway bar install. In a previous post. I installed rear end-links and a rear sway bar so in this post we will do the front. I found the front end to be easier to install, however it requires you to pull more parts off the car to get at the sway bar mounts. Once I figured this out the install was a piece of cake though. First get the annoying plastic protector removed. And u...

Neiliux's STi: (Intake) Silencer Delete
http://neiliuxsti.blogspot.com/2009/02/intake-silencer-delete.html
A blog about your car? I'd say I am so sane that I just blew your mind. Saturday, February 21, 2009. Intake kills any noise the turbo might generate). The removal is a very easy process and took me less then 30 minutes. First remove the front passenger side wheel. Next, locate all the clips that hold the fender lining in place.I was able to remove six clips to get the lining to pull back enough to get at the silencer. Remove the top nut from the engine bay. I am pointing. To it in the below picture.

A blog about your car? I'd say I am so sane that I just blew your mind. Wednesday, August 27, 2008. Rebuild of the front passenger side strut. I will need to invest in some ramps with less of a angle. urgh. This shows how far I could drive the car onto the ramps before the front end would hit. Note that the car is resting on the jack in the picture. Car is resting on jacks. This is the strut directly after being taken off the car. Can you spot whats wrong with it? Here is the strut completely. The larges...

http://neiliuxsti.blogspot.com/2009/02/hood-heat-shield-replacement.html
A blog about your car? I'd say I am so sane that I just blew your mind. Sunday, February 22, 2009. Hood heat shield replacement. After driving with no oil cap I ended up with oil all over the heat shield. Which destroyed it. 100 bucks and a week. Later (Thanks Subaru) I had a new shield. Bottom is the new one, top is the bad one. That old one is just NASTY looking. Looks a lot smaller installed though! February 22, 2009 at 3:41 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

http://neiliuxsti.blogspot.com/2008/10/new-wheels-and-tires.html
A blog about your car? I'd say I am so sane that I just blew your mind. Wednesday, October 29, 2008. New wheels and tires. I finally got around to ordering a new set of wheels and tires.

http://neiliuxsti.blogspot.com/2008/08/cobb-spring-install-day.html
A blog about your car? I'd say I am so sane that I just blew your mind. Wednesday, August 6, 2008. Cobb spring install day (well days). Owner created for people just like me. Verified that I have all tools needed to get the job done. Night before prep work, making sure my socketed. Wrench w/ 6MM hex T will work to get the strut apart. It worked perfectly. The individual pieces from the above picture. The last picture of the car in one piece with the OEM. I started by breaking loose the center 17MM strut.
