haha no **** you order from there? I worked there for a while, I was the wiseass who would pick up the phones. My line was "If you're pizza was late, sure as **** it wasn't my fault"

Can't pay for the exhaust though, what were the damaged panels on your L? Just so I know as I'm figuring out what to do with the pile of parts building up. Plus, I hope to be AWD soon.

the front passenger fender I'm replacing has a couple light dings, and it looks like somebody hit the corner light with a bat or something, so there's some light damage to that area. I'm sure you could bend/bodyfill/repaint it and it would be all good. I'm not gonna need it, so it's yours for uber cheap.

5$ for the fender
5$ for the bumper (I might go lower)
20$ for the wheels/tires (****ty 13" steels, 2 bald tires, no rash though!)

If you want the bumper beam I'd throw that in with the bumper cover. It's good as a massive paperweight, or for beating down fools....

i dont have any tools, would you guys be able to help me out?. i currently have v8 sti takeoff on my car and they are clunking the left rear. I heard a lot of subaru owner have this problem so i am not sure. secondly whenever i drive on uneven pavement, my car seem to steer in that direction as a result i have to hold the steering wheel firmly. I have talked to a couple people and they said the cause might be because I have dont have 0 toe. I never got an alignment after installing the suspension so that might also be the cause.

so what i would like to do is to take them off and then reinstall them correctly with your guys help

Yeah... It is really up to the other's. I don't know if that would be something we could do. If there are a lot of experienced people, they might be able to help you. For the most part, the installs we tend to do are simple things like pulley's, sway bars, and little items like that, but hey... worse case scenario is you come by and have someone diagnosis the problem for you.

I know you're generally supposed to get alignments after suspension mods other than stuff like strut braces, sway bars, etc.

I'm guessing that's your problem. A misaligned rear wheel could be causing the clunking. I guess the other symptoms can be blamed on alignment also. I guess we'll see though. I'll bring the tools for suspension work, which I suppose would be a big socket wrench and some beast sockets.


And a side note.... Will there be an air compressor on site?

Absolutely get an alignment! Reinstalling the parts will not fix anything and there's a good chance you could make it worse...

Sorry I won't be able to make the installfest, I'll be in Texas...happy ratcheting!

Hey Bell R, Just let me know when you are back in town and we can meet up somewhere so I can get you your chairs. I think Rau is on that side of the bay so maybe I can relay to you by him.

Also... I don't have an air compressor and really, I don't even know what it is... but yeah.

I have a fairly portable compressor, its 150 psi and like a 3-5 gallon tank or something. Get's the job done.

Is there gonna be a need for air tools? If we're touching wheels/suspension/brakes, I'd say yes but so far it looks like a maybe
