The blacks are selling out everywhere. I might be getting the silver as well. Long as I get the remote I'm cool with it. I won't use wifi much anyways. All my mounts are solid so once it's in it's in. I need to redo my mounts this year though. The front mount on my helmet is pointed too far down.

If you're looking for a black try Lic Motorsports. I know they were sold out recently but expecting some more in.





So.... car.... tempted to sell it pretty cheap as I'm honestly just too stressed out right now with everything else that's going on. It's got a few very minor things wrong with it that I just can't focus on to fix and I have the parts for it. So I'm tempted to sell it for a little less to an icluber that's wanting to fix it and just get a beater for the next year. I have to get my 53 caddy running before march. running and in primer with the seats and carpet in... ug.

Looks almost like a clone of adam's but I liked adam's better.

Sad thing is how much money people want for those things and just aren't going to get most of the time.

Figure this... wrecked STI... $10k. RS... $5k. That's about what you're gonna get for them. $12-17k if they're super clean and legit. Guys start wanting $25-30k and I want to laugh. It's just not going to happen. It sucks... but it's not.

Hell I almost bought a wrecked STI for $6k earlier this year with 45k miles on it.

Ya I offered my wagon lol!

So one thing I found while changing my oil is that my front passanger CV Boot is torn. So anyone done an axle replacement before? Been looking into it and it doesnt look too difficult. Other things I found was quite a bit of thin oil along the bottom of the block. Ill post photos hopefully tonight.

Front or the back of the block? You might have a valve gasket leak. I have what looks like a small one. Or is it on the side? It could be related to the oil you're seeing under the intercooler... drip down.

I'd wash the ever living hell out of your motor and then monitor it for a couple weeks. Find the leak.

Its on both sides (left right) of the block. The front half of the oil pan is covered in what looks like old thick oil residue. Was thinking it might be a valve cover leak also. There is a tube that comes down from the bottom of the block next to the uppipe that is also covered in thick oil residue.

If the axle is seized good luck! I did mine and I had to heat it with a torch, use a puller, and beat the **** out of it. It was totally seized!

Probably axle grease from your torn cv boot. Mine slung black grease all over my engine bay ( GRR )
