Sweet, I just preordered the expansion valve from kragen.

So you only used 1 can of r-134a? Did it have a gauge on it and did it contain any of that sealer stuff? I think I read our cars take around 14-18 ounces and 1 can is 12 oz. I'll probably try 1 can first and see how that goes. I have an old a/c gauge system but the hoses have different connections :\

I can't wait to work on it on the weekend. Fixing stuff yourself feels awesome

 

ya it feels great and saves money lol.

Yea I only used one can. Figured that would be all I would need due to the fact that I didnt evacuate the entire system. The can I bought also contained the sealer type r134a too.

I got my friend to fill the system because I dont have any of the hoses or gauges to measure the pressure in the system. So i gave him a couple beers and he did it

 

Well its been almost a week and ive driven about 185miles and CELL P0172 hasnt come back on

So I guess cleaning my MAF did the trick

 

Well was out at Folsom Lake Friday July 30th.
Guess one of the rocks was a bit bigger than I thought

 

added an up todate mod list in the OP

 

Holy hell. I'm trying to pull out that black airbox to get to the expansion valve now. I don't know how you did it haha

 

lol yea.. its pretty hard.

I think I ended up removing the two halves and taking the top/bottom out seperatly... I think.

But yea, its a pain lol, and the white plastic around the valve isnt fun either lol

The gauges and dashboard lights look soooo clean!! I'm definitely diggin the blue. And finalllly I know what those circles behind the front grill are in everyone's WRX...Hella supertones! I might pick up a set just for the asthetics -.^

 

Thanks haha.

Yea the hellas are (for me) both for looks, and they really are much louder than stock lol.
