They are weird things but was probably the easiest oil change I've ever done. Fuel system additives and upper engine cleaner was a new world for me. Unfortunately too they use blue coolant so I didn't have any in stock. Realised after I'd pulled off 19 plastic rivets to get the shields off to access the radiator drain. So will finish that but tonight. Speaking of Subaru's.... Have an 07 Impreza as my daily since the XR6 is consigned to the odd weekend run. Just did an upper engine clean on it also. Like working on these things - have done all the usual maintenance tasks such as timing belt kit, water pump, plugs, cam cover gasket, all fluids etc. Was my sons car till he wanted a manual. So he now has a 09 RX and a box of bits ready to be installed. Looks like I have a busy weekend ahead.... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put my T55 torx bit to use today and got the oil changed in the gearbox of the landrover. The stuff that came out was farked!!! it was dirty and had a fair amount of metal through it. The box shifts better, not that it was too bad before. Turns out that topping stuff up reveals every leak that is there. The transfer case is leaking but that's an easy fix. I should have done it yesterday but couldn't be farked. The rear pinion seal is leaking, once again an easy fix but more work to do. There is an engine oil leak from somewhere and the front diff is covered in oil, probably from the engine but knowing my luck it'll be leaking too. All easy sh*t to fix but time consuming.

In 4th gear I get a bit of boost surge up in the rpms. If I plumb comp outlet tube to bottom port of gate as well as tee it to stock boost solenoid in port and then from out port of boost solenoid to top port of gate will this give better boost control? My other car a 300zx with single to4z has profec b boost controller and is plumbed like that and has perfect boost control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The usual thing to do with boost creep is to use a bigger wastegate. Without actually logging the car and seeing the tune I can't give you a definite answer. Edit: It might not even be an issue with the wastegate. Edited 19/03/22 09:25 AM by Puffwagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spose there's a couple more things to do to it, but having better sound quality/volume will make it heaps better. Pity I'm a fresh out the tube noob when it comes to car audio.

I haven't decided yet if it all gets tossed or I just add to it. It's got a clarion dxz586usb head unit and some clarion srq1630r 3 way speakers in the front and rear. The speakers still sound ok but are slightly rooted so yerp, thinking to upgrade soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
