What about the feasibility of doing this swap in that same 1.6L N/A Impreza? Does anyone have an idea of the cost of a WRX front cut?

tinytim

Yeah but can this be a cost effective upgrade? Want to get some feedback from people in the know.

Maybe you wanted a WRX back when they weren't available here, and now that they are, you can't muster the same excitement.

Went by Prentice, thanks!

Can anyone recommend me to someone who's reputable, preferably located in the north/north east.

tinytim

Like the topic says, what makes/models of foreign used vehicles come (fully loaded) with the following, I'm just trying to narrow my options here:

1.6 - 1.8 EFI
Dual SRS Air Bags
ABS
Rear Disc Brakes

tinytim

Sorry there dry, my bad. But thanks for the info TriniGT.

Can anyone reply with this? Vehicle is a 1998 model, local used.

tinytim

How hard are parts to get for these cars? I'm talking about everything from engine sensors and mounts, to shocks, velocity joints, steering components and belts.

tinytim

^^^ BKR5E-U11 you say?

tinytim

I have 2 questions, first... what kind of oil best suits these cars. I'm not going fully synthetic, I was thinking the Shell synthetic blend (blue bottle). Also, what kind of plugs do these cars use (1600CC DOHC), NGK BKR5E-11?

tinytim

I using Wagner's available at all branches of The Motorist. At about $170 a pair for pads I hardly get any brake fade and very close to no dust.

tinytim

The clamps have the same effect on your ride quality as cutting your springs, just with the clamps the effect is not permanent. Mr. fixables have B&G lowering springs for the Lancer, Last time I checked the set was $1050. I can't remember his number though, do a search here and you should get it.

Morpheus, I could recommend my mechanic to you if you like, he used to be a service technician at Diamond Motors but left for a better position with the dealers of Audi (Mel's I believe). Depending on where you live, he'll make house calls at your convenience. PM me if you like and I'll give you his...

^^^CK2 Lancer, don't believe there's anything there that can be easily damaged like the B14's.

Anybody have experience with a shop called Zulie Auto Electrical in Aranguez? It's a father and son business.

tinytim

Inside the throttle body on fuel injected engines nuh. Is there any special procedure to follow? For instance, my mechanic usually removes the intake piping and sprays inside the throttle body with Gum Solve, wipes out ll the carbon deposits with a rag and that seems to be about it. This looks simpl...

My bad X2, stock is actually 1.5" mandrel bent. What you think... leave it and just replace the cat and muffler, or go with 2" crush bends? Oh... and I am on stock internals.

tinytim

Just what I thought... for now I want to swap out the catalytic converter for a resonator though, keep the stock piping and maybe put in a free flow muffler.

tinytim

What's the suggested upgrade to replace a stock 1.75" mandrel bent exhaust with. In this case I'm going with crush bends, so I was thinking that 2" crush bends would have no effect, since with the crush bends will offer no big difference really. Also, what's the difference between using a "trush bar...

tinytim

Changed mine to Wagner last week, got them from The Motorist. They work great, no squealing much less fade than the Schneiders and ABSOLUTELY NO DUST!!!

tinytim

One other question, does the oil have to dry totally before you put it back in?

tinytim

2" - 2.5" depending on weather you getting mandrel or crush bends.

Just the kinda feedback I was looking for... thanks for the opinions. Gonna go ahead with my project.

NGK makes a set of wires, I believe the part number is "ME96". These are the 2 wire set that works on the 4G92. Do a search on NOPI online store for them, think they're about $21 US.

Oh and as soon as you get word on the TPS I'd like to know where they're available.

As it says above, how does upgrading your exhaust to a 2" free flow system affect gas mileage? The vehicle in question is fuel injected and N/A with a cold air intake upgrade. At first, I was of the opinion that upgrades to the intake and exhaust would simply make the vehicle more efficient at produ...
