07 STI Limited UGM #65

hnoes: The vultures are circling!!

 

if we have long enough and have enough help we can swap an entire impreza L drivetrain in that bad boy and put your junk in mine. then get my car towed back here to get buttoned up.........


just a thought

 

How much time do you need?

The stealership quoted a shortblock replacement as well as new valves.

 

ha, a full swap will take a few days. just to put everything in and out if they are totalling it, if we had enough people we could probly bust in a full day

but if the engine is toast, its probly not worth it.

but if the tranny is ok then that would definitely be worth a days worth of busting ass

 

Where are the subaru rally techs when you need them? 30 minutes?

 

Tranny shouldn't take a day. I figure an hour if the poeple wrenching are knowledgable.

 

took us 4 hrs just to do a regular 5 speed swap on jasons with nothing but air tools. This would be a full tranny/hub/brake/parking brake/wheel swap. With no air tools on uncomfortable rocks. Not to mention the fact that it's also an auto to manual swap and I've never done one of those. I'm definitely ready to do it. But we have to have a full day lots of help and air tools if we can. And I'd need some wheels to borrow/have. I don't have any 5x114s laying around

 

this is also IF the car is totalled. We'd need enough help to have people working on both cars at the same time as well as a couple people just focusing on removing the items you plan to sell and putting stock parts on in their place. And I also am assuming that one or more of your hubs/knuckles/axles is bad and would have to buy a reman axle and/or find away to make the hubs/knuckle work.

And I wouldn't do it without the king to help. Since he recently did his tranny swap he would know what sensors, etc. we will need for speed etc.

He works during the weeks. I can make this Saturday work for me and if you give me the go ahead I can throw some people together

 

LOL...Imagine the poor bastard that thinks he is buying a wrecked STI and finds a L swap.

 

well the engine is bad. so im just looking to accomplish the tranny/brake and accompanying parts.

so the poor bastard would just be getting a working L tranny. with a blown motor.

Wow man, just saw this.

So sorry. How old is your brother?

 

30
We've both been to the track a lot. It could have happened to anyone.

Hey 2thache I'm glad we had that mountain run a few weeks back. That was the first and only time I
was able to open it up. (of course in short bursts )

 

"It could have happened to anyone".
TRUTH!

 

what did you find out from the insurance company as far as working on the car?

 

Jake your speaking crazy talk man lol.

The best way to do it...

Pull everything out of your car in your garage. Load it up in a truck, go pull everything off of the Sti and put your stuff in it, throw everything in the truck and take it back to your garage to put on your car.

There is no way in hell you will be able to swap the hub/brakes/tranny in the junkyard parking lot and drive home.

The more people you have the worse it is

 

Nothing yet.

 

Sorry to hear about your wreck. It looks like a monster!

Dont forget to uninstall the AP as soon as you find out it is totaled. I am going to say it is totaled if it needs a new motor

 

Any word?

 

The car is totaled. I'm working out the details with
the shop. Perhaps I can tow it to my shop nearby - swap parts and bring
it back to them after a weekend.

 

I just talked to the shop. They can't release the vehicle unless the insurance company or someone pays them for the towage and storage - no problem. However they are really laid back. They're going to allow me to go in and swap parts back to stock on saturday 9am-12pm. (they close at noon)
I'm going to compile a list of items that I'll be selling and post it here.
If anyone's interesting helping this saturday let me know

top mount is gone. siegel bought it when I went FMIC

 

Yes, WRX TMIC thats going in the wreck when I take out the FMIC

 

You think they'd let you swap some gold brembo's for yours in the front? I just bought some gold ones that are not on my car yet that I was going to prep and paint but if I could swap them for yours and it'd save me a lot of effort and time. Let me know, I'd be willing to throw you a couple cases of beer or something for it.

 

The real question is whether they'll let you swap some wrx brakes on there

Siegel

 

shit! Tereance wants me to drive him to pick up his new car on Saturday. I need parts off this car! Where is the car located. Maybe we can swing by before we leave town Saturday morning and do a few things. If you prefer to pm me the location that's cool. Also find out if there is a buyback on the whole car or if they are going to auction it off.


Thanks!!

 

part list

Ok everybody...

This saturday between 9am to 12pm I'm going to the body show to pull
aftermarket parts and possibly some stock parts. If anyone is
interested in helping swap some of these part on saturday let me know

to allow me to do this anyways).

No last minute crashers - please contact me ahead of time - email 4sevens@gmail.com

I'm interested in the steering wheel since u said the airbags didn't deploy. I can put my stocker on to swap it out and I figure we can do that rather quickly in the morning. Where is the car at??

 

Sent you a PM this morning about the AP.

 

i will be there, but where is there?

where is the car?

 

just a heads up 4seven, sent you an email

 

PM replied matt

 

I've updated the list here with dibs
http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pvo7AXIYFrKc0ARkAPWu0aA

If you make on offer, make sure you have a link to a comparable
sale If it's lower than 80% of the comp, it's likely I won't accept it

I've got storage space and can sell parts slowly

 

bump - more updated to spreadsheet

 

you wouldn't happen to have an oil catch can would you? Dibs if u do.

 

nope

 

Not sure if it's at the same shop as when I saw your car 2 weeks ago, but sorry for the loss. As for the inter cooler, it only looked to be damaged on the cast part. Some good prep work of the cracks and TIG it back together is all it would need. If somebody wants to take it on and needs a welder let me know.
Damn shame, it was a sharp ride

 

autoglo?

yeah it's sad. Yes the intercooler is salvageable. The fins are fine.

 

Thought it was the same car. just went back through the first pages with pics. It's not the fins I was worried about, it was where the cast part is broken at. Plenty of meat left on the bone per say to TIG it back together without the heat trashing anything. It would be a problem if the thin gauge had a rip in it plus the cracks in the cast end. With a little time, it wouldn't take much to fix it like new.

Thanks for coming out to help. It was great meeting you all

 

List updated. Items not available are striked (stuck) out.

What a sad day.

 

Do you have a pic of the front lip? possible dibs
