    Will is awesome. He got the motor out of my car today 42 minutes after pulling it into the bay. Fixed a couple things, had something else pop up that I fucked up on (oops) :rofl: and got that fixed in about 25 minutes.

    What we did today:

    New STi head gaskets
    new passenger front axle
    new clutch/spec pressure plate (I'm not a fan of the plate right now, but getting used to it
    new clutch master cylinder
    Motul ERL change

    what he's done before:

    MY05 STi steering wheel
    upgraded speakers
    and many more things I can't think of at the moment :rofl:

    Thanks again will for helping me out!!!

    Very nice. Improved ride? I put my jdm seat in today, not quite the height of fashion but your arse stays as tight as a meeting with Elton John.

    Them thar head gaskets were leaking. So we did away with those AA632 POS head gaskets and installed the AA642's as found on all the 2.5 Turbo engines. They are teh b0mb!!!!

    The pressure plate...is a Spec unit...and it sucks. I'm sure it actually feels weaker than stock on the pedal. But the disc had only 1,000 miles on it, an ACT stage something organic. The plate had 700 miles on it.

    Instead of spending $10 more in head gaskets, they decided to spend hundreds of thousands more in coming out with the cooling system conditioner, the campaign on it, and all of the THOUSANDS of warranty leaky head gasket jobs.

    it does make for good CP work, as ALWAYS within 50k~70k miles later...they leak and need replacement....no matter if you use the conditioner or not.

    Sometimes I've seen the conditioner make the leak worse....aka 2pt5's car.

    yeah...we did the conditioner back in May....it made it worse.

    and the motor has 52k on it....

    It's hinting that it wants to be swapped mate. Just sell a kidney and ALOT of sperm and you'll be there. Make sure you dye your hair black though.
