2003 SUBARU WRX WAGON BASHBAR CRACKED

I sanded all the rust out, removed the remaining adhesive, degreased and sealed them in primer. I found a little bit of rust, but nothing that really penetrated the metal. Since the last update, I was able to finish removing all of the sound deadening from both front fender wells. We'll see how much of that sinking stomach feeling I have before final re-assembly.įeel free to shoot me a PM if you want to discuss it more - I'm familiar with your build and happy to exchange ideas and experiences. I don't buy it.Īs has happened with other parts of the build, I may at some point here offload the Speedfactory parts and move on. I addressed it a couple of times and was 'reassured' that the slip fitting on the up pipe would be flexible enough to withstand flex remaining with the solid motor mounts. The brace to the frame rail is a legitimate concern of mine. Without blasting them here, I'll say that by the time I got my car back, my patience was really tested and I was happy to have it done and over with. Based on my experience, that's not going to be happening. I had originally planned to have them fabricate the cold side of the system too. Truthfully, my experience at Speedfactory was severely underwhelming. Part of the reason I post here is so the community at large can give me input on what I'm working on. Turbo kit looks well fab'd but with some odd design choices.ĭon't worry about it coming across as nit-picking.

Is that correct? Do you have solid motor mounts? That seems like a recipe for a cracked uppipe or header when the motor moves around (and along with it the header/uppipe/turbo) and the chassis is not moving. Also just noticed that it looks like you have a brace going from the uppipe to the chassis.
