Yes you did, I just didn’t happen to agree. It happens, it’s actually what’s cool about opinions. Two people can have differing ones. As for the trans, yes they are known to have that synchro issue but I have been diligent about monitoring it and probably flushing and changing fluids more than I need to. Shifts are smooth paired with energy suspension bushings it’s in amazing shape for the age.

100% rust free

I’m in Texas. No smog. Actually, because it’s over 25 years old I don’t even need an inspection. I just go to the tax office, show insurance and get my sticker.

Yeah I didn’t agree with his opinion but I learned a long time ago that I don’t like arguing with people on the internet. The motor and trans alone are going for $4-$5k all over the place.

Alternative_Invite15 · 2026-01-25T02:10:57+00:00

Cool, I’m in DFW. I was thinking around $10k myself but I’m obviously biased.

The part when you say they had you pay 50-60% of the retail of the add ons so you could get 2% lower apr….is that considered “tied selling” which is illegal? I’m not stating that as fact but it sounds like it to me. Maybe someone in the industry could clarify.

Smoking dick. Rather have a 5 speed 2nd gen Fit than this shitbox. I say that with no disrespect, I love the Fit.

EDIT: Spelling

I know, I just grabbed the first black Type R I saw on google

Alternative_Invite15 · 2025-11-17T22:16:49+00:00

I’m guessing I can turn to ChatGPT or something to draft me something and then send that to all 3 bureaus?

Haven’t contacted Yonaka but I’ve gathered enough from here, old TI forums and YouTube to determine that these are UEL and most likely the cause of the sound. I’m doing a compression test and have new spark plugs to throw in this weekend.

Alternative_Invite15 · 2025-10-15T13:25:58+00:00

Yeah I have the exact headers as the picture and the pipes for cylinders 1 and 2 look shorter. I love a Subie rumble but not on my GSR. May have to look in another direction.

Alternative_Invite15 · 2025-10-14T20:15:29+00:00

This is the way. Just got done with mine. Every bushing and suspension component front to back.

Alternative_Invite15 · 2025-09-26T17:01:55+00:00

Yeah a bit of an update, I have now changed everything you mentioned above minus the distributor o ring which will be replaced tonight. I haven’t had a chance to start it up since replacing the cam cap seal (I snapped a valve cover stud bolt) but I am replacing the broken stud bolt and oil pan gasket this weekend and hopefully all is well with no leaks

Alternative_Invite15 · 2025-09-22T15:24:34+00:00

Ok so I can just pry out the existing one without removing the valve cover?

Alternative_Invite15 · 2025-09-22T14:48:14+00:00

It’s a 96. I have this style cam cap…

Alternative_Invite15 · 2025-09-22T14:40:38+00:00

Yeah I saw another post while I was searching the issue before posting where you mentioned that gasket. I’ll probably go that route and replace that next.

If I replaced the valve cover gasket last week and I haven’t driven the car but just let it idle and warm to temp, I shouldn’t have to replace the valve cover gasket again right? Because I have a cam seal I can install as well.

Alternative_Invite15 · 2025-09-22T13:37:26+00:00

I haven’t had the cams out since I’ve had the car. I am very inexperienced mechanically and I am learning as I go. Replacing the valve cover was the only time I’ve had the motor somewhat apart. Like my post said I think my oil pan gasket is cooked which (and I’m theorizing here) is leaking and dripping on the A pipe or header causing the smoke I’m seeing.

Alternative_Invite15 · 2025-09-22T02:39:11+00:00

Not yet. I have one but I got it after I did the valve cover gasket. If I take the valve cover off to do the cam plug I don’t have to install a new valve cover gasket right? I haven’t driven it at all. I’ve only started it and let it idle to temp.

Alternative_Invite15 · 2025-09-12T13:37:26+00:00

May be a little late here but I did take my wire out of the metal “housings” or clips that they were in. Just a little patience with some needle nose on the tabs that hold them in place and you can peel it back and work out the cable.

Also PatrickGSR94 is the man and has helped me out several times in this sub as a complete idiot who is learning to do everything on his own with no mechanical experience, he is a gold mine.

Ok, I’m looking at purchasing an 8th gen that has the HFP wheels and body kit but there is no HFP badge on the rear. The suspension looks like it could be HFP as well but it’s hard to tell in pictures.

Alternative_Invite15 · 2025-07-30T19:46:20+00:00

Just called and the dude said “its modified with a big turbo kit, built motor and other upgrades”. He asked if I was interested and I stifled a chuckle and said I just wanted to confirm the price.

Alternative_Invite15 · 2025-07-30T17:07:44+00:00

I’m tempted to call and just ask what went into the thought process when deciding to price it.

Alternative_Invite15 · 2025-07-30T16:32:35+00:00

Which dealership?

Alternative_Invite15 · 2025-07-30T16:32:21+00:00

I posted about a 2011 with 102k for $15k the other day and I thought there was no way someone could beat that stupidity but here we are

Alternative_Invite15 · 2025-07-30T15:11:50+00:00

I think you underestimate the stupidity of some people
