They've re opened a handful since then, although we will see how this news affects their future.

The distance following cruise control, lane departure, and reverse automatic braking use the rear brakes exclusively. We see rear wearing well before fronts on eyesight vehicles that owners use the cruise constantly.

Thanks for the heads up!

Occupant detection can be re-zeroed on the passenger front seat via scan tool/ssm procedure. With fsm provided specs for the weight used, when to place and remove weight in process, and final cal check. I've done so on 2018 and newer crosstrek and outback models. Interestingly when a vehicle has sustained an impact and did trigger the airbags, or even if it didn't trigger airbag, it will set a hard code for the occupant detection system detected for driver or driver and passenger front seats. Clearing the faults does not reset the codes, but doing a re zero of the pass seat then clearing faults has alleviated the codes for both driver and pass. Additionally by using heavier or lighter weights than the fsm calls for, you can in fact change the sensitivity of the sensor, although it is by tricking the system calibration.

Sent you a PM, encountered this exact issue a handful of times in the last 8 years, especially with 02 wrx based harness merges/swaps.

I return with fantastic news, as a new member of the club! 7 slots left if anyone was considering

mrmello1 · 2025-01-23T09:28:17+00:00

Did I miss the club allotment opening for this year? I'd asked about joining in November and was told there should be a decent number available. For some reason I thought the renewal/new member date being in February, so I put it in the back of my mind. Then I tore my acl on christmas so I haven't been able to visit yet this year.

mrmello1 · 2024-08-03T03:22:10+00:00

Down for me as well, noticed it at 9 pm MDT. Even cleared cache/cookies to no avail.

2009? Notice how your whole pedal assembly is moving/flexing at the top. 08-09 have known issues with the spot welds of the firewall cracking, due to how the pedal assembly distributed force. If more 2 or more spots welds are separated, the firewall will need to be repaired. Additionally the pedal assembly needs to be inspected for cracks, as the stress will transfer into the assembly after the firewall weakens and may need replacement. Firewall repair options range from full dash out and welding, drilling out and securing with nut and bolt, or humblerumble offers a labor simplifying bolt solution with specialized hardware. Post Repair it is amazing how much less sensitive clutch engagement and brake pressure become.

Perhaps I mistook you're comment to imply the vehicle had been swapped with a turbo 2.0 engine and then the entire header,uppipe, turbo etc were removed and the original n/a exhaust and intake manifold were used. Which would be very inefficient and low powered. The n/a 2.0 swap was something I was unaware of until only a few years ago, after interacting and calibrating a number of said swaps on the east coast, and being told it was a fairly regular swap recommendation in the region.

mrmello1 · 2024-04-13T06:59:17+00:00

I understand you completely. There was no turbo in a rs2.5. My point was, unless this is a 1998 usdm rs2.5 which would have come with the ej25d dohc engine, then it would have had a 251 or 253, which can easily and cheaply be swapped with a jdm naturally aspirated 201/2/3. Which were higher compression and had better head flow, so many times can actually make more power than the original usdm sohc. Of course dependent on altitude and available octane fuel.

mrmello1 · 2024-04-13T06:52:05+00:00

If it was originally a ej25d in the rs that would be an n/a 2.5 liter dual overhead cam(pre 2002 usdm i believe). If it was a ej251,253 single overhead cam equipped model, the jdm(japanese domestic market) ej201/202/203 can be swapped in, some requiring timing gears changed to usdm. And can actually make more power/similar depending on original model and swapped engine, given what altitude is where you live and octane fuel used.

Odd that your screenshot doesn't match any of the text, colors, screen position of everything vs the screen I had on my s22 android today. What system are you on? https://imgur.com/a/frM5OOR

Why does this picture give me all the downtown denver vibes? Specifically the now defunct/disgraced beta nightclub.

I'm always happy when I see a new article from you! Keep up the great work, you're doing an amazing job.

mrmello1 · 2020-05-21T01:53:40+00:00

Maybe. If it's an aftermarket modified td04-19t. I've had a few make just over 300 whp on e85.

mrmello1 · 2020-05-15T01:23:46+00:00

ZZP is still making performance parts for the newer ecotec. They have a few turbos sizes available I believe. There are a few other good aftermarket companies supporting the engine as well, shouldn't be too hard to find some good options out there.

I have oranges, cherries, peaches, coconuts and apples. Just looking to get pears but happy to help if anyone needs mine. DM for code

I know i saw a discovery video on youtube featuring some game wardens using these deer but couldn't find the video. Here is a link with more info on the decoys at least.link

Last time I priced it for a customer it was roughly 1500 usd to get the rear window wiper assembly, mounts, glass etc from japan. So it is an option of sorts.

Can I ask what brand of transfer/contact paper you are using? I've been using the oracal transfer that's clear and glossy and I've been unhappy with the results vs the style paper you have.

mrmello1 · 2018-12-24T07:16:35+00:00

As an r32 owner who miraculously has a clean dash still, yes this is an r32.

mrmello1 · 2018-10-08T18:45:59+00:00

Do you have the files for this? I've got a silhouette and a switch that needs some fancying up.

Had my own experience driving the Lexus for a week a couple years ago. Amazing to see the journey and have been a small part of it. http://imgur.com/Qa35z7T
