ytsohptwhere · 02-20-2008, 11:19 AM

I will go ahead and take some pics of the engine in a few and post them. When the accident happened I hadnt even made a single payment on it yet.

ytsohptwhere · 02-20-2008, 11:55 AM

Here are 2 pics of the engine. One front and one from the passenger side.

wrxtunerd · 02-20-2008, 12:03 PM

you've got some coilovers, but i'm not sure what kind they are. and obviously a strut bar (idk the brand)

and you've got mesh over your intercooler... if you don't "need" it then it would look sick if you took it off and detailed the engine bay

importfanatic17 · 02-20-2008, 01:01 PM

Yeah, the strut brace looks to be an eBay "STi" wannabe. Strut bars don't really do anything so you could either sell it or keep it. And I don't recognize the suspension either so perhaps eBay again? If I were you, I would keep the mesh on the tmic so that your fins don't get bent by debris that goes in the hood scoop. But yeah, clean your engine bay.

ytsohptwhere · 02-20-2008, 02:04 PM

From what I remember from the previous owner was the springs on the suspension are "Pink STi" They are pink in color and other than that I have no clue! This is a huge learning experience for me as well! The strut bar in the engine i guess helped him in his AutoX racing.

importfanatic17 · 02-20-2008, 02:05 PM

STi pinks are good springs. What plates are those then?

ytsohptwhere · 02-20-2008, 02:09 PM

Can you please explain what you mean by "Plates"?

importfanatic17 · 02-20-2008, 02:10 PM

The gold things next to your strut bar are called camber plates. I was wondering what brand they were.

ytsohptwhere · 02-20-2008, 02:11 PM

I am at work right now so I could not tell you. When I get off at 5 I will go and take a look.

importfanatic17 · 02-20-2008, 02:12 PM

Cool, just trying to help you out. If you can snap some pics of the underside of the car, we could let you know if you have any other mods (i.e. swaybars, etc.) as it seems as though the previous owner was suspension oriented.

ytsohptwhere · 02-20-2008, 02:17 PM

I will try and snap some pics of the underside of it. I really cannot jack it up on anything yet. Haven't had the money to buy a good floor jack and some jack stands. I will try how ever! Thanks for all the help!

**tyler_sti** · 02-20-2008, 02:22 PM

Those camber plates are somewhere on the vendor for sale classifieds. I was looking but couldn't find them. However I do know their awsome for camber adjustment, and make it a breeze for you're local alignment shop to get some camber. To my knoledge thats an ebay strut bar, usefull for a tracked or auto-x car. And I wouldn't remove the mesh over the intercooler because it's VERY usefull. Prevent's bent fins and debri from stricking the intercooler's delicate fins. The car was tastefully modded IMO. Who ever owned it new what they needed and used nothing extra or stupid. Looks like you got you're self a nice ride. Read the fourms ALOT, and take car of you're beast. Drive safe and take care!

ytsohptwhere · 02-20-2008, 02:25 PM

Thanks! He did add a lot of decals to it that I removed because to me they looked ridiculous.
