**While doing the oil change a while ago, i re-torqued the LH and RH motor mounts and they are really loose! (This was mentioned i think in the GR forums about motor mount needs re-tightening). Tighten the bolts to 40 lb-ft. After the service noticed reduced low speed driving clunk in the front suspension area..I'm glad i checked this one..woot!
:tup::tup:Yep I saw that too! 1.8 quicker than the R...Nice!! I was gettin really tired of those idiot reviews like Matt Farrah's LOL..(lose 500lbs then tell us it's slow!)
What do you think of the quality of the STI sports oil filter over the Black Tokyo Roki Filter. I know you cant really tell by just looking at it but was wondering your initial impression. I cant find specs on it. Same size, internals look better? Also I noticed you have the STI coolant cap(1.3 bar) on the coolant resevoir. Any problems noticed with this as the original cap is supposed to be lower pressure(1.1 bar) than the radiator cap(1.3 bar) to allow the venting and recirculation to the turbo charger to effectively work after shutdown. If you shut the car off hot and listening to the turbo area you should hear the coolant sloshing around?

I have two STi radiator caps one in the turbo reservoir and one in the radiator, performs ok to me and no issues. I dont hear any sound on my radiator/turbo area after shuting off the engine.
Gloss black it looks like? I am looking at the side badges from subispeed for my WRB. I was torn between gloss and flat black, both with red lettering. Leaning towards matt black but still not sure. Looks good.

Thanks! It is gloss black, matt black looks good too with red sti letters. I was suppose to get the oe badge from the hyper blue series today, i only got a part number but not yet available in my local subie parts store.
Thanks for the tip on the coin box. Mine arrived today.
