You can have them if:

You bring me a bottle of scotch , AND
You remove the Eibach front springs from the OEM struts and reinstall my OEM springs onto the struts (here's a DIY http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10842)

If I can find the crash bolts, you can have those as well (not sure if they can be used more than once).

Crash bolts should be fine to use again.
Can install /uninstall these at the shop, maybe we can do a tech night or day.

Did some research on here and I found a thread where a guy got his whole transmission replaced for the issue, and Subaru acknowledges that there's a problem with this and have changed a few.

I have a hook up at a Subaru dealer in MTL. A car aquintance is a service advisor. Spoke to him and he told me to bring it in and he'll do what he can for me.

Never fast enough, lol..

On a positive note, I'm looking into a distributor that carries the following Twins-friendly brands:

Eibach
Greddy
Kraftwerks
Koyo
KW Suspension
Mishimoto
Perrin
Sparco
Stoptech
Tein
Whiteline
Volks and Rays wheels

among many other brands

Can you say FR-S test car?

@normancw, @Pbrown, @Chico and anyone else who might be interested.

I heard back from the coating guys and he said it would be around $250 to do a header. He also said that if we could get multiples that he could probably do better.

So, now all I have to do is order a header and get it delivered without triggering the wife alarm.

Thanks for the info. I'll will be having that conversation with my wife the second week of January as I hope to have the header by end of April. Perhaps we can revisit this in January to see when and who are all ordering headers to maybe take advantage of a group ceramic coating.

Hi Guys,
My former office is selling 7" Galaxy Tablets, Gen1.
$75 each, we have a bunch!

These are new but without boxes, comes with charger and cord. Most of them still have the plastic wrap on the back of the unit.

I have one of my own, they work great. Runs on Android 2.2 but can be upgraded to 2.3 using Samsung Kies, easy.

Looks like this:

Not from that distributor but may go direct for that.

@HeadBanger Is MontrealRacing trying to be a news source, now? Their content is about as relevant as TVA Nouvelles.

Couldn't tell you.
It's that time of year when it slows down, so anything to bring in traffic I guess.

Who's found some good black friday car stuff?

What bushings do I need to reduce wheel hop? Thinking of engine mounts, flex fuel kit, 5mill spacers for the front and possibly a big brake kit for my self absorbed Christmas list
