WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY? - Page 719 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Didn't do jack! However, I did a complete detail on my co-worker's WRX as he's relo'd from California to Wisconsin and I'm just a nice guy. Even put his winter shoes back on that have been sitting in my basement since he left in April. Mmmmmm.....I could get used to two of these in the garage together.

Just went to see the WTF-86 today. A +600hp Twincharged mad piece of art. Awesome thing

I replaced my bad wheel hub bearing with a used unit bought off eBay (from a wrecked FRS).
The vibration and humming/droning sound I picked up from a track day is now gone. She runs like she did on the first day!

Had a couple of "Oh sh*t" moments though - at first, the hub wouldn't come off because it was rusted on (had to hammer it out).
Then the new one didn't wanna go in... Rust again - Canadian winters....
Well worth it though!

Hat tip to @Dave-ROR for the help!

I replaced all the bearings/hubs in my '06 Legacy and they were rusted on so bad no amount of hammering, PB Blaster, or torch would get them out. I ended up having to buy new steering knuckles for the fronts.

I ended up taking a hammer to the old bearing... Aim it at the back of the hub (the rotating part with the studs). That said, I also soaked it in PB blaster.

Ah jeez... Didn't see you tried the hammer... That sucks... Do you live somewhere with proper winters?

Just put an order for my Sti front lip and side skirts straight from Subaru (got it for cost) but it won't be in until December 10th

The wait begins.

Got tired of burning oil type smells, looked under hood, and oh...well would you look at that cam plate is leaking. Guess I'll be needing to fix that, don't really want to take it to the dealer.

B-R-Z · 11-13-2014, 11:38 PM

Ordered Blizzak LM-32 snows to go on my stockers. Need to find a place and schedule powder coating for my summer wheels.

You could buy those raceseng cam plates and not worry about oil leaks and smells instead of wasting time going to the dealer
