Do yourself a huge favor and don't try to rush job your diagnosis/repairs just to make a car meet. Car pool to it if you can't stand missing it but a meet isn't worth a blown engine.

It's not rocket science but it does require a steady hand with both drill and tap. Stocky, if you're going to try it, I suggest practicing with a hunk of aluminum first.

I hope to have my wife's car finished tonight. @Jonesy86 is up next. He expects to get his parts tomorrow.

For Subaru specific, there is also Horizontal Motorsports
http://horizontalmotorsports.com/
But again, this job doesn't really require a specialist shop.

My trust was misplaced with VIP, atleast in his ability as a tuner.

As far as Superior Soobie goes, Rick's the only guy who has worked on all my cars in the last 4 years.

I stuck my Dwalt drill down in the area to see if I can even get it completely lined up if I were to do the Helicoil myself and it's not quite possible. If someone else does it they will either need to take the supercharger off or have a drill that goes from the side. I'm to the point where if the supercharger does need to come off, may as well return it to stock and sell it after fixing the bolt hole of course.

I still need to pickup the o-ring seal for the injector tomorrow after 10am. If only I had the week off work!

Doesn't solve the fact that I don't have a vehicle currently though. Taking public transport sucks ass and takes over an hour to get to work. I guess I could rent a car but that costs $$.

Sold it to pay off my debt quicker. I should have debt (not BRZ) paid off end of the year. After that I'll look into possibly getting another one.

I have a right-angle adapter chuck. I'll take a close look at Matt's tomorrow to see if it's feasible on the car. Which one is it, front or rear?
