Big looking garage! Lots of space to work and that lift is going to make everything SO MUCH easier. Happy for you relocating here. Can't wait to see the WRX running. Yeah man, even with new gaskets, I always apply a bit of Honda bond in certain places of the Subie valve covers, my engines have NEVER leaked there afterwards. It would be great if TH-cam would allow posting pics in the comment section.
Thats exactly what I ended up doing. Pulled both valve covers and put a bead of fuji bond around the entire perimeter instead of just the spots shown in the FSM. Hopefully that takes care of it as I hate oil leaks.
Hey for the fuel lines coming out of the fire wall I used a 5/16 AN compression fitting. Just cut the barb out with a mini tube cutter. I have not had any issues at all with it. No leaks at all and I used the evil energy brand from Amazon. It looks 100% more cleaner than using clamps and regular rubber hose.
damn yo that shop and lift are sick! that's awesome dude. was that driver fender always white? i can't even remember haha. again, dude, sick setup. i'm jealous. get yerself a lobstah roll!
No the driver fender was blue. It was bent and didn't have the JDM side marker so I mixed and matched with the JDM fender I had on my older WRX. Lobstah rolls are way to good!
Question, why not put your oil temp sensor in the sump? I see you have the IAG pan and it has built in provisions for a temp sensor, and from what I've always seen the sump is the best place to monitor oil temp.
Ah, yeah I definitely could have and may still move it to that location. The reason I didn’t initially is that the spot for it is on the opposite side of the pan from the side I routed my wiring into the engine bay through the firewall. Unfortunately the length of the oil temp wire was a bit short. I will need to route it through the drivers side firewall to have the right length which I probably will do now that I know it’s the best place to monitor oil temp. Thanks for the advice though! It’s always much appreciated.
Yep yep. I love watching your vids. I have the same pan and gauge and ran mine directly up by the motor mount and up to the back of driver head corner where the cam sensor would be then under the brake servo. Keep it up man it's awesome to see someone doing the same things I do in my own garage. EDIT just realized I have a different yt account on my phone, I'm also arszenki that asked this question ha.
Hey, i bought the 03 wrx you sold to adrian, i would love to get in to contact and talk a little about the car. Adrian doesn't have the answers to some of the questions i have. Thanks
I honestly don’t know much about that car anymore. It’s been so long since I built that one and I’ve done several other builds since so it’s hard to keep track. I do remember it was a hybrid engine build with a rebuilt 5 speed that had a busted shifter u joint. I offered to fix it as well as a few other things in addition to painting the car but he declined and chose to buy it “as is.” I have no idea what he’s done to it since as I haven’t talked to him for close to 2 years or so.

Congrats on the move! Hoping to get to see your builds someday!
Thank you! It’s been quite the change! I seem to remember you mentioning that you live in New England? Or am I confusing you with someone else?
@@sleeper_motorsport Yes, that was me, I live in vermont
Welcome to the Northeast. I'm in Western Massachusetts. I use kinetic for tuning, they're in NH

I have seen people use those compression fittings. I'm just not ready to cut my oem hard lines yet.
@@sleeper_motorsport ahh I see. That’s understandable tho. What ended up happening to the bomba throttle body?
From where did you source a brand new OEM engine harness for an EJ207?
Its an OEM harness for an EJ205. I added on what was missing with the iwire dccd and avcs wiring. Found it from a random Subaru dealer in Connecticut.

So what’s the situation with the shop? Will you be going to your own garage at your new house in future?
Definitely will be moving to my own shop in the future.

Let’s get it! Still need to break in my engine so can’t drive it hard yet, but down to hang any time!
