Just installed these sweet aero catch latches on the hood of our rally car and mid-way through our first rally with them they started jamming in the open position.

A little google-ing shows I'm not the only one. Pissed I didn't hear about this first, though it seems to be love or hate on the different posts. Looks like some special grease may help.

They (aerocatch) were also hit by a bunch of counterfeits, so check before you buy, there are pictures on their web that show the differences. ]]> Stage Rally Preparation spiwrx http://www.dirtyimpreza.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25772 FS (USA/WI): MRT 12lbs wrx flywheel http://www.dirtyimpreza.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25771&goto=newpost Wed, 16 May 2012 23:41:14 GMT 12lbs 02 wrx flywheel by MRT which no longer makes this flywheel. 125 shipped made from what seems to be chrome moly, definitely not aluminum... 12lbs 02 wrx flywheel by MRT which no longer makes this flywheel.

Mud flaps and whatever else I've forgotten.




Get ready to vomit


So I had it towed home and got it running, got some std struts and ripped the coil overs off and sold them.

I went to the importer and discussed buying the r/h side of a hatch he had sitting there and lined it up with the panel beater, after looking at the car and the donor I was going to buy it was decided to do a complete rear cut from the A pillars back, just as easy & in the end a **** load better as I ended up with a mint 97 V3 STI body and interior for $1,200, I sold at least $2,000 worth of stuff out of (it had been left as a bit of a storage bin lol).

So after paying $2,500 to have the entire rear welded on.... complete r/h A pillar and cut through the l/h A pillar and sill and sill retaining the floor pan for legality + putting the new radiator support on from a 98 stat write off that I bought as another parts car I had it towed back to my ex gf's place as it was easier to work on there (unfortunately no pics of that car but it was bent in half so badly the center console was pushing the drivers seat out of the door and l/h seat was 6" wide when I took it out...)YUK. I paid 3k for that one at auction but the owner had just spent a fortune on handling mods, computer etc so I made more money than I paid selling on the parts and kept the bits I needed.

This is the V3 front cut I bought for my Liberty but you can see the rear of the blue wagon donor up on the top r/h shelf.

Had my connector melt itself to the TGV sensor that is by the turbo and even with great care trying to remove the part of the sensor that broke off and was still in the connector, the connector itself started to plain fall apart. with this the pins for the wiring on my harness are fine, but the plastic surround of the connector is in pieces, so if you have a cut up harness or deleted your TGV's and can spare a connector, it would be greatly appreciated if you could pm me.

Leading to almost no intake pressure and subsequently stalling the engine.

Just wondering if this is a common problem, would love to go to a silicone hose, but PGT rules are suggesting must be stock.

Any input or anything else we should look at before we slap this back together would be appreciated. Was suggested by another a blocked waste gate line caused a similar failure for her, after a simple vacuum T melted leading to an overboost.

This might be unrecognized damage from our rollover in our last race, but the car was checked & dyno'd before, road tested and all seemed well.

Progressively we lost power from stage to stage until the more abrupt failure mid SS6. So I', assuming a smaller hole, crack etc, finally gave way.

Previous plans to go to cal city kind of got put to the wayside, but I need to get a good day or two for testing THIS MONTH to help prepare for mendocino in early august.

Right now we're looking at June 15-17.

The plan is to trailer out friday night and run as long as people want to and then head home sunday. Maybe set up a few cones out on the dry lake bed to work on some car control.

It'd be nice if we could get a good group together and get out there before it gets any hotter.
