1993 Subaru Impreza Power Steering Pump Rebuild

by on Jan.16, 2011, under Installs

Subaru power steering pumps always seem to leak after a few years. On my original Impreza I just let it leak until it got so bad I replaced the pump. If I knew I could fix it for $20, I probably would not have picked up that used replacement.

Honda Element SC Rear Bumper Replacement Part 2

by on Aug.02, 2010, under Body, Installs

In Part 1 of this 2 part series we removed the bumper cover, the crash bar and the beam. Now it’s time to re-center the tailgate and put everything back together.

RSLRA Turbo Relocation April 2008

by on Feb.07, 2010, under Engine



Finally a chance to build something using melted steel. Not sure what it is about basic fabrication work, but it’s almost always a good time. Add to that, I haven’t actually made anything in a while so it’s nice to keep the skills fresh.

The project started by loading up my welder, 4.5” angle grinder, electric die grinder, wire brush, gloves, welding helmet, porting bits and a few other misc fabrication tools into the Skittle and headed off to James for some work on his Beastly rear wheel drive Impreza.

by on Jan.27, 2010, under Drivetrain, Engine

Generally, this would come before round 2, but that doesn’t always work out. At any rate, here are the pictures from filling the transmission mount.
