Removed the clutch dampening device.

StreetKA

iTrader: (8)

CDD is removed SS clutch line installed and new slave cylinder with check valve is removed... WOW what a differance...

tomorrow is my plan to do ss brake lines as well as for brakes i think i will stick with stock for now or get legend calipers later on... EBC rotors and redstuff pads will be ordered soon

but yeah it makes the clutch pedal seem so smooth and soft....

StreetKA

iTrader: (8)

for me the feel is better its still soft but at least it grabs instantly

i need to do the ss line. I replaced my slave cylinder and modded it a while back and completely flushed the lines and it made it feel better, but the pedal didnt change much..i hear it will when a do the ss line...gonna do that and the aluminum shifter bushings too

btw i did it on the wife's subie also (checkvalve is under a bolt, in the slave, so just a matter of unscrew it, pulling it out, and putting it back in lol), but anyways with the AWD system, yeah you could not even launch the car without the clutch slipping bad, and now the clutch will actually GRAB, and you can break all 4 tires loose
and it's an advantage to be able to break all 4 tires loose too, cause it lets you keep the engine from bogging off the line (if they grip too well, it bogs)

hmm.. I can't really see the color differenes on headlight housing. colse up pics? Do you like it better than original?

StreetKA

iTrader: (8)

The hardest part on CDD was the get those lines loose.
As for headlight they look much better now paint matches body color butni cant decide what to with bulbs. I ordered chrome bulb that came are not the same xx56 instead xx57 so i had to put stock ones for now. I was thining to get switchbacks but we will see.

GL on the timing belt change and valve adjustment..im gonna have someone do it for me, cause i never have enough time to do it myself....

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

first of all, you should not be pulling that pin out, UNLESS the belt is already off, and btw it's called a key, and it goes in the keyway

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

also for getting EVERYTHING lined back up without damage.....

best way is pull out all the plugs, and get all the pistons to be somewhere in midtravel, or at the bottom of the bore, basically so there is no chance of the valves touching

as far as getting the crank back up, remember it only spins half the speed of the cams, and basically just turn it VERY SLOW, and if you feel anything other then a smooth resistence STOP, and reassess (it can turn into a lot more work quite quickly)


fyi, you know the timing marks on subies actually place the pistons midtravel to minimize potential damage from contact...

StreetKA

iTrader: (8)

i start to put parts back together but i will finish tomorrow... not sure if should i do valve adjustment or no... it think i will leave it this way keep ur fingers crossed

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

normally not absolutely mandatory, but always a good idea to check though, especially to keep from burning an exhaust valve if too tight

StreetKA

iTrader: (8)

so i finished... timing belt done new water pump tensioner adjuster new coolant new poly filled side mount valve adjustment done, valves were on a bit loose and right now its so much better its quite... i think there something else that i fogot... monday i will change tranny mount and check the rest of the mount again ohh and valve are covers painted now

StreetKA

Good job on the timing belt change, you should feel proud for completing all that work without taking it to a mechanic. Nice color on the wheels too, it will look nice with the color of your car

AARONSredTYPE-S

good job on your recent work man...
I think those wheels are looking good in satin black, so go for it...
Your car should be really putting down some good power now...go for the dyno again and see if you've changed things, especially after your major tune-up...gl
