Re: WTB/WT Borrow A/C Manifold Gauge, vacuum pump

Have you tried calling your local Kragen/Autozone/Pep boys to see if they have free tool rental for those? Yep... Seems as though they don't rent/loan them out any more. I'm guessing it's a new EPA thing. I think I'm going to bite the bullet and just buy the H-F stuff. It's still cheaper than takin...

Re: Is it better to use the clutch for quick 1st-2nd gearchanges

What the title says... Basically after blowing my transmission I talk to a few people about it and one of the things that I heard was that damping the clutch during a 1st-2nd gear change can be worse than just lifting off the throttle and changing 1st to 2nd. Does the above statement hold any water...

Anyone here know of a decent shop for A/C repair? I'm pretty sure that it's just a simple o-ring replace/evac/recharge job on my Subie. The A/C was working fine a few months ago, ice cold. Now the blower just blows ambient temp air. The compressor isn't engaging, probably due to low refrigerant char...

BTW, you'll be hard pressed to find a 225/40/17; it's a very odd size.

Temple City Motorsports on Rosemead, south of Las Tunas and north of lower Azusa? I bought some Motul (smells like roses!) for my bike there. I think their 5-gallon "utility jugs" were $30. Might be cheaper at Jegs or Summit.

Re: What can you tell me about KW Variant 3 coilovers?

I run them on my STX WRX. They off-the-shelf spring rates are a bit soft for auto-x (in my application at least), with 8kg-mm front and ~6kg-mm rear (progressive) springs. They're not bad for daily driving (which I do with my car). The range of damping adjustment is noticeable, but I have yet to pro...
