Hey man, sorry to hear about your trans. Remember me? I picked up that 04 WRX from you on my birthday last May. I traded in that beautiful

GC RS for it.

Here we go again. Yesterday , on the way to the mall........
First..........Second........Thir.....BANG!!!

It was bound to happen. I'm not gonna cry about my bad luck. Modded cars break , I know it. I just don't have to like it. lol.My friend Rob came right over to steer the Baja home.(we drug it back a mile and a half with my 4X4 cub cadet)I'm hoping to have it together by the weekend so I don't miss the crab run. Stock parts again 'cause PPG's are not in the budget right now. I wanted to play , now I have to pay , AGAIN.

Boo Boo Baja

Hopefull working at the dealer might have an impact on whether its gonna be covered under the 5/60 powertrain. I'm not very optimistic though.

**TROLL** · 09-02-2008, 12:01 PM

Please put your money toward something worthwhile at least... this is obviously going to continue to happen and continue to cost you money. If you get a 6 speed or PPGs it'll be the end of your worries and driving your car will be more fun, believe me. Just trying to look out for you... the 6 speed swap is probably my favorite mod ever to the car because it allows me to enjoy every other part that much more.

Subie_sleeper · 09-02-2008, 12:18 PM

I've researched the options. Six speed needs axle conversion and the correct rear diff also. 4.44s in my trans 3.90s in sti. PPG's .... hell yeah , but unless i hit the lottery its a hell no. Not enough cash to do it comfortably right now , and a personal loan for a trans is not gonna happen. Thanks for the good advise , sadly $$$ is the limiting factor here.

Subie_sleeper · 09-02-2008, 12:19 PM

For got to add .... I can pay the bill for stock parts off in accounts recievable at work a little bit each month.

**Ender81** · 09-02-2008, 01:52 PM

Sorry to hear it Rob.

**TROLL** · 09-02-2008, 02:00 PM

six speed can be adapted to your axles pretty easily and inexpensively, and you can either swap in $150 worth of the proper ring and pinion into your original rear diff or you can probably find a properly geared wrx rear diff for $200 or less (gearing will depend on model year of the 6mt: 3.9 for 04-05 6mt, 3.54 for 06+ 6mt)

thanks. Were you planning on getting back to me to finish the gauges , or waiting for another call? It's been so long I forgot where we are. LOL. Doesn't matter now. As you know from experience with ppgs , those f ers are not cheap. Just dust off the gauges once a month and maybe our schedules will click someday. It's only been 7 or 8 months right?

240_fun · 09-02-2008, 10:21 PM
