('01-'02) My "Melange": phmancus' 2001 S - Page 30

Gotcha. But for Mike's purposes with his '02, he could use any '04 and beyond, correct?

Yes, he has the same OEM master cylinder as your car according to the parts catalogue.

04-07 STi should all work for BB and Master cylinder.

Worse comes to worse, all you have to do is bend some custom hardlines to make it fit. Might cost an additional $10 for the lines and connectors (female to female).

I predict some fun things in Melange's future.

Patience.

Some of said fun things will be kept under wraps all the way until DGM.... if I can hold my tongue for that long.

Man this will be fun.

Cars & Coffee Raleigh was this morning, followed by us Suby guys breaking off from the crowd for a nice backroads "cruise" again. I'm not sure how you can cruise with white knuckles...

Go wild, man.

Anyone have recommendations on some good quality and colored spark plug wires? Got my money back on the coil pack that wasn't the issue.... after the code cycled out it came right back the next day. I pulled out the spark plugs and it looks like the plug seals need some replacing, so I picked up a felpro set and some new NGK iridium plugs. Just need to find some pretty looking wires now.

2cam16 · 02-03-2013, 06:50 AM

Phil,
Go for the NGK blue wires. Good stuff.

phmancus · 02-03-2013, 07:38 AM

I was looking at those, yeah. I was looking over on boxer4racing though and they sell the Magnecor competitions in red. $95, but I really trust those guys over there with what they carry, and if my ignition system is indeed on the fritz, those puppies should clear any confusion up for sure. Plus they're red...

If someone wants to chime in and tell me I'd really be wasting my money and I won't notice any difference at all or they won't effect the health of the engine in a positive way, then please let me know. Could save me a lot of money.

2cam16 · 02-03-2013, 07:48 AM

Back in the early 90's, I installed a set of Magnecors in my Civic. Didn't really notice much difference. I think I could have saved $80 back then. I believe the only way you'll notice an improvement is if the car has some pretty good mods, specially in the ignition system.

phmancus · 02-03-2013, 07:53 AM

NGK it is then. Too bad they don't come in racecar red. Would've matched the manifold when I paint it soon.

phmancus · 02-03-2013, 09:30 AM

Acquired:

-NGK blue spark plug wires
-NGK iridium plugs
-Felpro gasket & seal set

I'll do the job as soon as the wires ship in, clean everything up, and hope for the best.

More importantly though, acquired:

-Whiteline 22mm adjustable front sway bar
-Whiteline 24mm adjustable rear sway bar
-Whiteline rear sway bar mounts
-Kartboy front & rear endlinks
-Hella Supertones

And now I wait...

Wessneroo · 02-04-2013, 06:30 AM

Be sure to wire the Hellas off a relay for extra horniness. Text me if you need help with the wiring.

Yeah that's over my head so you'll definitely be getting a text.
