Thanks eh!! And what's that for??
I just put one of these on my Forester. There's a couple hoses from the valve covers and the PCV that go into the intake manifold that have blow-by gases. Basically the hoses go into the air oil separator and particles and whatnot have the chance to separate from the clean air back into the intake manifold. As engines get older, blow-by gets worse because the pistons don't make such a good seal against the block.

I assume that my detonation and my o2 sensor got fouled because of this blow-by crap, so I hope the catch can was a good addition...I have pics of it in my journal if you care to look.

I just picked up the lgt rears and the lgt spec b fronts are on their way, but I might need more stuff to make the fronts work...

I want colored brakes but for some reason I would only want them if they were opposing pistons, like the Wrx 4/2 pots, or Brembos. But alas I'm, poor.

You can get the vinyl lettering right? That would look good...maybe I'll look into it, but my priorities are going back to biking for the summer. You'll see the final mods I'm doing in the near future in my journal, and that will be it for a while. I broke my collar bone yesterday so I have lots of spare time now. Yay?

Referring to a gear in the diff. Not entirely positive as to which specifically, but you have the planetary gears and the sun gear which is one of the central ones. Maybe.

Google. Then bite a stick and buy the STi drivetrain swap your car needs.
