So that one is not meant to vent to atmosphere correct? Does it have the round top with the little flange sticking out the side? I would like one to replace my stock wrx valve. So prolly not.

mine is venting atmosphere. It can recirc, but if you want a strictly recirculating valve, they have a new diverter valve.

Check their website for their BOV

This is their diverter valve for the subie with topmount

Finished installing my Tokico D-Spec shocks/springs combo yesterday. Rears went in pretty easy. First side of the fronts really kicked my *ss. But second side went pretty easy after I figured out what I was doing wrong.

after doing them once, you learn a lot and the install becomes pretty easy. I have done about 6-8 suspension installs on this car

When do you need this done by?
Do you have the parts -> stat and gasket?
I assume you are driving the car now?

I could possibly help you out later next week -> maybe thursday or friday

All my boys do is play in the snow (as they should) and mess up the driveway and sidewalk that I just cleared. lol

Brandon's pretty good about helping, though.

my blower only made it a short time this yr. back at the shop... hoping it's just a carb issue cause I don't have the money to buy a new one.

I had to shovel today. I have a 48" pusher though so it wasn't too bad.

just so you guys know, next weekend we could get 25" or more of snow. Bigger than the storm on the 11th. better start getting mentally prepared. me, well, I just bought this to ensure I could get around:

You must be kidding. I guess it would bring everything to a standstill. The biggest problem is where to put all that snow. Parking lots are full.

Aaron I really hope you're joking about getting 25" of snow next weekend, for one I had to go to Lake St and Chicago just to get some beer today cause everyone was pretty much closed at 5pm and they were open till 8pm, anyways the streets on Lake St was basically down to one lane due to all the snow being piled up for where people are supposed to park on the street but couldnt, not only that but I'm going up to my folks house up north of Brainerd that weekend for Xmas so that will not be a fun drive..
