a buddy of mine had a black WRX and painted his side mirrors red...looked alright with other accents, you've got black emblems and stuff, so they're not out of place...

Your rear looks like a red version of mine!

I've been thinking about doing my mirrors and roof with plastidip. I think it looks nice on your mirrors!

Yeah I'm starting to like it more gona finish up the other one. Got a few things left to fix so I can finally start gathering turbo parts. Things have been non-stop braking on me one thing after the other its crazy. Like today everything was going "good" and I was stopped in a parking I went to leave and the accel pedal felt really weird kinda hard to press on I pushed it and it got stuck was reving up had to turn the car off. The pedal feels really notchy like I feel a notch every mm when pressing down on the pedal. Car is seriously starting to **** me off but I just have to keep reminding myself that it will be worth it in the end.

Yea it always seems like issues strike by the dozen for me too. Lol go to fix one thing find three more problems. Lol

But the accelerator pedal thing is weird... I just looked at your pics it looks like something is wrapped around the throttle cable over near your wiper fluid tank. I can't tell what it is but its not pulling on the wire is it? And check your Accelerator pedal position sensor make sure it turns smoothly. Other than that i don't know what that may be. Maybe someone else has a better idea than me. That's a bit odd...

Hmm yeah that thing you see is a random wire I have no clue what it does. It doesent pull on anything and yeah I know what you mean, I have an axle break, changed it, the next day had to do my other axle, after that I did my timing belt/water pump... then I had one bearing mess up I got it changed the next day the other bearing started making noise. + all the problems i still have and yes this problem is very weird.. came out of nowehere

Your throttle cable is touching or too near your header. Tie-rap it further up, there is a tab on the cold air intake to tie it to.

Edit : Don't tighten the tie-rap too much. Depending on the state of your cable, you might want to replace it.

1. I heard this as well but ive asked around to other people who had the obx header and noone is experiancing this except for....
https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/04...s-problem.html

2. Im gona look into the new gaskets. Just spent like 2gs fixing **** and now ive got another wheel bearing to change, this stupid header tick, valve cover leak..(mabey the cause of the tick)?? and pretty sure i need a new engine mount i have this weird bird chirp like noise a little on idle, when letting off the clutch (when the engine shakes), and on bumps...
The sound of the wheel bearing the ticking and the "engine mount" is driving me crazy
My ralliart chirped when the clutch was out and when going down the road made the same noise had the clutch done just because it needed a new one and it turned out to be clips on the clutch arm. The mechanic just took some white lithium grease and put it on and around the clips since it won't hurt anything where they are and it stopped for a month or so. I went and bought some and so now when it starts to do it again I just take the rubber thing where the clutch fork arm is out and just feel for the clips and put grease on them and it stops. Could be the same thing, maybe not but worth a shot.

Edit: also was looking at the obx header downpipe and heard there's and extra sensor hole is this true about yours? And also where did you order them?

Well theres a sensor on the header that my mechanic plugged and there one at the end of the DP which is where the sensor went.
