STI limited lip spoiler

[naughtysubieXxX]

Okay guys, gonna need some help with this one... I have the STI lip spoiler!!! so excied about it but i need to drill holes into my trunk and put it on, I am not sure how to do it correctly... So, I was wondering if someone wanted to help me??? I will come to you!! just need someone with me that knows what they r doing... Ryan (the hubby) wanted to pay someone to put it on for me but I would really like to personally do it....

thanks guys!!!!~ok~

[2mprzya]

i'm sure if you check out nasioc, someone has posted a template somewhere. i would check there, or contact a dealer and see if they might be able to help you find one.


if you dont mind me asking, where did you get the spoiler? i want one sooo bad!

[GrassyKnoll]

it's not that hard to find man... (i assume we are talking about the 07 limited lip?)

[Nate8409]

Drill holes.

[Robk0000]

if you drill in the wrong spot. Cover it with duct tape.

[Robk0000]

just kidding, really you have to make a template of how its mounting, so get a piece of wax paper for cooking and lay it flat on the ground. Then place the spoiler on top, pull tightly and tape the wax paper to the spoiler, now flip it over, find the holes and mark them with a perm maker. and you have a template. from there i think you need to drill holes.

[Robk0000]

Also before drilling, make sure you dont drill into any wires.

yeah, i was just wondering where she bought it, and maybe how much. i was thinking she might have found one used or really cheap. i dont feel like going and paying full amount on one. i'd really like to find a full trunk with lip on it, so i can switch it on and off with the wrx wing.

[Robk0000]

Diy Ftw!

[naughtysubieXxX]

i got it for a present... my hubby bought it through his dealership... he paid full price, and then got it painted for me to match the color of my car.

[Kevin]

It can't be too hard. mark it out with a tape measure and double check it.
I'll be getting one in wrb when ever I'm done with the power and suspension stuff on my car.

[Nate8409]

I'll help. Just would need to know what you got with it. I know the one you can get offline comes with a template and the hardware.

[naughtysubieXxX]

i understand the idea of it, i guess what im looking for is what kind of drill? what bit? i guess i just need to know if i can use a cordless with a bit that fits the screw or do i need a special drill?~sneaky~

[Nate8409]

normal drill bit. Something sharp and high speed. What does the screw/bolts look like? Hard to tell you the size without seeing the screw or knowing the size. You can test on some piece of junk laying around. Just drill holes with different bits until the screw/bolt fits like you like it then just use that bit.

Probably 6 or 8mm bolts. like 6x1 or 8x1 sooooooooooo if it is six it woulf be a 1/4 inch bit and if it was 8 then likeeee 3/8. Eh?

[naughtysubieXxX]

nice nate thanks!~ok~

[starhm]

should be instructions from factory bought material in the box that should include required material and installation instructions...unless they dont want you to mess.

[naughtysubieXxX]

hope so, the only problem is that ryan loses everything so if it was in the box, it is missing now!

[Robk0000]

if you are asking what kind of a drill, and bit you need, please dont do this diy. you will be disappointed.

I love when i get a call from a friend that says they burnt half the bathroom down because they werent familiar with electricity, so they call the expert...people that dont know how to use tools, or that dont have common sense, need to stay away from tools. Especially powertools.

Just because I asked a question doesnt mean im stupid. I have done a lot of work on my cars before just never a spoiler. So FYI... I may be a chick but I'm not a ****ing retard!!!

[unsakred]

jesus the anger is back! lol

I think that spoiler will be going on my car soon as well.

Did you grab it from SGP?

[naughtysubieXxX]

i have no idea, i can ask ryan for u.

[Nate8409]

She will be fine Rob.

[Robk0000]

judging from what you said in the previous post, it sounded like you had absolutely NO CLUE what a drill was, because. you asked what kind of drill youn needed. Im sorry that ticked you off, but That was the stupidest question i have heard in a LONNNNNG time, and i had to jump on it.

meanie head :P

[starhm]

fight...fight...

my money is on the woman...she sounds pissed!!

[Nate8409]

I definately put my cash on Sarah.

She just asked if you needed a special drill bit Robbb. Actually as for special drill bit the best would be a self centering bit. I hate regular drill bits. Wish I had a set of centering ones.

Spamming people is more like a Nasioc thing and ususally happens cause the person does not search.

[Robk0000]

dude, if you want a sneak peak at nasioc, jsut look at drifto III, that was AWESOME!

I would use a Uni bit in this case.

btw: i guess what im looking for is what kind of drill? what bit two different things. :)

[Nate8409]

What is a uni bit?

[Robk0000]

universal bit, also known as a step bit, its 1 bit that has like 10 different sizes, they are pretty expensive, $45 each. They work Great for metals. always has a clean cut too. picture for ya.

[Nate8409]

I have a set of those. Those are nice too.

[Murphy2012]

Honestly, installing spoilers without a template is a *****. I did it on my car, after two hours of measuring every angle possible, we drilled (while sweating profusely) the holes and managed to only be off by like a 1/16". I would recommend having the stealership do it, or prepare for at least a few hours. Also, make sure to waterproof all the holes with RTV or silicone before bolting in!

[Robk0000]

dude when i got my spoiler mounted, they used this black silicone ****, that stuff was allover the trunk, and it smeared. I tried cutting excess off and cleaning, NOPE. still smudged, hate that crap whatever it is.

[starhm]

hubby cant get a dealership installation discount??? i know i wouldnt try to install one of these, but when it comes to drilling holes in my trunk...im a vajayjay!!!!

got garage though...i would take my car out to the cold grim winter to see this one!!!

[starhm]

yep, threw the 'v' word out there...deal with it!

[Nate8409]

HAHAHAHAHA. Friggin Jerry.

[Murphy2012]

Thats a good word....id be willing to help install, if the incentives are right (usually all I require is beer and/or greenstickyicky

[Nate8409]

Yeah you have everyones full support except Rob cause he is too cool for school.... j/k kidding Rob. You aren't too cool for school. jsut the spoiler. And go kartsh ahahahah

[naughtysubieXxX]

I can do the beer, not the other though cause of the job.... soo if u r up for beer i would love the help!!!~bath~

[Murphy2012]

Gonna be a bit with the holiday season and all....

[naughtysubieXxX]

thats cool, i would just like to get it done after new years... i dont want to wait for months, i think u understand how people get excited... anyways if that time line isnt good for u thats cool, i can figure it out!!!

[Robk0000]

Yeah you have everyones full support except Rob cause he is too cool for school.... j/k kidding Rob. You aren't too cool for school. jsut the spoiler. And go kartsh ahahahah


I love school wtf you talkin about, im so in love with school im ****ing building one! (really, laconia middle school)

[naughtysubieXxX]

[naughtysubieXxX]

[Murphy2012]

gonna put it on within the next week!!!! so pumped~inthepoll~




good, glad im not going to have to bother with it, such a pain.

Also, cant believe you blew a tire and are not replacing them, nub.

[Robk0000]

ive never got a flat or blew a tire. My brother has been through 8 in 2 years.

WTF is wrong with you people, you people need to start learning to drive. Or atleast get off the gas. i just dont get it. I mean, ive autoX on the same tires alomst 50 times, and put 10000 miles on the same tires and they still are good. And i even work at a construction site, therefore you find nails everywhere, wtf?

Not being aimed towards you personally, but im just blabbing on because i dont understand how its possible...dont be hatin

[Nate8409]

I had a flat once. Just have to get unlucky is all.

[unsakred]

yes sir... just got a tire today... but they are on back order for 30 days

haha don't feel bad, I went through 8 in about 7 months.

those tires are the crap.

[unsakred]

well for terry, im not replacing them cause i am looking into summers with new rims so i can get brembos.... no need to get like 8 new tires...ya know

and i wasnt even driving when it happened, ryan was. they took out a HUGE chunk of metal... i have no idea where he found that...lol

anyways i just changed the tire thats it, he doesnt know how so i drove down to where he was an put the dounut on!! lol he was like, "should I sit in the car?" lol!!! ~rotfl~

hahahahaha

[2mprzya]

what are you doing for engine mods?

[naughtysubieXxX]

what are you doing for engine mods?

i want to put in a wrx... deciding on the front mount intercooler, still playing with some ideas... i have been looking into a few other options lately, cant drop a different engine in a leased car, so while im waiting for the time to pass im gonna play around

[2mprzya]

are you planing on tracking the car? not to sound like an ass, but if you're only looking to get a wrx engine at most, and you're not tracking the car, the brembos wouldn't be a good buy.

[Kevin]

I would say go trade it in and look for a used 04-05 sti for 18-24k.

[Robk0000]

whats tracking the car?

[Nate8409]

Isn't this the STI spoiler thread?

[naughtysubieXxX]

i dont plan on it... i just have a lot of money to burn and i love the brembos, soooo thats what i is doing!!! cool with u??? i dont want to have to have a reason to get what i want... i want this car to be whatever i want no matter what it would or wouldnt make better or worse in someone elses eyes, i love the car and i think that u r correct with saying that brembos are a little extreme for what i am doing.. im just spoiled.. ~bounce~

[wagonmafia]

hey you could always get me set aswell. i dont mind late xmas gifts from strangers.

totally fine with me. its your money, your car, you can do what you'd like. i love the brembos as well, i was just making sure you were aware.

[Nate8409]

I was fine spending the 2 g's on my brembo setup.

[naughtysubieXxX]

yes sir... thanks for the concern, u guys r so good to me!!!~goteam~

[Kevin]

I was fine spending the 2 g's on my brembo setup.

I was fine with spending the 31k for my brembo's:)

[Nate8409]

I would have been too but you know in 2003 the USA sucked too much dick to have the STI. Otherwise I would have Bugeye STI with brembos instead of a WRX with brembos.

I almost bought an EVO... dun dun dunnnnn

I was fine with spending the 31k for my brembo's:)

[AllWheelsDriven]

well if the us didnt suck balls and brought the 22b over and produced a lot more i think a lot of ppl would be whiping those around but nope ****s weak

[Robk0000]

Dont worry dude, in 2009 you will have a Sti bugeye with brembos!

See theres always something good to look forward to.

~bounce~

[Nate8409]

Good call Rob. Actually should be this year.

[Robk0000]

So how much you want for the Trans/Motor and Wiring harness?

[Robk0000]

oh and crossmember

[Nate8409]

The harness wont do you much good so forget about that. You will likely need to go to a standalone CPU. It is the best option anyway. Then I could get you a short harness and the crossmember from local salvage

[Robk0000]

define standalone cpu...I thoughgt that if i got your motor i could use the wiring harness that is for the motor? or are we talking about seperate things.

[Nate8409]

Like an Element Hydra(wish I had one)...You still need some kind of ecu to control other engine functions such as boost control solenoid. An N/A ecu can't handle all the extra functions. I can't think of others right now but off the top of my head all you need is the boost control solenoid and related maps on the ecu such as duty cycle and stuff.

[Kevin]

you can get a wrx ecu but that's were all the wiring sucks. the hydra has a plug and play ecu I think for swaps. I would start looking in the swaps and conversions on nasioc. and even though your doing it yourself try emailing paul at eastcoastswappers he can help you out with more info.

[Robk0000]

Oh i thought you were going to sell the ecu to me along with the motor, i see what you mean now. shoulda just called it an ecu. I figured those into my budget if i was to go without your ecu already, boostcontroller, fuel pump controller as for the boost controller, accesport will not work. I really like the accessport... :(

how much is the ecu from SOA? even worth it, lol.
Ill do some more shopping, im not in the market right now anyways. just getting small things right now.

[Robk0000]

http://www.elementtuning.com/technical/element_hydra_ems_installation.htm

looks pretty neat, ill get some more info. Thanks for the idea

[Robk0000]

so for $1500, i have all my tuning needs coverd, boost, fuel, afr...Really well explained tuning, but i dont really know **** about tuning, maybe TDC tuning will get my business in the future.

[Nate8409]

I would be able to give you a pump and some other stuff.

[Robk0000]

Ill make a new thread. instead of hijacking this one.

[naughtysubieXxX]

its on!!!!!!!! ~ok~

[Nate8409]

Like donkey kong.

[Robk0000]
