    Default Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!

    Haha just had to vent a little frustration after having to install a new heater core in my WRX. Wow that was a PITA. I think they built the whole car around the heater box.

    Pics to come lata.

    Feel free to state the biggest PITA install you have been part of

    Installing my new turbo was a pain, was the first time though. LOL I know how you feel about the whole, heater box thing.

    Most cars made after 1995 have a heater core that is a pain in the ass to replace.
