JimboFreedman 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2019 Hi everyone! I was the unfortunate victim of a blown engine in my 2012 BRZ earlier this year, and after months of faffing and two engine replacement quotes (16,000CHF and 8,500GBP respectively), I did it myself. Finally managed to rescue my car from the garage, with my dismantled engine in a cardboard box with the whole in the bottom. Everything went smoothly after the eBay seller had collected the 2016- FA20 he incorrectly delivered and given me the 2012- FA20 I paid for - the new pinout for the crankshaft position sensor screwed me over on connecting it to my harness/ECU! Also had to reorder a few bolts (e.g. transmission bolts) to replace the ones the British garage lost. Anyway, that's all done, but I have a few parts left over that feel like they might be important, and whilst with my laptop or IKEA bookcase I'd say "screw it", I'd rather make sure these are where they are supposed to be: The giant bolt and washer are corroded like they lived on the underside of the vehicle. I've spent a fair amount of time down there over the last month and I can't find anywhere where they look like they belong - even on the diagrams. I'm still waiting for my front undertray to be delivered back to me because they forgot to put it in the car when I picked it up. I also can't rule out that they are from someone else's car... The smaller nuts/bolts and the black plastic circle (?) are from the top of the engine bay. Somewhere. I removed the nuts/bolts as I was removing the hood, and moronically didn't make a note of where they came from. If anyone recognises them that'd be fantastic! The black plastic I think fell off the hood as we were reattaching it. If anyone recognises any of these and could point me at their homes, that'd be fantastic!

This looks exactly right - there's a circle of dirt on the bonnet that matches it, and would explain why there's no equivalent on the other side. Thank you! (slightly strange that it doesn't seem to be *attached* in any way - I guess it relies on the vehicle not moving with the hood open). By the metal belly plan, do you mean this? https://parts.subaru.com/a/Subaru_2013_BRZ-20D-6MT-Premium/_51505_6030556/UNDER-COVER--EXHAUST-COVER-UNDER-COVER-FRONT/Z10-572-01.html If so, I don't have it back yet but can't check but the diagrams don't indicate their presence. I believe they are M10x25 bolts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nerdstrike 186 Report post Posted September 27, 2019 For the big bolts, I'd be tempted to look at the front wishbones for conspicuously shiny replacements. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
