What did you do to your subaru today?

Lol yeah I am running in the amateur class as far as zip ties go.

 

Got my front lip spoiler on my car today and had a great experience at DB performance where they did my tune, intake and blow off valve. Even dropped me off at a movie and picked me up when it was done! Thanks again guys!

 

Took the intake silencer out for fun, about to take a crack at the downpipe with some friends then gonna cobb accessport it wish me luck!

 

DB for the win man, they're doing my transmission as we speak on my Evo and then a speed density tune. Glad to see someone else agrees.

 

success btw peaked at 20 psi

 

What is the COBB OTS Stage 2 targeting? Isn't it usually 18.5+/-0.5psi for their Stage 2? If you're hitting 20psi in this weather you'll probably want to keep an eye on it if it gets real cold again. Consider loading the LWG map if boost gets any higher. But I'm no expert, so maybe someone smarter can chime in.

 

The sti got parked outside overnight for only the second time since buying it new in 05. I realize this is no big deal but it's something. On another note I called in sick today for the first time in the sixteen years I've worked my job.

 

the website says 16.5+/-0.5psi for my car. but hey im not complaining lol thanks for the advice though ill check it out.

 

Bought all the components (less the passenger seat...still looking!) to finish my leather interior swap into a 2000 Legacy GT. Got the drivers seat in before the storm hit and will finish the rest as soon as it's nice out again!

 

I drove it to work.... The first time I have been able to drive in a MONTH! It is nice to have two arms again... even if one is sort of T-Rex Gimpy

 

bought main bearings for my 2.2t build.

 

Gauges! EGT isn't hooked up yet-doing so when header goes on. Yes, the gaslight is on, it got filled up promptly after I took this picture (bad me)

They match better than in the picture, my headlights kinda washed everything out

 

Ouch, a month! I haven't driven the STi for a week and it's driving me nuts, the Forester is alright but just not real exciting.

 

put it in to a snow bank to avoid an accident

 

I had to have my cousin (ZERO) pick me up about a week after my shoulder surgery and take me for a ride, get a car wash and fill up on E85. It was really annoying not driving the car. Happy to be back in it


Picked up a doughnut gasket from White Bear for my exhaust... taking it to GRIMMSPEED on Tuesday to test out the new exhaust adapter from my larger DP to my smaller SPT midpipe

 

Bought some new rims nothing special just look good, konig zero-in in 17"s. Looking still for some lowering springs since I'm not doing auto-x and just like the lowered look. Also picked out a new audio system since the stock one blows donkey and waiting tell the next paycheck to put that in. Pioneer 3300tb face with boston 6 1/2's but havn't decided to get a sub or not. I don't wanna bump bump bump everywhere I go just want to be able to appreciate good bass. Anyone has some springs let me know!

 

Also has anyone seen a rear trunk "lip" spoiler like the 07 STI limited has for a 08 and newer trunk lid? I found one on japanparts.com but its 600 bucks! No thank you.

 

(Last Night) - New Forge BPV came in the mail. It will fit nicely with the TMIC i got from Josh @ IIR earlier in the month. Also stopped by GrimmSpeed and put on an Exhaust Adapter for me to test out. Thanks again guys!

 

Installed a new TMIC and BPV last night! Now just waiting to tune.

 

That's what I call a dedication. Good for you man. I called 2 times last year and none so far in 2011.
On the other note, getting my E85 tune this weekend

 

replace a cv axle in the 93 leggy. learned about that pin...couldnt figure out why it wouldnt pull right out...duh!

 

Too bad you're switching fuel or Nuke could tune us both at once

 

I am getting it tuned tonight.

I am going back to pump gas tonight.... saying good-bye to E until my wife gets a new car. You will love it, lots of power... just a lot of fill ups and can't drive distances unless E is around... that is why i have to drop it. Summer road trips to STL and the cabin.

 

You'll be fine.

 

Yeah, I am not sweating it. I will go back to E when we have two good cars. But we are holding off on buying a car because we might be moving on the other side of 94 from Fuji... so i need to get that straight before i take on another car payment. Either way, it is important to be able to drive my car when and where i need to this summer. When we replace the camry, then it can go back to being my city only fun car.

 

Finally got around to putting my MNSubaru stickers on...

Looking good!

 

Thanks. I must say though, the only reason I called in sick was my wife had emergency surgery in the middle of the night and I was stuck at the hospital. Keep us updated on the results of the E85 it seems to be the thing to do these days.

 

Put new wheels on, changed the oil, and Nuke's going to infect the sti tonight.

 

He infected mine last night... so you might pick up my car's STDs as well! That laptop gets around if you know what I am saying.

 

blacked out the rice-er tail lights, not my style but they came with the car when i bought it. so now they look jdm-ish and painted some other parts in the engine bay black. not really worth the time but. . . looks cool

 

put the engine back in and started mocking up turbo location

 

Just get Tactix cable and switch maps from pump to E85. That's what I will be doing if I take long trips.

 

Are you saying I might get a bug from you guys? Should bring my laptop with me

 

View attachment 24330 Put sound deadener on doors, new speakers, and swapped out cloth interior for leather. If anyone needs some cheap Legacy GT cloth seats, let me know!

 

My car likes corn a lot now, 400tq/lb is crazy, I need two hands on the wheel

 

Decided since I own it, its worth 11K, but Ive changed the spark plugs, AND oil, even when they didnt need to be changed.

 

I'll give you $5 and a half eaten cheeseburger...

 

Double cheeseburger?

 

"I never said doubles Randy, that'd be like four cheeseburgers then wouldn't it?" lol

 

thank you!!!

 

Yeah the E85 is a blast. You may or may not have gotten a bug


I ordered sways and endlinks.

 

Took it for a quick drive, cleaned up the front end, started putting some of the interior back together, ordered some hoodpins, and decided to sell it.

new fmic (fake mount intercooler)


back to how it used to look

 

I installed the sensor for my Oil pressure guage, still having problems with my Prosport boost gauge, I also installed this brembo, the stopping power was amazing, I can't image what would happen with all four

Wasn't today but recently threw $ into the forester

Installed the catless downpipe a few weeks back, ordered up the Grimmspeed BCS which will be going on some time here in the next couple weeks, and ordered full 3" catback on Friday... Install day will be happening and then a tune!

 

Flushed brakes.

Whiteline Adjustable Sways 24 front / 22 rear
RalliTek HD front and rear endlinks

Hooked up the boost gauge mechanically but still need to hook up the electronical part.... so no lights yet.

Then was asked by my cousin if I like to drive backwards a lot.... I guess I had my directional winter tires on backwards all year.... lol.
