What did you do to your subaru today?

Picture

 

Missing mine. Had to trade it temporarily with my mother's automatic POS Cobalt so that the girlfriend can get around after having her ACL repaired. At least I have the her '04 WRX wagon to use instead, with a banging stereo system!

 

You will like it....

 

Still getting used to the E85 tune on the wagon, im liking all the torque though

 

Destroyed a tire on a piece of a car that was left in the middle of the highway...selfish pricks! move your stuff! hopefully i didnt put hole in it and i just popped the bead off.

 

Stand on it as often as possible. I'm getting ready to switch back to my e85 map.

This was my afternoon...

 

Well this was on Friday/Saturday but whatever.

New wheels (to me) from a 2000 Outback and new tires.

Before, busted/rusted steely after nailing a pothole on 94:


Wheels:


After:


I also touched up my rubber trim. This winter has been brutal enough.

Before:


50/50:


After:

 

We gave my new (to me) wheels a face lift. Hopefully they can go on next week.

 

Looked at some pictures of it, having a long distance relationship with a car is hard!

 

HID kit... and new (to me) wheels! Now to properly balance align the bulbs...

 

Put on a set of Rally Armor flaps and new floor liners are FINALLY in the wagon!

 

New struts in the wife's Outback courtesy of Morrie's Minnetonka. It should be good for another 140,000 miles.

 

Hooked up the electrical part of my boost gauge, was going to go with OEM colors.. but white was so bright i couldn't say no.

Nice. Looks real good.

 

Found a critical part missing in the engine

 

Changed oil in the Legacy GT.

 

horns, GOLD ROTA GRIDS, grill, tint, tail lights again.. ready for summer!

 

Nice looking grids 17's or 18's?

 

Added some smoke to my tail lights. Different is good.


Freshly applied:




Shots from this morning:

 

bought a version 6 STi wagon... now just gotta wait to have what i want taken off of it and have it sent over...

 

i have the same tails imo they look better fully smoked but to each has their own.

 

guess what I did?

Can anybody guess what I did?

Put the summer wheels back on.



Now we can be sure it will snow again!

 

STi interior.

 

not exactly

 

I loaded my e85 map and filled the tank with corn juice.

 

Cleaned the seats?

 

JDM V7 STI Seats

 

Cleared out the headlights, and painted all the amber bulbs so they don't reflect amber in the housing but light up amber...

 

this man has win, not sure how I like these yet, might go to another seat, kinda sucks that I can't adjust my seat and it sits high

 

I have smoked out the entire tail lights on other cars, and have recieved citations for it. This way, the tail lights and brake lights are still red. Not black. I am hoping I will not be harrased by the POPO this time. And this looks a little different than fully smoked. Or fully red.

I added some other things to the car this weekend to create a more Aggro style and look. I think it turned out well. But my crappy pictures don't do it justice. Added summer wheels, smoked the corner lights up front, smoked the tails (as shown above), and debadged the trunk. See you on the steet!






Corner light before:

Coner light after:




Yeah, it's a little dirty. But's it's a Subaru. The last thing on my list for the summer is a some tint. That will complete my exterior upgrades.

 

Looks good bro. I actually really like the half tinted tails. Gives it more of a unique appearance. Less hassle from the 5-0 is definitely a plus too!

 

installed GroupN tranny mount, rear diff inserts, crossmember bushings, driveshaft support bushings, and pitch stop mount. goodbye clunky driveline slop!

 

Yesterday was WRX day - summers on, oil change and checked all turbo downpipe and uppipe nuts for tightness. Still have loud ass exhaust noise from engine compartment.
Today is Forester day - tire rotation, rear diff fluid change, and installed STI rear sway, STI sway bar mounts, and Whiteline KBR-16 rearlink bracket support.

 

Thursday installed new Kenwood DDX-616 head unit. Friday summer set up back on. Bilsteins, RPF1 wheels, muffler delete. Today, installed USB splitter to have both Ipod control and USB ports available.

 

Swapped the summers onto the Forester. Also installed an STi rear sway bar too. Now the Forester leans a little less. Swapped the Rotas onto the WRX and got the yellow rims ready for sale...

 

Friday-Switched over to topfeeds tgvs, installed new 1200cc'ers.
Yesterday/today-Installed Boost guage and Aem uego.

 

For sure. I was surprised at how wimpy the Forester hardware was compared the STI's. In every aspect except endlinks which are the same.

 

Outback is at the dealership for a tranny whine while coasting. Warranty repair.

Car is also not boosting past 10lbs. Maybe they'll replace the turbo or waste gate? hehehehhe

 

Filled it up with electricity again after the alarm started going mental. I guess if I'm not using it, I should diary a top up at least once a month.

 

The beater Subaru (Aqua Thunder) took second in class today and took home the ugliest car award.

 

Drove her for the first time in 4.5 months [Saturday]. The people driving along side of me may or may not have seen me giggling all giddy like a school girl because dayum it feels awesome to get back into a performance car. Even tooling around in vac to burn off the old last seasons fuel, the feel of a six-speed, tight & responsive handling, and that sweet sweet unmistakable sound of roobles makes me smile.

My thanks and appreciation goes out to Ron @ RSMotors for taking good care of her all winter, charging the battery for a couple days last week, ensuring no startup issues and just making my first experience storing car awesome. You guys rock.
