What did you do to your subaru today?

Picked it up from the port. First time I've seen it since August. Then spent four hours driving it home

In the pic are me, my Version VI STi Type-RA Limited and my buddy's Version V WRX Type-RA Limited.

 

Damp parking lot. I trust you violated that thoroughly. Looks great stoooooooooo!

 

Oh, good grief no. There are at least three different branches of the police wandering around the docks. You bow your head, tug your forelock, politely say 'Yes, sir' or 'No, sir' and you absolutely, positively keep to the speed limits. Enjoying it here is going to be reserved for track days and the occasional blast along a nice quiet B road...

 

bought some winterforce and new radiator

 

Bummer! They even set out cones for you too. Although i wouldnt turn down a "fun run" through those roads!

 

i installed my grimmspeed AOS now hopefuly i dont have to refill my oil every other gas tank

 

Nice looking rides

 

Installed injectors and pump, ready for E85 this spring. Thanks to Nuke for a new map, always pleasure to work with.

 

Shes now winter-ized ............. although it was hard to take the summer stuff off when there isnt any snow on the ground

stock rims (spray painted black), Hankook winter tires, grill to protect the front mount and RA mud flaps

 

Drove the car to the body shop for repairs and new paint.

 

Bought all sorts of goodies for it over the long weekend to take my stage 2 wagon to mild stage 3...

BNR EVO III 16g Hybrid
Grimmspeed EBCS
Deatschwerks 850cc Sidefeeds
Walbro 255
Infamous oil line kit
Infamous tune

Picking up an AVO TMIC from 08TuboGT in a couple weeks. Hope to get the install & tune done soon for 91, then get an e85 tune in the spring.

 

Slap on snow tires n new racing radiator

 

Picked up my Holiday unlimited car wash pass today and ran her through the car wash. Last day to get in on a good deal, buy one month get the second month free!

 

Ordered a new head unit and wiring kit.

Stopping by GrimmSpeed after work to pick up some STI Pink Paint for the summer wheels (and a photoshoot).

Tomorrow will be oil change, air filter cleaning, and prepping the summer wheels for paint... maybe some painting of said wheels. Sunday is my first day back teaching @ Afton so I need to lube up the locks on the snowboard rack (so they don't freeze) and get my snowboard ready.

I am happy I have a garage heater for all of this.

 

Just had my snow tires mounted to some WRX rims I picked up. I'm ready for some snow!

 

How much?

Finally slapped on the snow tires Wed. night , changed the oil, reaimed the headlights a bit, and vacuumed out an abundance of yellow lab hair after a long fall of hunting with my best pal Gunner boy.

 

$29.99 / month for the Works Wash. They had a deal where you got 2 months free but I think that deal is over. You want to buy the works pass because it has the under body spray.

 

Drove it threw the snow to BP for gas lol

 

gave it a little 5mph bumb agenst a curb. rashed up the front rim and bent the lip in a little but hey they are cheap rims thats what they are for bahah.

 

Put a new trunk with an STI spoiler on my 03 WRX. I love how it looks!

 

Dropped my front bumper and STI splitters at the body shop.

 

I loaded mine onto a flatbed and sent it off to a body shop.

 

Replaced my plugged factory up pipe with one off an sti. Went from 3 psi to 13

 

New turbo showed up today!



Moar pics of turbo and supporting mods: http://s140.photobucket.com/albums/r16/turkeylord/LGT Stage 3 Upgrade/

 

Started researching new clutches for it, now that I've mostly fried the stocker.

 

ordered invidia dp, grimmspeed ebcs from import image racing.

This will be put in by Zombie and I along with a grimmspeed up-pipe that is hanging in the garage, a timing belt, and we'll fix a leaky cam gear seal. I'll then need a tune from Nuke.

 

New Charcoal canister vent solenoid, and a new drain filter... That I guess explains the recent CEL continuously coming on with a fuel vapor read out... ? I'm learning...

 

Hey what year is your Legacy? 05 and up and you will not need fuel pump install kit. You will also might need bigger injectors.

 

It's an '05, I'm not sure what peices of the install kit I might need, but I figured I'd have it just in case. I did pick up a set of DW850s, should be plenty of fuel for a 16g on corn...

 

Finally wash the wagon yesterday lol

 

Put out some quote feelers for over a grand in parts that I didn't really want to buy before I got gauges. Oh well.

 

Flashed to stage 1 with my new AccessPORT. Did one datalog run and now I'm trying to figure out what the numbers mean lol

 

Just finished installing 06 STi take off suspension on my 99 Forester. Can't wait to be able to enjoy my drive to work again!

 

New head unit put in the car. More power to the speakers = bumps I have never heard in my car before. Love the upgrade and the better sound that came with it.

Painting my summers (currently) with a new GrimmSpeed paint. Pictures to follow in the next few days.

Dropped off a present (new part) for my tuner. Pulled up the same time Juks did. Love the winter car.

 

Went to get a "nice" car wash at perfect 10 today, and unfortunately only would give it a rating of 6... Used to be a lot better :/

Hauled the brat up to the offroad park for the first time. Has some.....uh.....issues (won't charge the battery, carb kept flooding on hills, shift linkage fell off and I end up driving back to the parking lot, stuck in 2nd....), but it was damn fun. Wish I had some pictures....but I was a bit busy driving...

 

^^ Yea I only took 1 picture of my Jeep and 1 small video of Max trying to climb the log hill. My neighbor has a good video of my close call I have to get from him. Hard to take pictures when you are too busy having fun.

 

Izzy took this pic of me checking battery connections while I wait for max to come give me a jump start:

 

Installed Maddad shorty DP. Downpipe install on 2011 is pretty tight compared to 08. It took me a while to get some of the bolts loose but I did not take my intercooler off the car. And I told myself no mods for this car, yeah right.

 

Had some tuning done last night on the Ze zercle course lol.

 

I got in on this with an hour to spare, and I didn't even realize the deal was going on.

 

You're worse than me! How many miles? I replaced mine at 50k

 

32k'ish

To be fair, I did start throwing over 50% more wheel torque at it. It was bound to happen eventually. There's a handful of us that are all toasting the stock clutches in 5th gens around 20-30k after uncorking the ECU.

 

Hit a damn deer did some christmas decorating
