What did you do to your subaru today?

a dog pissed on it :laugh:

 

I spent 20 spraying off all the mud from the rallycross:yumyum:

 

installed a vacuum/boost and oil pressure gauges

 

farted in it

 

Love love love it Erik!

 

Is this a new fad fetish?

 

Don't worry about it

 

I don't think we will

 

i left a stinkey one in mine too...god..i had to roll down all 4 windows

 

Installed Frozen slotted rotors and Hawk HPS pads.

 

Finally got the build started and got that god for saken' dowel pin out.

Going to get started on installing the new block, 6speed & Ect. in tonight.

Me so happy:biggrin:

 

Bleed the brakes (partially) using a Mityvac. Adjusted the headlights.

 

jacked it up, took out the old trans, took out the pedal box and installed a hydro one!

weeeeeee!

 

Put in the new gauge pod I got from Chong (Musashi)...I'll be ordering a gauge blank for the empty container for now. I plan on getting a wideband later on in my modding future...

 

Flushed all the brake fluid. Mmmm ... stopping.

 

Some JDM STi axleback hotness went on today. And some ADVAN RGs. And a ver.5 steering wheel.

The steering wheel gave me some headache cuz the airbag plugs aren't the same, but I figured it out eventually.

Axleback seems a little louder than I expected. Might keep, might not.

 

I got tired of looking at my damaged key hole on my trunk so I did this for the time being ...

 

Saw it sitting without a motor or tranny for the 3rd day.....

 

UGH, tapped a new hole for the knock sensor on a Forester..after the owner decided to strip it real good. :roll:

 

Bought a 5MT to swap into it.

 

i think that actually looks kinda tight. i like.

borla kitteh back is going on today!! wooo for rumbelzz

 

The thread is titled "what did you do to YOUR subaru"...not how you messed you up someone elses.

 

A. You = :ban:

B. I had NOTHING to do with Scott messing up the threads.

C. As usual, I fixt someone elses mistake:laugh:

 

Ordered in some brake rotors for the front... going to pick up a WRX exhaust gasket and swap Josh's (blu) old stock muffler on my car this weekend.

 

I drove to work today with my radio OFF so I could listen to the car. I normally have the radio or iPod playing all of the time and I don't listen to the car. I also sat in my drivers seat and wished I had time to Vaccuum and clean the interior.

 

Just ordered some Rally Armour Classic flaps!

 

removed my intake silencer, much louder than i anticipated, but oh well

 

Installed the new/used hella's.

 

Changed the rear brake pads. Yay!

 

polished it.

 

this thread is about your subaru not what you do in the bathroom

 

and thats what I was talking about. I also secured my sub box a little better then the 2x4 that was wedged between it and the back/front of the trunk (by the opening)


p.s. carl I like the new steering wheel.

 

The opposite of carl, started adding weight to the car in the form of sound deadening. I pulled the front seats out, center console, pulled up the carpet, and went to work. I'm surprised to see Subaru put a bit of what I assume is deadening/heat barrier in the car already. It makes for a pretty good start in the areas that it's covered.

I have no clue how I'm going to work on the firewall. It seems to have a full rubber/foam mat attached over the entire face that needs to be removed to get to the metal and reattached when done. Getting that off might require a full dash removal unless it's not as extensive as it seems to be.

 

I'll be in the same boat soon. When I swap trannies it will probably be the best time to do some more dampening on my center console, tranny tunnel, firewall area.

Keep us updated how it goes for you.

 

It goes pretty easy so far. The car comes apart pretty easy. I think the challenge is in how much effort you want to put into the project. It's one of those things where you can always do more.

Some of the fun will be putting everything back together and seeing if things still fit. :laugh: I'm going a little overkill on the whole project, basically a full layer of mat down, second layer where needed, still contemplating liquid deadener over that, and then a layer of foam. The process is inefficient for sound deadening though, and I'm partially doing it for thermal for the winter and summer months, so I'm doing more total coverage then what one would normally do. The liquid would normally go on any area not easily coverable by mat and generally suggested on the underside of the car, engine bay, fenders, etc. I kind of want to try it as a layer over the mat too, and some folks have done over and under mat (under requires complete drying prior). It's excess but fun (sort of), and I have a pile of stuff to go through: Damplifier, Overkill, and Spectrum.

I kinda want to foam my chassis too, but that is a project in of itself, one where I'd like a secondary car. That may be a fun project for a future car, a wonderful thing for both rigidity and sound deadening.

 

Changed the oil, inspected the complete underbody(found I need some bushings and a strut), fixed the exhaust, fixed the clock, went and found a tail light to put in it, cleaned more of it, figured out why my foglights do not work, found some burnt out bulbs, picked up a downpipe for when I do my stage 2 mods.

 

Replaced 3 out of 4 rubber brake line hoses with SS brakelines and installed a master brake cylinder brace. 1 hardline brake fitting is extremely uncooperative and is due to have it's nut cut off.

Thanks Scuba Steve.

 

Today Andrew and Nick came over. The A/C system was removed from the car, the windshield washer resevoir was removed and the i/c sprayer was converted over for windshield washing duty. I also got all the tint off and am about 75% done getting the adhesive residue off. Oh yea, put the winter wheels and tires on lol

 

Why did you take the tint off Rally guys use that ... just not in the area that covers the mirrors.

 

Bolted a WRX dual tip axleback on, did some post rallyX inspections, went and filled it up, checked the oil level, cleaned some junk out.

Tasty low RPM rumble :yumyum:

 

holy crap this thread took off.

I looked online for a used Cobb AP, but didnt find anything. Gotta get the car tuned so I can take advantage of the 70 degree weather we've been having

 

i took apart carls a/c with andrew and carl. loaded up some oz wheels and hella cool stickies in the back of the subaru. and i jumped a taxi with some mass subaru revage.
