What did you do to your subaru today?

I'm going to need Sheen to retouch up on my front bumper. hehehe.

 

installing Grimmspeed up pipe, re done the trunk(patch holes, sand, prime, paint, clear), wet sand and buff hood, looks glassy now, having heads ported, missing a 8mm to bleed brakes! spaying underbody on much needed areas under car plus bolts.

 

Once he's done....give me a call and we can keep it looking flawless!

 

I LOVE the Sleeper look!

 

Left the meet early to get tuned by nuke. Loving the new tune. Much smother then the access port map it had before. Thanks again nuke.

 

Looking good Kong.

 

more wet sanding, waiting for heads to be port and polish, i could feel the power and hear the swoosh from ported heads and new grimmspeed up pipe and all new gaskets!!!!

 

oh yeah! courtesy of Pheng Thao, can't wait to install, maybe go ahead and have him pnp my turbo, all for $100

 

NOW THAT'S HOW IT'S DONE! Go big or go home!

 

If the heads are off, are you going to install forged pistons?

 

just picked up a dw65c pump thanks to ButzSTI

 

no, my time and funds are limited, need the car tommorrow for interviews. if i only had a hoopty to drive around? next project down the line would be to port the intake manifold/tgv and install a bigger throttle body. i'll be picking the heads up and ceramic coating it, the turbo, top mount, cross pipe,

 

Still, nice mod!
I'm jealous.
I want a outback wagon 2.5XT so I can haul dogs, junk as well as ASS!

 

thanks, my sister just pick 1 up! the wagon XT, a 2002 with 220k miles for $3k, thing drives nice and sits high! love it.

 

I'm thinkin '09.....30,000 miles or so.. wife's car ya know. I have a truck for now. Once that's paid for, I will get next STI hatch....
I have an 03 WRX with 107,000. It's in the the pic to the left. My wife is driving it now. Full stainless exhaust, 9lb flywheel, intake has been replaced with high perf., HUGE top mount with new gaskets to the hood, Grimmspeed boost control solenoid and a reflash to 23 psi...love it!

 

holy crap! thats beast! mines a 02 wrx with 120k miles, exeddy racing clutch and 12lb ACT flywhl, turbo xs hybrid bov, 05 sti radiator, perrin lighten crank pulley, perrin short shift adapter and urethan shift bushings, 4" carbon hood scoop, turbo and intake manifold ceramic coated. never tuned or reflashed yet. 23psi?! man thats beast, i'll be happy knowing if i'm doing 17psi. oh and of course just installed the Grimmspeed up pipe and the ported heads, i ceramic coated those and the cross pipe.did a test run and the rpm and boost climbed really quick, but the engine was smoking after i got back, don't know why, no leak.

 

reflash and do 20. make sure you give it cool down time, and know that the turbo life WILL be shortened. I was thinking of putting in a different turbo a couple of years ago, but found I could run the current one way up. Then, when the current one fails, I can up grade. Still running strong, though! I have a turbo timer in it, too. That enhances the cool down time greatly.

2nd gear shattered, though. I had to put in a new tranny. I went with an '04, and from what I'm told, the 2nd gear was beefed up a bit, as it was a known problem.

 

fixed two error codes - put the non-fouler on my rear O2 sensor and finally fixed my knock sensor connection issue (the right way this time)

 

Its not that bad. Light scuff markes. The picture shows my dirty hand prints.

I also want to debadge my trunk. Can you clean up those area's for me?

 

I like it. Is this FMS kit? Looks very good.

 

Its the ERZ kit.

 

Got the new perrin inlet installed, all by myself and only little under an hour. No more high rpm issues. Now time to finish the tune.....

 

Got the new "to me" shoez on the Forester

 

Pictures?


I washed the winter out of my door jams. Detailed most of the inside.... spend a few hours on it. More RainX for the front windshield.

 

Same thing

 

Filled up with e85 and exercised her a bit. She's a happy car...

 

I painted my stock wrx rims to a gunmetal/graphite gray! Started on Friday, and finally got them on the subie today!

 

heads or exhaust manifold?

 

quick cell shot this morning
18x8.5 torques +48
Next year I'll put proper forester fitment tires on it, most likely 245/45 instead of the 235/40 that's on it

 

washed up the car and put a little shine into her

 

adjusted front end links so they were hanging properly.

 

Finished the flip key for my car

 

Very nice Ben. I've been thinking of making one for the STi.

 

very nice...what's involved in making one of these?
