What did you do to your subaru today?

changed oil

 

New to me Cobb Catback. Mated with the Cobb downpipe, I am loving this exhaust!

 

Burning up the clutch!

 

Parked next to a burnt clutch.

 

Just pushed her about 300ft across an intersection in New Brighton (not far from Tangled's)... Died in the intersection and is having a wicked bad sound when I try to turn her over (heyo). Putting money down on the starter...

 

Sorry to hear that man. I am leaving work soon, if you need a ride home hit me up.

 

Thanks for the offer D! I really appreciate that.

Unfortunately, there is at least one broken rod. The consensus has been to find a new engine. Here comes the next big purchase/project...

 

That's OK just means a new chapter in the life of your car!

 

my fmic came in today yay .....now i just need a cai an bov...hmmmmm what to choose

 

Hey maybe they won't yell at you at autox anymore for the load exhaust!

 

A bath and yellow fog overlays

 

No more steel wool and safety wire for me! I'll be well under any restrictions now.

 

nice, easier not to worry. You gonna be out on Saturday?

 

Yep. I'll be running them all again this year. I'm going to Cen/Divs next weekend. First time at an event like that, we'll see how that goes...

 

Finally rotated my tires after BIR earlier this month. Also cleaned the "camping" out of my car.

 

Lol we still haven't even done that

 

Changed the oil. 100 miles short of 3000. And added a lil Lucas brothers fuel system cleaner, as I do during every oil change. Seems to help free up an extra mile or 2 a gallon that it tends to lose between oil changes.

 

Gave it a wash

 

^ what happened to the wing Kong? Someone stole it? lol

Gonna wash mine too tonight or tomorrow morning

 

We took it off a project integra. We went around and stood it on a bunch of vehicles to see what it'll look like. I wanted to see what kind of reaction I would get.

I have too much pride to mount that POS on my wagon.

 

yeah PURPLE pride... and why wouldn't you mount that on your POS WGN
POS=PrettyOutstandingSubaru

 

No matter how much our team sucks, I'll always be a fan. It's better to have a team then no team.

I'm afraid that if I drove around with that spoiler, people would key my car.

 

No, they would take a pic or two and post it on their rice thread forum.

I was a fan for all the teams today and all sports at the hmong soccer tournament.

 

Hand washed it late at night. Got dark as I was drying but it should look good in the morning hopfully lol

 

Custom bracket for the grimmspeed relocation kit

 

Got my hood scoop delete in the mail

 

I hauled a couple transmissions down to the work bench:



There's an '88 GL Wagon part-time 4WD Dual-Range transmission, an '89 RX Coupe Full-time 4WD Dual-Range transmission. Also a '93 impreza center diff and housing. 4.444 5MT front ring and pinion. And a Carbonetic clutch-type LSD.


Put this all together, and it will mean a 25:1 crawl ratio (lowest possible with OEM subaru parts, 1.592 x 4.444 x 3.545), 23-spline axle stubs so I can use stock Brat axles without modification, and obviously, a wicked front LSD.


1.59 low range gears alone in the case:

 

Put a clutch slave cylinder and new hose in one. Put some Home Depot sound damping in another. Little more civil rumbles on the inside.

 

Decided to change it up for a bit and went winless again.

 

bolted in the engine, started buttoning up all the accessories, re-installed most of all the coolant system as well... still gotta sort out the clutch, get the exhaust and turbo all buttoned up, and refill it with fresh fluids all around.

 

just picked up a used transmission.

 

Painted the chrome trim under the windows mat black.
Before:

After:

All the chrome is gone wooooo

 

Picked up some Rotas!

 

got the manifold separated from the up pipe, that kid and his "certified mechanic father" are something else, I honestly have no idea how they screwed up so much on this car.

 

Added RA mudflapperthingies.

 

Detailed it.

 

Threw two zipties on the bumper so it stopped popping out from the fender as it has only 4 front pop rivets and thats it for quick release

 

Show me the quick release

 

You mean the removal of 4 of the plastic pop rivets that are already on the car and cutting 2 zipties? Lol its ghetto but looks and works fine until I get brand new side tabs that come out easy

 

basically finished redoing all of the vac-lines, coolant lines, and oil lines on the GC8

 

LOL

 

My work has a decal cutting machine for making boat reg. numbers.....so I had my boss cut me a new sticker...

 

heh... that's awesome. We had a comment from someone that we sound like a heard of angry wookies mobbing around during a drive n' dine event.

 

I believe that was me talking about my buddy who called me up to say that if you're referring to the comment here on the website. I once told him that I thought subaru's with UEL headers sounded like wookies and he called me while I was still living in CO to tell me about the mob driving past his work. As an avid Star Wars fan I have wanted to have a sticker like this for years, so I took advantage of my opportunity and made it!
