What did you do to your subaru today?

Changed the oil, last time it will be getting dino juice. After DCTC this coming weekend I get to swap over to T6.

 

Changed my original order (17x8 flat black G-Force) from the wheel dude to 18x8.5 e48 Rota G-Forces in Gold!

 

Saturday I finally got a new cabin air filter. I then used up the remaining sound deadener that I had laying around on my trunk lid.

Today I got my Accessport in the mail. Flashed my car and drove about 20 miles. Feels great over stock!

 

Dynoed at RS today, 299whp, just shy of my goal of 300 but that's with winter blend, summer blend should get me my 300

 

Installed cobb intake and box. Flashed stage 1 map with my shiny new accessport. Threw an overboost cel. Running the lwg map now. I am hitting 18.5 for a split second in 3rd, but everything seems to be running alright. ECU is still learning about its new best friend.

 

Tires, rotors, pads, coil pack, spark plugs, coilovers, sway bars, oh my...

This will be my Friday. I even took the day off for this.

 

Hey there, I'm sure you did this correctly, but I'll throw this out there...did you download the stage 1 map specifically for their intake or just the regular stage 1? I believe the AFR is different. I'm not saying it has to do with the CEL, but could lead to running too lean and obviously big problems down the road.

 

Third subie with an accessport. I flashed the stage 1 map for the cobb intake. It is not uncommon to have to use the LWG map. Could be the colder weather too. We'll see after everything evens out.

 

cool I figured you had it covered. just looking out.

 

Appreciated! Won't be messing with it until it warms up again. I did install my kartboy short shifter last night. Will do bushings once I finally decide on exhaust.

 

Threw a curt hitch on my 13 sti so I can haul a bike rack. Lol

 

Replaced my extended center console lid with a standard lid, replaced a burnt out bulb, wipers and wiper fluid.

 

glad to see someone else has one. my 2011 (bought used) came with one and originally I hated it and was looking for a replacement but I think it's a waste now. I would go roof if I buy a roof rack just cause I think it looks bad***. the hitch will be nice if I ever need to tow a uhaul lol.

 

It's Done.
The legacy got a AVH-X8500BHS, backup camera, and XM Radio. All paired with the JDM Double Din and HVAC controls.
My favorite part of this HU is the AppRadio mode.. a pioneering app developer whipped up "ARLiberator" for android. If you've got a compatible android phone, and hook it up to this deck, or any of the "Advaced AppRadio" decks, your phone emulates on to the screen with full touch interaction. So, google maps, nav, google music, youtube, all of it right on the 7" touch screen in the dash.

 

picked up Legacy #3.


YEAH!

 

Today I got the n/a heads off, stripped the black paint off the block and repainted it silver.

 

Had a buddy make me a custom shift knob. Brushed T6061 aluminum. Feels awesome in the hand.

 

That looks killer. Love the double-din kit - if you ever part with it let me know.

 

I'll put notes in my will that you would like to purchase it from my next of kin

 

Finally ordered my sway bars and end links 24 Whiteline front & 22 Whiteline rear with Kartboy end links. Then it's time for an alignment guy. Also cleaned the MAF sensor for the first time. That was easy duh. ****************D

 

Bought it more stuff yesterday.

TSK 3 kit to shut the throwout bearing up, and a Subtle Solutions Alternator cover since i no longer run the engine cover.

Next? Hmm. Radiator?

 

Ordered new rubber. Went with the Continental ExtremeContact DW in 225/47-17. Ultimatly decided on them over the Michelin Pilot SS because of better ride quality, weight, and price.

BBSs are at Powder Keg now, can't wait

 

I ordered some new rubber yesterday as well - Federal 595 RSR's, 265/40-18

 

Did you have Star Specs before?

 

Stop copying me! Jk.

I'll be curious to hear what you think of them as an autocross tire. That size is a bit taller than stock. Hopefully that works to your benefit for the courses you'll be on.

 

I went wingless. Probably wont ever go back! Now I just need a new hood and 04-05 Tail lights!

 

Found a hood for it, just have to pay for it when I get off work

 

Haha I had star specs on the Saabaru, and my current summer wheels had the federal rsr's on them when I bought em. Ran the rsr's at the pdx last fall and liked them, even though they are near end of life. Couldn't pass up the deal to buy em again!

Haven't run them in an autox yet, but I'll know in a couple weekends. My 2nd gear is kinda short for some autox courses, so they might help.

Now if I ever go "stage 1", then I'm definitely copying lol

 

I guess I'm copying you then...

 

I had RPF1's for my winter wheels too....you're gonna be back to stock before you know it!

 

'04-'05 tails won't fit on an bugeye...unless you swap over the rear bumper as well.

 

I also heard, not sure if its true, but you can trim the bumper where the round part dips down into the bumper to make the 04-05 tails fit.

 

They will fit without trimming or changing the bumper. There will b a small gap at the bottom but you can't see the gap unless you lay down under the car

 

Yup that's what I read on the tail lights. There will be a gap if I don't trim it at the round part. They look SOOO SEXY

 

I have 04-05 tailights on a bugeye...no swap of bjmper or trim/cutting my stock bumper

 

got to do some deep snow fun

 

this weather is dildos.

 

Had so much snow packed in my right hand wheel well that I couldn't turn right very much unexpectedly. Damn near crashed my car!

 

Hopefully the lady friend will enjoy the addition to the bedroom The current Federals have an event or two before I throw on the new ones!

 

Omg 265's! That's huge on a Subaru

 

It's pretty common on the 08+ STI and 11+ WRX with the wider fenders.

 

That's what I said...to her!

Sarcasm
Maybe if I ever go coilovers and roll and I can go 285 or 305?....

 

People have gone 275 on coilovers without too much work. After that it gets into fender pulling and lots of camber.
