What did you do to your subaru today?

snapped clutch cable.

 

All the power finally got to it!:eek4:

 

the power of christ compells you!

 

at least it held up on the dyno :biggrin:

 

i would have it rather snapped on the dyno, instead of 494

 

ohhh did not knows this i is sowwy.....replace clutch cable or no?
:emo:

 

yes replace, tomorrow. also glad this didnt happen on the drive to rochester

 

but you still have a bad clutch right?!?!? or was it just the cable all along?!

 

it may have been the cable letting too much slack

 

well i gots my fingers crossed for ya 3rik...i want the marOOn monst3r to LIVE!:yumyum:

 

Picked up some Blizzak revos today. Super excited to finally introduce my car to the snow! I had an Audi TT before the STI w Blizzaks, that car handeled like a beast in the snow!

 

Cleaned off tar that sprayed from my front passenger tire to the front fender, both passenger side doors, rear panel, and trunk As much as I'll miss summer, I won't miss MN construction zone city. ugh

 

new clutch cable and new LR strut. ftw!!

 

You just wait. 50/50 diff lock + revos will amaze you.

 

My Subie got a bath, a full tank of gas, a cargo tray, and a rear bumper guard. Plus it got to chat with all the other Subies at work (I work for Walser Subaru).

 

Replaced alternator and AC belts and AC belt tensioner pulley.


Started shopping for exhaust and suspension components with full intent of purchasing on the spot. Yay!!

 

Bought a Grimmspeed up pipe, Invidia down pipe and Grimmspeed gaskets to with it. Stage 2 here I come!

 

I purchased my GT with corroded rims,
so it's about time that I cleaned them up:

 

Those look really nice Phil!

 

looks great phil!!

had dave (gearhead graphics) put rockblocker on both front and rear doors about 18" up the sides - thanks for the excellent service dave!

 

Phill is the after pic after media blasting or after paint?


Edit: I just purchased a used TurboXS 4" downpipe. A friend of mine has a mandrel bender at his work. So we'll be bending it up here soon. Best thing about this is I'm only getting charged for materials. I bet this this whole exhaust setup is going to be less then $160. Custom exhaust here I come!

 

got my stereo installed into the new ride.

 

put snow tires on, even though i feel its a bit early but whatev

phill what did you clean those up with?? they look beautiful

 

Picked a good deal - a set of used 225/45R17 Azenis RT-615 on Rota Tarmac IIs. IMHO they look great on my car.

 

slapped new(er) wheels and tires...went from 14's to 15's, on the daughters legacy. thanks paul!

 

that's after media blasting,
haven't picked a color yet.

 

Phill, I'd maybe just clear them and call it a day, they look awesome just the way they sit.


Seafoamed the car today, felt bad for my neighbors.

 

Changed oil and postponed my stage 2 uprades, at least till I can get a tune.

 

can you get me model details please?!?!!?

most smaller shops wont have a true mandrel bender as per the cost involved and have been researching and trying to find a smaller one that will still do 3in at least


also I almost bought these for my Forester wagon

lmao!!!!! haha


on a further note, i went wingless :yumyum:!!!

 

lol balls

 

The place my friend works at isn't an exhaust shop. It's a pretty big company but I don't want to mention the name. But I will ask him what the model of it is, I'm pretty sure its run and operated by someone punching numbers into a computer and not like the normal hydraulic/lever bender. He made me a 2.5 inch exhaust for my Chevy Beretta and the bends are flawless. He also told me this machine can only bend up to 3"

 

drove it to wabasha and to roch and back.

the coil overs are a bit bouncy, but I think that is just a matter of getting them set up a little better.

 

I filled up my XT for the first time since I bought it today...22.7 mpg

 

Attacked some tiny rust spots on my roof today... masked, sanded them past the surface rust, primed, and tomorrow I paint. :eek4: Hope I don't mess up.

 

I opened my doors and dirt fell out. Must've been that rallycross today.

Then I washed it. I forgot what it looked like when clean.

Oh... and I picked up some rally tires on friday, but no wheels yet. Meh. :dunno:

 

got my car washed and waxed today.

 

well we may have to talk.. I may be wanting some mass produced stuff.. maybe not.. will let you know

 

Not sure if I am going to or not but I am thinking about putting the prodrives from the wrx on my forester. also thinking about trying to adjust the dampening, and give it a good coat of polish and wax. I doubt I get all that done but thats my goal.

 

Changed the oil. Awesome deal at autozone, 5 liters of Quaker State + an STP oil filter for $23 after tax!

I usually like to use the OEM oil filter, but I got to the dealership too late yesterday to buy one

 

cnc mandrel bent one-piece units are sweet. i wish i still worked at my last job so i could make my own.

 

My mom hit my driver side rear fender while she was backing out today. Every time I look at it my heart hurts deeply.

 

ouch! ^

tried to get that ****ing ball joint off again and just spun my wheels! im getting really fed up here with this rusty broken hallowed out steel bolt.

 

^ post a picture of the problem.

I drove downtown and back today. I also filled up the gas tank at $2.09. I got a whopping 32.3MPGs which is a all time high for me. This is the first full tank of gas with the 5spd and the lighter/smaller winter setup on. I also wasnt exactly nice to it during this tank, which means I might get even better mileage in the future!
