What did you do to your subaru today?

You did that today? Did you have your alignment done? I hope so if you plan on running tonight... otherwise plan on buying new tires.

 

Wednesday and yes alignment was done

 

Ok good news. I was a bit worried for you.

 

Drove the Scooby too Hayward Wisconsin for a wedding

 

PlastiDipped the grille. No more gross chrome yay!

 

Got my JDM sti strut bar in last night/today and I think it felt a little stiffer in the turns driving to work this morning. The bar was impossible to put in when the car was on a tiny grade in my driveway- but once it was flat in the garage it was easier. So you know there is some chassis flex goin on.

Also i ordered those TurboXS mufflers yesterday.













because racekar

 

Was thinking a built short block, but then my son was begging for an English Bulldog so that took priority I guess. It's like having a kid all over again.

 

Replaced my leaking coolant hose, all good now

 

If ya don't mind my asking, what'd he/she cost? My wife wants one in the worst way.

 

The breeder was selling them for $2k but is starting a business and wanted to move them since they are 3 months old now. I got him for $1000. The dad is a show dog, akc registered and champion bloodline.

 

That's about what I've seen em listed for as well. Hard to justify dropping 10 bills on a dog. But they are pretty awesome dogs.

 

Put 600 miles on the beater this weekend chasing rally cars in the woods!

 

^This, except in an Armada FTL. So much gasoline...

Had to map it out to quantify the madness. This is just Saturday!


If we had gone back for the super special that would've added another 116 miles...

It was fun though!

 

Why go through park rapids? Should have took Highway 113, so much fun... Just not in an Armada.

 

We towed the camper and stayed there, that's why we drove the beast.

 

Saabaru: Swapped the roof rail deletes for WRX roof rails with ericthegoalieman. Thanks again!

STI: Got the bung welded in for the wideband sensor and wrapped the downpipe (mainly to protect the axle boot that likes to tear from heat). In case anyone is curious, that is an entire 15' x 2" roll of DEI Titanium Exhaust Wrap. I used good ol's hose clamps to secure the wrap at the top (hidden by wrap) and bottom. So much easier to work with than those damn metal zip ties, more stable, and cheaper. Win, win, win!

 

I'll leave this pic here too:

 

went to NF and 2 gauges popped out
- Defi raced boost gauge
- AEM wideband A/F gauge

 

Today, Cusco rear strut tower bar to match the front

 

Wrapped up a couple projects this weekend. Finished wiring up the failsafe output of my AEM wideband. Now it will use a relay to cut the signal to the boost control solenoid and drop me down to wastegate boost if I go lean or over boost.

Replaced the seatbelt in my driver's rear reel. Old one had an ugly stain.

Ran a 1/0 lead from the battery to the back. PITA. For future stereo use and for the following mod...

Rewired my fuel pump with 10 awg wire. Feeding it battery/alternator power from the 1/0. Stock was 18 awg, not enough - typically only saw 11.5v at the pump. I should have 13v+ now.

Pic below is the new 10 awg soldered to the stock wiring. Mmm, beefy.


My back hurts, lol.

 

Gah, double post...

 

Subaru # 1: Oil Change, PS Fluid Flush, AT Tranny Flush, Rear Diff flush, Tire Rotation, waxed it, and cleaned most of the interior. Removed a mudflap stripped it and repainted it.
Subaru # 2: Swapped the rotas back on, got the new tires mount on my BBS for Proving Grounds, Washed the car, did a little touch up paint. Installed weathertech floorliners. Checked the brakes, and fixed a loose exhaust hanger.

 

Chris at Flawless did some overlays for me last night. I was going to get the reverse lights cut out but I like the all red:

 

Tinted my tails over the weekend. A bit darker than I wanted but I still like it. They look really dark in the pictures

 

Walkthrough posted, if anyone is interested:

Nice, Chris did my taillights as well and I ended up doing the same. He had applied the red and I like the way it looked without the cutouts, so I had him leave it. The other option I'm considering is doing the cut out for the reverse lights but then having him apply a light tight to the area that is cut out. Looks awesome imo!

 

Thats funny! I was thinking the same thing until I saw them all red........... mind changed!

 

Bought another one... sigh.

 

Removed the no front plate ticket from the winsheild. Got to love souless meter maids...right out front my house even..

 

Technically nothing, but the UPS person dropped off 2 huge Invidia boxes. No cats in those boxes

 

There this should keep the meter maids somewhat happy...

 

Just doing their job. I got a ticket for having a license plate frame...now that was soul-less! But the wonderful courthouse lady dropped the $130 ticket and the included $40 parking ticket. I'm willing to bet if you go fight your ticket and bring in a picture of your car now with a front plate, they will drop it

 

Took my car into for some some professional detailing from Megan (legsaucy)! Woohoo I'm so excited!

 

Mishimoto radiator installed

 

Yanked the AC condenser and drier in preparation for putting new ones in.

 

I plan to. Kicker is there is no reason for them to be by my house. There are no summer parking restrictions in my neighborhood.

 

Me too, and I installed it today

 

put on extra parts i had laying around went from a pillar to the gauge pod alot cleaner look and got the strake and aero guard on

 

Drove it

 

Installed walboro 255, removed turbo and inlet. Now this weekend I will be installing my vf48, grimmspeed bcs and tomei silicone inlet on my 06 wagon.

 

Reached my goal with the build, Ran 12.7 at 109mph

 

Nice!

 

Thanks, it's capable of a faster trap and quicker time but I'm still new and learning. Maybe 12.3 at 113+ with a great driver, but I'm happy as 12.7 was actually my goal when I started modding it. Achieved it today

 

Not today, but last night, after washing my car (of course, if you need rain, just tell me to get the car washed and it'll happen...Thank goodness for the unlimited washes at Holiday...), swapped keys with my cousin who just traded in his 2011 WRX sedan for a Ford F-150 Raptor. That truck is a monster!

 

Finally installed my Perrin RSB, mounts, & endlinks! Wow it makes a difference!!
