What did you do to your subaru today?

Rear ended an uninsured driver pretty lightly because they decided to damn near stop to turn into a parking lot on a 45 mph road.. Still going to cost me a small fortune no matter how light it was.

 

Almost got to the point of acting upon that awful fuel smell in the car. Unfortunately, I think that the only recall has been 02-03. Does replacing the fuel lines make a difference? Or, any ideas of a ballpark cost to switch to the braided lines?

 

Mine were also replaced for the recall. But when cold the smell is terrible! Makes for a long drive to work.

 

^Darn……

 

Sorry to see that.

What makes your muffler illegal? Didn't you buy it a green card?
I hear in wisco if the officer determines your hood scoop is too big, you can get a ticket for that.

 

Wtf was that cop's deal... Got you for darn near everything! Not even a fix it ticket... Sorry to see that man.

 

I drove over what I assumed to be some nails/screws left over in the drive from either my pops or the construction crew that was at my house last week and now I get to buy 4 new tires.

 

Oh sorry, it was all just a warning.

It was actually the same State Trooper who pulled me over earlier in the year immediately after leaving work.

He wasn't too concerned over any of that last time (other than my exhaust, which was my very favorite... the Greddy Ti-C).

My Perrin exhaust is not loud at all. I think it must be one of the quieter hatch exhausts out there. You can hear the annoying transmission over it. I was cruising at 25 mph.

My tint is somewhere around 35%, so it's actually fully legal in the rear - it just happened to be cloudy and the car was salty. It certainly wasn't "so dark he couldn't see inside at all".

Front license plate... Well yeah, okay.

No Proof of Insurance? It was sitting on my counter because I got rear ended a couple days before and needed to deal with insurance stuff. I had four expired cards with all the same policy information on them in my glovebox... No dice. Who drives an STi without insurance anyways?

Edit: I also had to explain what my AccessPort was after being asked less-than-politely.

 

Who drives an STI with insurance? Sooo over rated!

 

^^well you're lucky that you got away with all warnings! I think some officers just have it out for any modded cars...all probably because a few jack offs have treated officers disrespectfully in years past and tarnished the image for all of us. I'm not saying you were acting like a jack off though!

Give respect, get respect.

 

Replaced my cabin air filter, 23k on it and it was pretty dirty.

Now trying to figure out the best way to get rid of my damn spolier again (carbon lid was fun but is not practical in my situation). So I'll remove it and put vinyl dots over the mounting holes. Maybe vinyl wrap the whole lid this spring. Idk

 

Keep an eye on base Impreza for sale ads on Craigslist...might get lucky and find someone who's willing to swap before they sell their car. Tell them it will make their car worth waaaaay more $$$

 

Thanks for the tip but I'm thinking I should keep the wind sail in the basement just in case.

 

I don't know much about it, but what kind of cost would it be to just order one through the dealership?

 

^I researched this last summer, a complete trunk lid kit for a WRX (wingless) was $450 (no paint, just prime) and color matching would bring it to just over a grand from Minnetonka Suburu.

 

What about having someone like Maaco paint it?

 

Removed the radiator and all that jazz, going to do the timing stuff whenever I get the parts in.

 

Yesterday we had fun on a lake. Oh, and I broke a fog light lens. Well worth the price to have that much fun.



Late edit:
Credit to @emiliorescigno for the baller video! He had the Lego wagno

 

That is Pelteir lake in Centerville right? That looks like an awesome amount of fun, but that lake is sketchy in areas...

 

Nope, Pickerel in Nowthen. Total of 5-6' deep across the entire thing. No good for fishing since it's so shallow, but perfect for shenanigans. They rinks you see in the video were for ice bikes, they were out earlier last week.

 

Well that looks like a wonderful time lol

 

was that with 365racing? I gotta get out to one of these, when are the next ones?

 

Man, you guys give me too much credit- y'all think I'm all organized and stuff! Nah, this was just a couple of buddies screwing around for fun. ha ha

I would encourage anyone who hasn't done this kinda thing to find an event and go to it- it's a blast and a half. I did it last year with the lego, but thee hakkas and wrx power make it so much more enjoyable to be random, especially in the thicker snow.

 

Old Whitey turned over 200K today, hard to believe I've put almost 82K on the old girl. I'm hoping to get another 50K at least after I fix the leaking seals between the front diff and tranny that's causing the diff to leak gear lube into the tranny and do the timing belt again.

 

Just finished completely removing the ac crap from the engine bay.. Looks... Different

 

Came out to my car after school today to find an awesome door ding above my rear wheel on the drivers side.. Went and got an estimate and to paintless dent repair it, will cost me about 300$! Just a ****ter on my day.. Time to start looking for a daily driver so my subaru doesn't take the abuse from dumb school kids..

 

Or park out behind the white, im sorry west building by the lunchroom/ gym.. Sort of by those softball fields.. That might help prevent door dings, iirc there's some spots that you have to parallel park, that'd be ideal

 

Yeah, I'm pretty pissed off though! It may be time to change where I park though, but if I park over there id be scared of someone wrecking one of my bumpers... @Ryan FailRad

 

Drove to 2 different Holiday Stations to try and "zip" through the carwash...everyone and their uncle is out to get a carwash this morning I guess. Sometimes that pass is tough when I have the most stereotypical work schedule so every time I like to try to get a wash, there is a long line.

 

Lets see, these were a few days ago but here goes: Carwash, tranny flush, power steering flush, sucked the fluid out of the clutch reservoir and replaced that. Cleaned as much dirt out of my engine bay as I could. A couple weeks back was new pads, rotors, and replaced a seized caliper, AEM Dryflow air filter, then new tires. A couple weeks before that was timing. Tried to get my LCAs off yesterday, but couldn't due to a stripped hex bolt hole on the end links (didn't know that at the time), so I brought her to NF to have new poly bushings installed. Hopefully picking her up soon!!

 

Out of curiosity, how did you guys know the depth of the ice? I want to take my car up there, but I don't own an auger.

 

I tried to poke through with a steel rod, but once I was over a foot down I wasn't worried anymore. That was about 10' off of the landing with about 4" of snow still on top of the ice.

 

I bought a code Friday and I haven't used it yet due to the lines. I think I've driven past at least half a dozen times and it's always a 30+ min wait.

 

put pipes on the lgt the other day and dipped the grill black

 

Took the wind sail off yesterday.

I'll be machining new deleted tumblers and fuel rails in the coming weeks for the motor build.

 

You can machine tgv deletes?

 

I took my car for a little ride after getting the new parts installed. No leaks, Rattle's or funny sounds. Now to hopefully get in a new tune this week.

 

Sure can! I'm going to o-ring them as well. Credit Brian at NF for the idea.

 

Pm me if you think you'd be willing to make 2 sets

 

I do plan on making and selling various Suburu parts in the near future

 

Watched a 3/4'' chip in the windshield go to about 2 1/2' in a matter of five minutes... time for a new windshield. Luckily insurance covers that no problem!
