What did you do to your subaru today?

$15 isn't terrible. Pit pass at Cedar Lake was $30, and I got two laps and general admission for the evening. I'd definitely be down at $15.

 

Alright ill check the Elko schedule and let you know when the next one is or you could check it either way Ive got Saturdays off work so it works out

 

I put on some new Hella Sharptones and a Raceseng shift knob. Really happy with the Sharptones, as I was never terribly impressed with the high tone of the Supertones. Subimods V2 Hella harness is pretty fantastic, even if it is a bit expensive.

 

Ran into some giant cock yesterday.....

 

Working on a custom hitch cover.



Dual ball bearing support so it spins pretty freely, but I need someone to follow me and see if it spins while driving, lol...

 

Took er camping!

 

Oh yeah, forgot this thread, so I'm a few days late.

Bought it.

 

But today, I installed the JDM dual console armrest extension. Which can only be gotten in Japan, which is a PITA. Loved the one on my bugeye, so I ordered one. Japan post got it here in 4 days? Nice.

 

Finished up a new home for the gauges. I was planning on painting the bezel, but spent some time hand-brushing it instead, looks a bit better in person but you get the idea!

Decided to go with Teal before the snow comes

 

By extension are you talking the thing that raises the pad up? Been contemplating that but I've only seen em for a buttload of money (imo). Would be nice for a 6'6" Subie driver...

 

Had my hood scoop buffed out and headlights restored! Shout out to @subiexe for doing a rad job!

 

Installed horns and UEL header. Header was a crappy install to do due to poor quality, but sounds great. Huge improvement on my 3 leaks and rattle. Car is much more responsive and sounds pretty tame.

 

Picked up some new-to-me wheels for the winter...now to find some tires...

 

Yep. The JDM one that retains your stock armrest pad. moved it up about 2" and forward maybe 3/4", and gives you a second small cubby between the pad and the main storage space. The US version has a crappy plastic pad (I have a limited, didn't want to ditch the leather piece) and is much smaller.

I'm 6'0", but most of my height is in my trunk, so this really helps with the ergonomics of the car. You can buy it domestically from Subispeed, but it's crazy the prices. I bought from AVOJDM and even with shipping from Japan it was a lot cheaper (still ridiculously expensive for what it is, but...). http://www.avojdm.com/product_info.php?cPath=27_44_49&products_id=168

 

Seems a little backwards to me that a small, Japanese designed econobox, intended for small(er) people, would have an arm rest extension made available exclusively in the market where the small(er) people mainly live. You'd think it was an aftermarket add-on thought up by somebody else.

 

Stage 2 component install with help from Retreif.

Tuning by NFPerformance

 

Pulled the turbo yesterday and dropped it off for a rebuild today.

 

Rly

 

Is that being rolled on?

 

Wanna do another one...? I'm fairly certain I need my pre-turbo exhaust re-done, as I must've f'd something up during install when I put it back in the car.

 

Hey, I loosened a few nuts and bolts too.

 

I honestly didn't hate the install, other than using a sub par eBay part. That made it kinda suck.

 

Indeed you did.

 

Yeah, gallon of Behr and a few paint rollers. Turned out surprisingly good. Super bright.

 

Spent a couple hours replacing the rear rotors, pads, caliper pins and all that junk. Feels good to have some Akibono pads back there and the parking brake adjusted properly. I'll do the fronts in a couple weeks when I will be tearing apart the engine and refreshing it with the help of @toyotanos .

 

Installed a bunch of Venair silicone coolant and vacuum lines

 

Got my AP and flashed 93 Stage 1 OTS map... I like!

 

I traded it in

 

Used it for the past month to pick up and move A BUNCH of furniture and school supplies for a new charter that we are opening in St. Paul. (SHAMELESS PLUG: If anyone is interested in learning more about a K-6 Free Public Charter school in St. Paul's Midway, please PM me!)

 

Technically it was this last week and weekend, but DSS carbon fiber driveshaft and a eBay 22mm front swaybar went in. Hopefully get off my lazy butt this weekend and install the matching rear seat bar, and a 1' x 3' sheet of aluminum to protect the driveshaft from heat and rocks.

The volume increasing rear diff cover will hopefully be finished (finally getting anodized after being in my hands for a year) by this weekend and if so, that'll go in too, with the Primitive Racing rear diff skid plate with extra plating.

 

Converted my shop vac into an exhaust leak tester and found 3+ leaks, most of which are pre-turbo. So that's cool...

 

Our kids loved the charter school. My youngest son will be the first one to go through k-12 in his school.

 

Got it back from clear bra installation and tint.

Got rid of the fake CF. Thankfully Subaru ditched all but two pieces for the 2016. And the pieces from the Crosstrek swap in.

Also upgraded the stock speakers, which were pathetic.

 

Finished painting it. (big image: http://i.imgur.com/nTnEKzt.jpg )

Got some paint on the tires, and decided to just tape up the rust holes then paint over it. At least its shiny now
