    Yes I did. I did the tgv delete. And now its kicking my butt. The first time I put it together I pinched the top oring and the fuel pressure regulator. Fixed both of them. Now the rear drivers side is leaking. So I have to take it back apart. if I fail this time I might have to break out the big tools

    Almost got caught mudding at a dirt parking lot a few hours ago. Was on my last run around, when a cop was close by; I turned off my lights, and dipped the **** outta there.

    Were you in the east lot, or the lot next to the lake? The east lot gets pretty muddy.

    The lot next to the lake. It was still muddy as hell from our last rain, so I had a bunch of fun. Had to tow my friend's lifted truck out of it yesterday too.

    Stupid mother ****er. Do you know how much the club paid to have the rock laid down in that lot? Then a couple of dumb ****s like yourselves show up to ruin it. The club's money should be spent on bettering the club, not repairing your vandalism.

    I'm forwarding your posts and license number to the club management and the Wayzata Police Department. If there's damage to the lot, you're on the hook, numb nuts.

    If we're talking about the same parking lot, there wasn't any rock where I go.

    How bad are the police around the twin cities about exhaust? I'll be moving back up there in December after 11 years. Just running the Borla Hush setup on my hawkeye with a catted Stromung DP. May be equal length before I get on the road though. :devil:

    Sweet, figured I'd ask since it looks like you're going catless. Vehicle inspections or emissions happen? For registration or any such thing?

    I pulled out my air lines for the fronts and re-routed them today. Still not happy with where they are but it's better.

    Absolutely despise chrome, so I had a test run with Plastidip. Probably going to dip the brush guard.

    Oil change and installed AeroCatch Xtremes yesterday. I really need something a bit better at cutting small angles in my tool kit. ****ty angle grinder from Harbor Freight and Dremel didnt quite do it well enough for me.

    Not really my Subaru, but I picked up the 2004 Legacy tonys had for sale, got it towed home, and replaced the failed idler pulley, the other two idlers, the tensioner, water pump and timing belt. Putting insurance on it tonight, driving it to work tomorrow, oil change and it goes off to my mom to replace her ageing Saturn.

    Got the stock wheels on for the winter. Realized soon after I begun that I should've bought an impact wrench. Got it done anyways. took 2 hours.

    Also managed to do this, there was much screaming involved.

    Impacts are nice, but hardly necessary. How the f did it take you two hours?

    I changed my oil today, probably last one before I put the car away for the winter

    I stuck my breaker bar into another one and the other one had a retractable wrench and it swung out and hit the door.

    Cleaned up the BC coilovers I bought, Trying to decide if it would be better to leave the stock suspension on for the winter or swap in the coilovers now.

    Just leave the stock stuff on. You really don't want to subject those BCs to a Minnesota salt ridden winter. I go back to stock suspension every winter.

    I drove mine to work today as well, after a two month hiatus. The Machine shop was super busy when my motor was dropped off to be machined. Felt good though driving it again!

    So i'm installing roof vents on my house and my neighbor walks up and asked me to come meet his son. He tells me they are replacing driver lower ball joint on his 02 impreza. Guess he thought i knew what i was doing with having 5 legacys in my drive way. We torched it till glowing and the air hammer popped it right out. I love these cars sometimes you gotta wait for it. But easy to work on. He was so grateful. Subaru owners are so grateful!!!!

    used it to drive to take a look at another 04-05 outback sport for the wife. It's going to be hard to differentiate these things in the dark if she buys it.

    Finished installing the rally coilovers on my STi, along with replacing the ****ty eBay rear swaybar with a nice adjustable Cusco one. Now to start adjusting the preload and damping a bit for taste.

    FlatOut Suspension R5700 inverted coilovers to be specific.

    Vacuumed it out... put in the "winter box" with the spare blanket/emergency kit, and finished dipping the winter wheels. Won't put them on yet though. Maybe in a week or two. Also, got to drive a 2016 STi today. I have never driven an STi before, so that was exciting.

    1 set of all seasons, one set of winters.
    Both sets have tons of tread left too
