What did you do to your subaru today?

It's really nice, brand spanking new. Was a little bumbed that they removed a chair lift from that side though. Bull run lift I think is what it was called.

 

So I changed my spark plugs on my 02 bugeye and snapped off one of the locking clips on a black clip. Is this a connector I can pick up from the dealer on any ideas. Right now I have it secured with you know it a zip tie. Yes it's holding but I know its broken and want it fixed.

 

Yes it was.

 

Where ya headed? It was hilarious when we had our rental truck to move. Only way to have it in the best range was when you're coasting or going down hill.

 

Looks like you could use a coaster to go with that mug!

 

Those coasters are amazing.

Drove from St. cloud to rochester and back to pickup a full motor and transmission for my 82 rabbit. Didn't even squat as much as when i had the 2jz shortblock sitting back there.

 

Import

 

Bought off a "Craiglist Special"

 

Something Shorty said a while back in a FS thread lol.

 

Yesterday I worked on the XT6.

Fixed the power steering leak. Pretty sure I fixed the Brake fluid leak.

Found a fuel leak. F*%#

 

Cleaned my steering wheel up!

 

Made a lightbar for a few leds.

 

This past week I had a Whiteline rear sway bar installed with Moog endlinks. I also installed some Rally Armor mud flaps!

 

Mine is working her way to an empty field for some stress relief

 

Moved mine to temp storage till I move into my new place and have somewhere to store her again.

 

Put a new doughnut gasket between downpipe and midpipe on the Leggy. Planned ahead and bought new nuts/bolts from Morries before tackling...glad I did!

 

Looking forward to installing this!

 

Outfront motor sports used to sell coil pack connectors for about $15 each. They sell subie motors to sand rail builders but do wiring work too. Only black ones though. They are easy to change. You use a paper clip to get the pins out. Google them and you may have to call or email them. I got one to fix my connector.

 

Thanks for the info. I just sent them an email. I will post up the info I get from them.

 

Got some new wheels!

 

Yes we do offer them. they come in both black or white. They are $15 each or a set (2 black and 2 White) for $50


You can either call the shop and order over the phone or we also have them listed on eBay and Amazon if you prefer.

 

Finally got the new wheels after three months of waiting. Forgot I even ordered them until I got the email saying pay up!

 

Rolled over 40k today in the FXT.

 

Replaced timing belt, water pump, idlers, thermostat (oem) on the 05 leggy last night. Whew...glad that's done.

 

Finished replacing the fuel filler neck, rear wiper motor/arm/blade on my "new" 97 last night, and pulled the radio and HVAC head unit for repair/upgrade. Hoping to fix the exhaust leak tonight, and then I can start driving it.

 

Just paid the subaru off! 02 wrx 226k miles and strong. Just need to throw in a new clutch and do the timing soon here. I'm hoping to hit 300k.

 

Love that paid off car feeling! Its just as rewarding as that new car smell feeling, if not more so.

 

Sorry Josh ...

 

I don't know much about those swaps, but could you have used a WRX plate instead if you wanted? Or is it too tough switching the MPH and RPM? Also, would you have been able to put in one from a '14+?

After seeing your side by side on the XT page, I see why you did this! This is 10x better! Nice work.

 

In 2011 the Touring model got a different gauge cluster. 1) it's like $300-500 depending on where you get it 2) you need to swap it at the dealer. Car won't run with unrecognized cluster since the cluster and keys are coded. 3) it's going to cost you to code keys to the new cluster 4) your mileage will be wrong 5) many say there MDS display no longer works after swapping any cluster (STI, WRX or 11+ FXT). 6) this cost 20 bucks and took 15 minutes ;-) overall I'm very happy. Oh and thanks!

I did look for an Impreza GT cluster for a while. The cost and loss of functions drove me away from the idea.

 

Wlgt what wheels are those? They look like later oe wheels? Powdercoat? Looks nice, and on the best looking legacy.

 

Thanks. Yeah, Its OEM wheels, just painted.

 

Cleaned the inside of the car out a little It's sure nice to have some warmer weather!

 

I added an Aux input to the stock deck in my '97 over the last few days, actually installed it in the car and confirmed that it works today. There's a plug on the back of the deck that allows an accessory CD player to be added. Tap 5 wires into that plug....and you can give it whatever signal you want.


I installed a panel mount rocker switch and audio jack in the center console. Works perfectly, and cost about $10
