What did you do to your subaru today?

seems like just yesterday I was doing 100 rolling 100k on my wrx....

 

I must drive my car alot! Cause I hit 84k not that long ago.

 

put some 02 wrx front seats in the wagacy today... w00t!

 

fixed my exhaust. now the tip comes flush with my bumper! which is a good thing.

 

Found it leaking from the water pump, its not a bad leak, but It will need to be replaced, springtime, i'll toss a t belt in it too.

 

I transfered all of my stuff from my WRX to the new ride. I remember how excited I was after I got the WRX because I had wanted one for so long. I didn't know it was possible to be more excited to own a car. I absolutely love it. Here it is in the cluttered garage.:

 

^^^ make sure your shelves are strong this time....

 

HA HA HA. Yes.

 

New winter tires! I went with the Michelin Primacy Alpin after much research and talking to a few of the techs at Discount Tires. They ride nice, I'm going to take them to the lake about 2 blocks away and test them out a little later.

Edit: The new tires made a huge difference on the lake. (I went out on the ice with my original tires) The grip was good on the packed snow and passable on the pure ice areas. It's nice living 2 blocks from a lake with a public access.

 

Sunday I got her back from Curly! I went filled her up and gave her a good bath!

 

I drove it. It really needs a bath, I feel like a horrible parent. lol

 

haha I never looked at it that way

 

Dave/I replaced all 4 struts on the 92 Legacy last night. New(er) struts, replaced one bad tophat also, newer 15" goodyears...seriously, this is one nice riding vehicle now.

 

Took it for a drive along the coast road from Limassol to the Birthplace of Aphrodite.



Daren't take any stills of the car yet, since it is still in dire need of a bath. Cut me some slack, we've had water rationing here for more than a year ! But we did get a video out of the front window. Check The New Stoobaru thread for that.

Stuart.

 

Went and used my friends hoist while he is out of town, changed the oil and did a lot of ice removal around the front suspension. Turns out the new rubbing sound was ice rubbing on a halfshaft. Twenty two below temps and 15" of new snow will do that

I'm doing wingless the correct way,
today was welding of the holes and bondo.
(wing holes, badge holes and key hole, lol)
yeah.

 

that'll be sexy when it's done!


I looked at it, laughed a bit at how ridiculous the whole thing is and then helped emily install her limited stereo

tomorrow is rally light re-wiring. probably work on the rear suspension and try to find that gas leak too

 

ata boy!!! wingless legacys ftw:biggrin:

 

Changed my oil and topped off all my fluid levels.

 

Drove it to work (which I don't even remember, too tired) and now it has 1/4" of ice all over it. :emo:

 

rolled it over 123456 miles

 

are you keeping that thing now or what's the deal

 

selling it and getting something else is kind of on the back burner with the new roadster developments.

 

bmw m roadster?

 

no no, Datsun roadster... but with a twist

 

played in my backyard for a quick minute...

Actually drove it. Which doesn't sound like much, but it's Sheen's old '06 that has finally come back from the dead. Hasn't been on the road in over a year due to sudden impact with tree.
Since I've never even worked on a Subaru before, I am proud of myself. I had the heads redone and have added only a couple small mods. But did almost all of the work myself including engine removal, timing belt and pulleys, intake tear down and tgv delete, clutch, all wiring, installed new front sheetmetal and lights, turbo and exhaust, ......
So now it is assembled, running, licensed, and insured as my dd. Thanks to a few of you guys I solicited advice from.

 

Congrats!

 

i bought it lots and lots and lots of new toys!!! and they are sitting in my room and in the gf's subaru. now i just need to get a new heater for the garage!

 

Do tell?

 

COUGH COUGH COUGH

 

Then you do this **** and troll, seriously get off my ****!

 

:wavey:




I will get off your (whatever the intelligent four letter word was..... was it MUM!) when you STFU and stop telling everyone what to do in threads...

 

replaced my rubber fuel line connections, put on a new belt. Found a slight rip in my gimmick turbo inlet:hsugh:..fixt though

Oh, and dumped in new transmission fuild. Oh my does it shift like butta!!!

and then went to a nice place and showed sarah the secret of cornering fast in the snow with LFB She practically crapped her pants:laugh:

 

^iv been practicing lfb as well..cleaned my headlights and filled up with washer fluid.

 

got the car aligned, helped andrew with his gimpy transmission, and aimed the new lights. the 700ff with hids actual focus quite well. the 4000's with hids just project forever. let's just say, it's all very bright

 

better get that cleaned if you are still wanting to sell it.... oops sorry off topic.. waits for chethammer

 

did you go to jeff??? I am thinking of paying him a visit..oh and my dad also tried to see if fixing the fuel lines ourselves is worth it.

 

nah, just brought it to firestone, I'll have the suspension all apart again in a few weeks

 

you have the smell too???

It's worth it and can be done for cheap, just takes a few hours. (You have to have a aftermarket inlet hose though.) But it's still mucho cheaper.

 

I do has the smell and the aftermaket inlet hose...just no heated garage...and work weekends LOL.

 

PM me if you want it done.

 

I'd help you too if you wanted em. the working on weekends kinda sucks though

 

unamused 'light bar', is unamused. (pics later)
