What did you do to your subaru today?

you make me :laugh:


In other newz: I pulled a beautiful saab 9-3 2.0T out of a (sort of) ditch today! He hit a forester and his last car was a 2.5rs there was a massive subaru orgy going on

 

last night, changed the transmission and rear diff fluids, (thanks Justin!)
and mounted 'unamused light bar'. :laugh:

 

that is awesome... they look fake in that pic... hah a

 

I put Prosport boost gauge today. The install gave me a little headaiche and frost bite. It's hard to do things in unheated garage
Also, I think I fixed my oil leak. Was not as easy as I thought. Will see if it worked. Had to use some sealing tape on the addapter that goes on top of the turbo where banjo screws in.

 

Put the blue kool aide in the engine, super coolant ftw!!!!!!

 

Is that going to drop my oil temp?

 

replaced the dash clock bulb and installed my center arm rest extension. That dash clock is something that you really miss when it's dark out!!! Thank you Beilknutz!!!

And I did some soundprooifng but there is a thread about that.

 

all done within last week
Replaced clutch, flywheel, pressure plate. (thanks for the help Matt, and Matt)
changed transmission fluid <scottys cocktail FTL, now just straight 75-90 much better
Changed oil
put vinyl on car for ice races (thanks Dave)
finally painted my grill

 

Unamused light bar = good

 

bought transmission fluid so I can do a flush tommorow.

 

finished swappin parts

 

You going to be driving it then tomorrow Wrex?

 

Finally put my new tires on the WRX (Goodyear F1s). Can't believe how bad my old all seasons were. Also, finished gathering everything I am going to need to do a full exhaust replacement this weekend. Up & Down-pipes as well as the catback, should be interesting.

 

put the battery on charge in the STI so when the early crew gets here for the ice race we can rip **** up!!!!!!!!!!!

 

nothing it wont start...going to try a few things here hoping it pops off.

 

jealousy doesnt begin to sum it up

 

Turn everything off before you start it when its this cold, heater, lights, radio, EVERYTHING!

 

yep i remembered to do that...

 

what is it doing em??? does it turn over??

 

It should start if you get someone to jump it, Your battery is probably a block of ice.

 

She's busy ... someone is here to give her a jump I guess??

 

I can cruise over other wise.. chet why dont you jump her... her car that is...

I had to jump start my work truck this am

 

No jumper cables, and well I'll see ya tomorrow evening

 

post in the right thread damn it

 

well we put some magic juice in and it wanted to start but then the battery finally died so we hooked it up to cables then tried for about 20 mins and it finally got going...so phew...hopefully it will start tomorrow too.

 

Go out and drive it around for a bit, bring it home, let it idle with everything off, but dont let the fans kick on. Drive it for at least 20 minutes, while its still daylight, with the headlights off.

 

Ether = "magic juice"

 

^^^ or replace the battery. cold does not kill batteries, heat does, but the motor is tougher to turn over when it is frozen in spot so everyone blames the cold for killing the battery.

 

Why'zat? I was used to having it there and needed it... haha. Eight-some bucks (or something) and two screws. Sounds like college... I mean, nothin...

 

She didn't listen to any of this.

 

Its not gonna start tomorrow if its that cold again. Oh well, " gentlemen, i wash my hands of this wierdness"

 

thats karma for dropping out of the ice race

 

just cause I want the extension.. I miss it from my WRX.. and dont want to spend the money at the moment as it isnt in the priority budget

 

Cold does kill batteries.

#1 - the output of your battery is lower when it's colder. That's why the "Cold Cranking Amps" of a battery are lower.

#2 - If the battery is low enough, and the electrolyte is weak enough, the battery can freeze, which almost invariably does damage to the internal connections. This is one reason it's a good idea to pull the battery out of a car that's being stored outside. But if you run your battery way down trying to start the car in the cold, it can then freeze and it's toast.

 

a healthy battery will never freeze. if your battery is frozen then it is either well on its way out, or a very low charge. low fluid level does not mean it will freeze, as long as that electrolyte is in good condition.

 

Brought it to see its new engine donor. :biggrin:

 

packed it for the Ice Races!!!!!!:yumyum::biggrin:

 

Put the stock BPV on ... runs like a champ!!!!!!

 

ummmmmmm I did not see any of this due to the fact I was not on mnsubi cause I was driving it around I suggest you go in some other thread and worry about something else like your own car...I drove it around..for the rest of day ran errands and seems fine, the battery was brand new last spring..edit: and I did let it idel for 20mins with no fans or lights or radio..

 

well it did not start but I was planning on that happening...I tried starting it this morning and the belts were squeaking bad and it just cranked as usual...battery is brand new so if it is bad maybe I can get it replaced under warranty.

 

Last night I used my Subaru to tow Jill's Blazer into the street and charge her battery with it.

 

well got it to start now that its warmed up a little bit..!!!

 

^^^ check to see if the case is bulging at all... usually overcharging does it but also if it freezes for some reason then it will expand too...

I would say take it to get tested... if it tests bad - WARRANTY
