:naughty:alright, as of last night...two new(and first) performance mods!:naughty: Injen CAI and Borla Reps really need a stromung axleback now...*sigh
looks awesome prince! you should get somebody in the club to make you a custom magnaflow setup for half the price of the stromung! Just thought. i had a magnaflow one made by toasterboy and it sounded great. I had my bottom two wisdoms pulled in boot, they gave me motrin afterwards. Doc was a jerk and I ended up with dry sockets and an infection that lasted 2 weeks, yum. this doc who did these top two was a full blown surgeon, and she was reaaaaally good. She threw a gel on before she pulled them which numbed everything but the roof of my mouth for the shots she gave me. I got 8, 4 in the roof of my mouth (ouch). Then she just yanked them in about 2 minutes flat, threw in some "staples" and gave me gauze and the prescriptions. I had a little bleeding for 20 minutes, took the gauze out and took my first vicadin.
would it sound really low and rumbly like the stromung? i actually missed one on ebay, went for 180 shipped..
^^^whatever you decide...you should wrap your front pipes. I stuffed my car with crap tonight , getting ready for Nemadji 2 rally
wrapping them helps distribute heat properly right? i thought i read it was a bad idea in places like MN because salt gets stuck in there and makes it eat away realy fast...
Sad day... If you guys ever need help with anything... let me know so i can say i'll come help and then never show... Ha As for me... I added a few more things to my winter checklist.
Drove to work at 7am and got pulled over for my loud exhaust ( can they do that?) Go pull over a ricer! Told the cop I had a silencer in the mail on the way and got let go with a warning.
oh yes sur they can do that. I got pulled over for my Apex GT Spec...yeah, it was loud as hell. When he was questioning my exhaust he told me to rev my car while he stood behind it and "tested" it. I reved a couple times to 4K real quick. He told me to quit reving like I was in a kitty parade and wanted me to redline it. Well, needless to say I didn't rev it to redline and man was he pissed at me. Yeah, got a ticket right there. I had it dismissed a couple weeks later though
went to sears, to pick-up my new tool chest. (It almost didn't fit into the legacy, good thing the rear seats are out, lol)
Had a new windsheild installed at Ed's Collision and Glass in Maple Grove! They did a great job and I had the car back in about 4 hours. New window installed "out the door" was $293.08. For those of you without glass coverage... Info: Ed's Collision and Glass 10758 County Rd. 81 Maple Grove, MN. 55369 www.EdsCollision.com No more cracks-YAY!
Drove it through a mudpit to get to my driveway, with bald RE92's. Was a great feeling knowing that I was the only one on my block that didn't park 3 blocks away and walk. AWD FTW!
The work looks pretty good, except for the massive amounts of very fine swirls marks in my quarter panel and trunk. They're going over it next week with a soft sponge buff. I hope it comes out for their sake.
Removing swirls is all about technique and touch. I was the master back in my Abra days. Black car with runs, orange peel, swirls? ...no match for my technique
Like I said, I hope they are able to get it back out. I may need to look some people up if they suck though.
I got under my WRX wagon with wrenches & sockets for the first time and upgraded my rear sway bar!!! I love the difference in handling. Kinda makes me want to go a lot further with suspension mods. Unfortunately, $$ are lacking.
I want a rear sway! I installed my rear lock support differential bushings, perrin shifter bushings, and replaced my transmission fluid with some scotty's cocktail! Havent drive it much yet, but the transmission is a lot smoother. Oh, and i took a million pictures so Ill make a writeup on both of those installs later so they can be posted wherever is suitable.
tranny, rear diff, and engine oil all changed... front strut tower bar on I would like to thank the sumo wrestlers at the local subaru dealer who put my oil filter on... took two hours, uncountable trips to walmart (to find the right filter wrench cap thing), dropping the screwdriver we tried using to spear and pull it into the oil pan about three times... Oh well, should be easier next time, now. :laugh: Car's much smoother, too. Thanks for the help, Rexwagon!
Don't know if it counts as doing something to your Subaru but we bought an 09 forester for my wife this afternoon. No turbo though
Put my front skid plate on, didn't get my rear sway on ... figures, the one wrench in the set that's missing... Went for a nice cruise down some gravel roads, and remembered that I really, really need to get new tires.
drove it a little bit. Still waiting for FSB bushings to come in...what the heck! haha Looked up quite a few parts that will be going on soon as well.
Get the **** and I'll take care of it. luckily the 4EATs have a drain plug on the oil pan, a rare thing on auto transmissions. I can drop the fluid and replace what comes out, I forget how much it is, it says in the manual. I did this to my auto trans a couple times. it doesnt replace ALL the fluid in there but its a good 2/3 of it, well whatever isnt in the torque converter. in exchange, you will install OSX on my Gateway :biggrin:
changed my insurance over to storage tonight. Gotta leave my sooby parked for a moooooonth. noooooo :emo:
Went to tintmasters to line up a brake jarb. (hawk hps pads + super blue fluid) Picked up some wrenches.. going to try tackling the swaybar again, now with the right tools lol! Still wrestling with the huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge culture clash between myself and the TM crowd, though.
The other day I changed my Tranny fluid and Engine oil. put some Amsoil severe gear in and Some ENEOS oil. The eneos is awesome. This was the 4th oil change with it and it never stops amazing me. It does not seem to disappear as M1 does, and I get a huge increase in gas mileage with it. The engine is also quieter and smoother running. Its definatly worth the money.
