What did you do to your subaru today?

parked it outside while I re-organized the workshop and cleaned the whole thing out... just got done... 3.5hrs later

 

I went with the Magnaflow. So far, I like it a lot.

 

Managed to fit two adult bikes into the back seat!

 

Finally removed the gawd-awful Village Subaru dealership sticker from Boston that's been on my car for 5 years (first owner didn't remove it), then washed it.

Took an hour + 1/4 bottle of Goo Gone to git er dun... yuk.

 

Drove it to work:biggrin:

 

Gave her the day off to sit in the sun.... rode bike to work!!!

 

Installed 4 new 225/40/17 dunlop direzza z1 star specs .... Super pumped.... Also, i think i totaly destroyed my rear diff.

 

Installed some spare audio stuff in the GF's Forester.

 

washed inside and out of all windows. rainx'd the windshield

 

i have that exact same deck Q.

i put new plug wires in my car, now, hopefully my damn cylinder 4 misfire will finally dissapear!

going to get a carwash now. because i got some dust on it . unlimited carwashes ftw

 

nothing! (yet)

 

Worked on tearing down the taxi.

Slow going. Got the rear diff and driveshaft out, but encountered some seriously stuck bolts, including the 10" long rear lateral link bolts.

Got the IC off, all the bellhousing bolts off. Tranny is nearly ready to drop.


The more I peel away, though, the more seriously concerned I get about the engine. The bumper beam is smashed into the exhaust cam, and the intake cam gear is broken.

Also, whatever the oil filter screws into is broken in some way, as its rattling around loose and I can't tighten the filter on.

And the pitch stop snapped. So, something things must have bent. I mean, if the front frame hit the engine and moved it enough to crack the pitch mount - I think I have to expect that some crossmember stuff - engine or tranny - is likely bent, but it doesn't really look like it from underneath, just the front metal frame rail stuff seems bent.


So, progress. .... but I'm nervous about the damage I'll find.

Especially that oil filter.....


Thanks to xxtraloud for coming and helping!!

 

Put a fresh coat of wax on mine, and waiting for my swaybars.:yumyum:

 

Took a buddy of mine for a hell ride in her.

 

pics soon and you all will see what I did to mine.......

 

Washed it.

 

Put some rally armor flaps on the ride rally rally rally

 

hurry up already jeeze!

rally rally rally rally! ftw!

 

tested it out at dctc with chung...

 

ordered NPR rings, ACL bearings, PCi timing belt set, GCM water pump, and ACN head bolts for my EJ22e, all off ebay for ~$300 after shipping.

then ordered full engine gasket set, power steering pump rebuild kit, and 2 key blanks (both with the old emblem, one with a light, one without) from 1stsubaru.com. boy do their prices kick ass :yumyum:


oh yea, and boxed up my heads to send them off to Delta :yumyum::yumyum::yumyum:

 

I wired up 4 hella horns today and they are hella loud

 

pics of my new flaps and tonys fresh rim steez

 

Talent!

 

blew it up yesterday and had it towed 40 miles home

 

Wow, what happend?

 

Changed oil

 

I think the waterpump went out and a blew headgasket. Anyone have any EJ shortblock they want to get rid of?

 

Re installed my coil overs, changed the oil with some rotella-t, replaced the radiator, installed new brake pads on all four corners, flushed the coolant, installed the new wheels and tires, drove it up to Jeff the Alignment Guy and had it cornerweighted and aligned.

So, basically rebuilt the autocross car.

 

drilled holes in the helmet to install the HANS anchors. Also installed the intercom

 

New front brakepads can take surprisingly long if you're drinking beer, watching a movie, and do everything while talking on the phone.

6 hours total = day well spent.

 

Drop it of @ Sun Control for window tint on Monday.....Looking for the best price for Swift Spec Rs spring for car....Any ideas anyone??

 

no problem! . I smelled like tranny oil for hours! LOL. I actually learned more in 4 hours that reading 10000 diy threads.

 

I adjusted the cat-back I recently installed. It bangs against the heat shield when I go over little bumps. I think the adjustment helped but did not eliminate the banging/rattling. I think I'm going to have to take a hammer to the heat shield.

 

went to pick up intercooler piping for my buddy's 2g 6bolt DSM and we ended up at Flatlines house.

 

pulled the turbo uppipe down pipe intercooler and just waiting till tmw to start putting it back together new 5td 16g larger tmic and the car already had after market up and down pipes so we use them again then off to rs for a tune

 

I worked on my JDM STi hid's. I got my parts in the mail so I worked on finishing up the one headlight that I had pulled apart. Here are some pic's. I still have to get a pnp for the lights yet and one for the leavers.





The oem shield for RHD is on the left and the new shield so that they shine for LHD in on the right.

 

Detailed the **** outta my car.. its like a mirror

 

Thank you for taking the time, effort and going to the expense to do it right.

 

Summers are on!

 

might go finish clay baring it and put a coat of polish on it.

 

yeah I was gonna post something then I saw that
