What did you do to your subaru today?

Only if I had the time and was not still farting around with the shocks n springs... I would get an alignment...

 

LED's are solid plastic and if a rock did perfectly hit one to break it, it would cost pennies to replace.

 

Gave it a wash and wax. I'm sure it will rain now and this will have been point less!

 

Ordered mud flaps for it

 

Today I learned that Tein coilovers do NOT last for 70k miles. I'm just very glad I learned this in the garage and not on the road.

I went to adjust the height, and as soon as I tried to loosen the lock ring on the front, it just crumbled. I checked the back and the lock ring was already missing and the main ring that holds the spring in place was corroded, cracked and deformed. I was one big bump away from breaking it.

Anyway, looks like tomorrow's project is swapping the stock suspension back in.

 

See, this is why expensive parts are expensive.

 

Thanks for the rain! :laugh:

Speaking of which - my car is getting washed right now.... by nature.

 

Wanna push it off the bluff on the back side of Valleyfair ... ohh this isn't "what do you wanna do to your Subaru today"

 

Went drifting thru the shop here @ Lexus.

Apparently muddy Z1s + a soaking wet tile floor equals very little traction. :laugh:

 

c'mon, those are beefy cast aluminum perches that were on steel strut bodies, what's not quality about that? :laugh:

 

Took it on a road rally.

 

How was that road rally? I was thinking about doing it but then I didn't for some reason.

 

I got the front two struts replaced tonight. Had to replace two wheels studs in the process. The bottom perches on the teins basically crumbled in my hands when I got them apart. Surprisingly though the tein struts themselves are still fine, good gas charge even. I'm dreading the rear struts, those bolts are a pain and judging from how tight the fronts were, it's gonna be bad...

 

almost finished wiring in my GEMS dccd controller, fixed some broken skidplate mounts and created some new ones, reinstalled the bumper beam, attended to some wiring on our kill switch. tomorrow i need to fill fluids, put the bumper cover back on, connect power and ground on the GEMS and lower it down .5" - then we'll be about set for nemadji 2

 

Get yourself some new lateral link bolts before you start. Its worth the $21 each. I won't take take the rears off a 2 year old car without them. Two years ago, my mom's '03 Forester needed it...




I started on a true AC delete. Removed evaporator core, filled a couple holes and cut the piece to fill in the hole on the firewall, all hellaflush like.



Also, run away from those Teins. Actually, sprint....

struts

This morning scuba steve put replacement struts on my LGT. I would like to give him bumps, for doing a good job.

 

Missed the Mayhem party to install new axle boot, change the oil, change filthy air filter (if haven't done so after the last RallyCross, do it NOW) and installed electronic boost controller. Now I have to work on setting it up.

:yumyum: Sex.

 

Burned the clutch somewhat showing a couple friends what she's capable of in a Kmart parking lot at like 1:00 am.

 

Sheen how many catbacks has that car seen??? What you have now though is by far my favorite mellow shooter availible. Looks like they etch there logo in it now pretty sick!

 

I had the driverside rear tire repaired on the 93 impreza, it was a real bitch trying to get that SOB off those hubs.....

I also saw what condition all the suspension bushing are in... now I'm scared to drive it.

 

Put in a new K&N drop in filter in it.

Sheen what cat-back is that? Its sexy!

 

P&L Motorsports Race catback

 

Sheen you got whiter all of a sudden...

 

Yup! :laugh:

 

installed my $15 short throw shifter today

 

kicked the tire because I was mad at her

 

Took off the leggy head lamps and buffed them and painted with a tint black and blue pearl. Turned out alot better then i thought!!! AJ99civic helped, thx again.

post numero 4016

 

last night i got the car all buttoned up after changing the timing belt and water pump and all the pulleys and.... and ....

 

Went out for a drive to work on setting up new boost controller on the Legacy. Had the HAM radio on to make sure nobody called the cops (only allowed to do this in a car if you have a HAM radio license). I never used the same road twice just to be safe, WOT is bit noisy.

I was out on Monday "testing" as well and coworker said she heard me from her house over a mile away, but it didn't bother her. Sometimes living rural has its benefits
