    Good Job Brian/Subaru Motors Company :) what are you getting?
    (P.S. your going to need a dealers lic. Soon)

    My brother just crashed his 93' Impreza up in St. Cloud :(
    I’m lining up a trailer to pick it up tomorrow and see how bad it is, front driver side is gone and the air bag went off.

    Got my cobb shift knob as well so I put that on and took a pic for you guys. Man is this shifter nice! It's 40% shorter and it's 1.5'' shorter then the oem one. Plus the cobb shift knob's got to be about 1'' shorter then the oem one. This thing sets so low!

    Drove to Siren, Wisconsin (through Taylors Falls, of course) and picked up some kick-ass fireworks for Tony's party.

    Tis a secret until I pick 'er up ;)

    Once I get this one I'm done for a while.

    Sucks about your brothers car. If he hit hard enough to pop a bag then it's probably toast.

    I replaced my messed up Defi EGT probe yesterday with the one I have been waiting to get for almost 3 months. Had to throw in the new gauge too, just because it was so pretty.

    Just an FYI, don't deal with Vivid Racing...as that was the absolute worst customer service I have EVER dealt with.

    Umm, OK then... back on topic..

    I proved to myself today that I still under-estimate the speed of which oil shoots out after you take the plug out and got about a 1/4 of it on the floor before I adjusted the oil pan. Never fails.

    Went for another Legacy tuning drive and realized the boost controller problem was between the seat and the steering wheel. I had the spool threshold set too high causing troublesome boost oscillation at partial throttle.

    Now I can get on with setting it up for more Whoosh!

    Mine was civil, but also self-deprecating. I'll try to restrain myself from showing how noob I can be working on my car. Thanks for the save! :laugh:

    Just rebuild the thang. lol




    thx. It was just a matter of an length-challenged bar. Last time I fight a bolt like that. Leverage = magic.

    Once that axle nut came free it was a cake walk. Even got er done in time to go pick up the GF from work with her own car.

    Next its the valve covers on hers. Then maybe the wrx tranny into mine, but idk - might have to do the whole rear subframe to make it worthwhile, which means new bushings, which means it might wait even longer.

    I think its just from sitting, it only gets driven maybe 2 times a week, somtimes much much longer depending on weather.

    I killed a deer with my subaru last night. Unfortinalty it cost me my headlight, hood, fender and radiator support, still runs fine though. I'll post pictures when I find batteries.

    yeah, i think it may have been a smaller deer cause it went flying like Travis' deer but it wasn't that hard of a hit and it went down in the ditch and I didn't feel like going in after it to see it. The grossest part is that it pooped on my fender and it's stuck on there pretty good.

    oh yea, figured out what was making noise haha. I actually could not pull the rear wheels off the car at first - there was so much mud caked on that I had to chip some off before they would clear the rotors lol

    Put washer fluid in it.

    Hey, it's a momentous event, since it's the first time I've had to do it. Whatever washer fluid was in it when I bought the car back in November has been sufficient to get me through until yesterday. And I used Wynn's Screen Wash, so the water's even STi pink :biggrin:
