What did you do to your subaru today?

^ congrats just got mine done Wednesday. How do you like it?

 

Yeah I noticed how much smoother things are and also the mid range got alot better. My rumbles are nice maybe a little loud for some but cruising you can't hardly hear them. Alot of people don't beleave me when I tell them it is a 4 cylinder under the hood.

 

Got called into work at 2 AM so I gave the forester a wash and wax while I was there.

 

I'm taking it camping in few hours

 

Installed hood dampers, grounding kit and did the running light delete.

 

Performed the DIY headlight cleaning and removed the hideous orange thing in my headlight . But now my pass headlight is leaking because I didn't seal it well enough. Time to bake some bread again /sigh

 

rolled its shattered carcass off into a garage. she will live again - and quickly!

 

Did a close inspection of the drive train on the "new" Legacy. I don't think the timing belt has been replaced. Polished the headlights too.

 

new windshield...

 

2000 miles in 4 days, dirrrrrrrrrrty as sin, road construction FTL. Roadtrips in a luxury suv ftw however.

 

took the A/C and components off

 

finished the paint job on the car.... just got to button everything back up but here is some preview pics in my other post

Went up pikes peak and back down in a hail storm, freaky as **** trying to drive INSIDE clouds....great time however.

 

Was PP the destination of your trip? Where have you been so far or where are ya going? I love road trips?

 

Colorado rocks, eh? We can see Pikes Peak from our back yard.

 

So far we've been through the badlands, bighorn mountains, yellowstone, the rockies, and pikes peak.... tomm we'll be doing the train tour thing of some canyon, then a sweet drive home! tons of pics when we get back home and put them on the real computer.

 

Removed the accessport, added a GrimmSpeed bcs, and last but certainly not least got myself a bullwinkle tune.:yumyumthanks Nate) The car feels strong and has great response, I can't wait to play around with it a bit more

05 STi-Invidia catless tbe,walbro255,grimmspeed 3-port bcs and the obvious Bullwinkle tune

 

Put on a TWM short shifter. I really like how it feels now, much shorter and quick.

 

Nice #'s. What else has been done to the vehicle? Just installed my walbro fuel pump and 3port ebcs and looking for another bullwinkle tune soon.

 

^^I'll edit my first post to include mods. And thanks I'm real happy with the numbers but more happy just driving the car.

 

You bet man. Like I said, very strong numbers for a basic stage 2 STI . Hope you enjoy.

 

Picked up some magnetic vent covers from Home Depot and am now in the process of getting the numbers on them! Rally rally rally!

 

front brakes and rotors on the 02rs!

 

I was going to swap out the rear control arm on the XT6 so I could have a rear sway bar again, but I decided to go work on a rally car instead. RALLY RALLY RALLY!!

 

Not as adventurous as the rest of your news, but I took mine through the car wash for the first time, and I was elated to see that it didn't leak a drop. Love this car.

 

Tore apart the entire dash and ecu wiring harness... Looking for my power source thats blowing my FB11 Fuse in the dash... May have found it to be the fuel pump. Gonna unplug the fuel pump and try that.

 

got her all nice an clean to drive to firestone.... and get dirty again in 2 days!

 

trans flush.....so smooth now!

 

i had fuji do a quick inspection check on the wagon to prepare for my boundary waters fishing/camping trip next weekend. drivetrain inspection coming tomorrow. big thumbs up for that guy!

 

i painted 2 wheels to feel it out and see if i really want to go with the powder coat i am thinking..anyway its duplicolor metalcast red with some clear over the top , didnt turn out the best and the pic sucks, will get more once the sun is up , but i think i will go with the red anod. powder coat for sure , these look pretty close to the look i am after but a little darker , heres the crap pic for now...

 

so, I did a walk-around, with the lights on,
and noticed that my rear plate lights where out,
no big deal, changed the bulbs,
nothing.

I found a cut wire, and fixed it! No tickets!
must of happened while we where moving.
(cramming too much stuff, in the rear, lol)

so, ppl, check your bulbs.

 

these look awesome in person

 

Drove it again!

 

I like it!

 

finally swapped the gold RS wheels onto the impreza:



had a pleasant surprise when swapping the wheels, turns out a previous owner put some GR-2s on the rear. no wonder the back didnt feel terrible when cruising around. i am always amazed at what a difference new wheels make on a car. before the car looked very top heavy with the little 14s on there.
put some new wiper blades on today too.

 

Checked my tranny fluid today. Bone dry Guess it's time to whip up a cocktail.

 

jacked it up and started tearing the fuel system out again, this is the last time I will be upgrading lines. -12 and -10 better be big enough. opened a box of fittings that costed me $600 and started hooking them up.

 

i washed the windows and bought a gas cap and "new" drivers side wiper arm from the salvage yard.

 

rear break pads and rotors on the RS25,
and guess what, the license plate bulbs where out too!

 

Sat in the passenger seat for the first time while somebody else drove it. That was very peculiar.

 

I took apart the valvetrain to get it ready for some porting!!!!

worked on another Subaru. Replaced this gasket for a multi bolt one!!! lolz




This project I'll be supervising the build.
