What did you do to your subaru today?

^ sweet!

 

WRX1, that is awesome.

 

very cool....night shots needed for sure

 

:cheers2: i agree, i love this stuff. i usually do all my windows and the lights too just cuz i go OCD with it.

 

LOOKS GOOD RUSS, it hides your sexy grill tho..

 

just for you.

I just installed the rear wiper switch!

 

yeah I have 2 of them.. one is really beat up as I couldnt track down some covers so I welded without.. yep.. its toast..s till works but soon..

then I bought a new one for my TiG welding...

I think I got the 9100XX cant remember exactly... jsut looked on a site and looks like it

 

hks ssv bov

 

Stopped being able to drive it. Had a bunch of bone shuffled around in my shoulder.

 

Just got my car and changed the oil lol

 

All new front brakes, dirver side hub, baering, abs sensor, spindle, axle.... I think that's everything. Oh, and beat the piss out a it! lol!

 

What kind of brakes did you get?

 

I had jdm 4pots and went back to the oem 2pots with new rotors and pad's. I had one of the 4pots lock up on me about a week and a half ago on the way back from my rents place. The 4pots fine it just needs new seals and it's good to go. I don't have the time right now to mess with them so I just went back to the old set up. I would a got some nice rotors but my car was undrive able so I just got what ever I could get on the spot. I wish it was a bbk!

 

Didn't do this too persay, but I ordered a Cobb CBE! I'm afraid the mod flood-gates may have just opened.

 

I'm in the same pool as you. I want a BBK but I can't afford them until mid september, and my pads are pretty low now so I don't know if I should get new ones or just wait until a BBK.

 

Changed the oil.:biggrin: 176,401 miles on it.....still going kinda want it to die so i can have a good reason for a swap.....:yumyum: :biggrin: 2.5 rs to a wrx ideal STI, but ill seddle for a subie engine that has a turbo.

 

^^^ Looks good Russ.

 

I brought my car to raymonds auto body to get all fixed up and since I felt bad for smashing the front end, I bought it a new turbo

 

fixed my ac low pressure line with some of Billy Mays' Mighty Putty...lets see how they hold up...

 

had full exhaust put on, header back.

 

Oil change

Looking at changing my oil for the first time myself

 

Popped in my new air filter. Boy, that's a lot harder job than it needs to be when it's 90F out and there's no breeze. Topped up the intercooler spray bottle while I had the bonnet up, since the light's been flashing up when I go round corners. Speaking of which, if my car is über JDM, why does the warning light come up "I/C Spray" instead of some Japanese characters I shouldn't be able to read ?

This thing supposedly uses the same filter material that the WRC cars use. The old filter was a standard paper one. New one was cheaper than a K&N and doesn't need oiling, so it won't screw up the MAF sensor.





Stuart.

 

I did an oil change and changed out the pads/rotors on all four corners.

 

Backed into a poorly placed () cement pole at a gas station in Hillsboro on my way back from the Perfect 10 show in Fargo. Was only going a couple MPH in reverse but it made a god-awful noise when I hit it. Expecting disaster, I pulled it forward and got out only to find there was nothing but a very small scuff on the rear bumper. Last time I ever let a pole jump me like that again.

I <3 My Subaru.

 

Great choice! I love the Cobb exhaust on my wagon. Used to think it was a little loud at first, but that's because I drove a Cadillac before the WRX. :biggrin:

 

I did this in a parking lot, but into a wooden telephone pole. Also made a horrible noise. I was so embarrassed I didn't get out to check it until I got home, but there was nothing there. If you look closely you can tell the paint flexed a little, but that's about it.

 

Not today, and not yesterday, but last week and I haven't been on the forum since --

Drove her through the badlands, the black hills, and up Pike's Peak! :biggrin::biggrin::yumyum:

 

Cleaned up the 2 quarts of oil that poured out onto our parking lot and then removed the gasket from the old filter that got stuck and pinched when I changed the oil yesterday (doh!). Probably should've ran the car sometime before this morning when I needed to head to work. Cleaning up after that mess isn't the funnest thing to do on a Monday morning.

 

Discovered a brand new but fraying timing belt makes a rhythmic clunking sound

 

Scary. Defective belt ya think or did something else fubar it?

 

GOT THE ENTIRE EXHAUST TRANE HOOKED UP!!!

I also installed the intake manifold, there are alot of vacume lines I am unsure about though...

 

Ya know that probably wouldn't have happened if you'd used the jack you gave me.

:biggrin:

 

I'm working the defective line and already called the warranty rep.

 

Gonna do an oil change and a trans flush on the B9. FTW.

 

30k service done over at Dave's garage with Tall Dan and Carl. Rear diff. fluid, coolant, oil, and plugs replaced. Everything else checked-out A-OK. Hopefully posting here again tonight with boost controller, and possibly headlamps/taillamps baked and blacked-out.

 

definitely want to see how this turns out/looks on a red hawkeye....

 

Boost gauge installed, with a little help from the Plumber! So far, maxed out to 14 PSI, but can't remember what gear or RPM I was at while taking the ramp onto 100 north from Excelsior.

Tomorrow, headlight baking time!

 

intresting combo.


I figuered out my vacuum lines (I think??) pksublime is going to help me with pics tonight!

I installed the tmic backets, finished up the fuel lines, tonight I have to splice the injector wires for the ecu, inatall the intake box, and tmic.


What is the best way to get the e70 out of my gas tank?

 

That doesn't sound good... Hope everything's cool?

 

No good man, I feel for you. My wife had SVT, a total of 4 incidents where she ended up in the ER, twice in an ambulance.

She went through with the procedure about two years ago, where they freeze/burn the bad electrical connections in the heart, and has not had a single event since. She's been very happy with it.

The procedure was a bit scary, that you have to be awake for it, and while you are sedated, I still can't imagine going through that. They do offer a nice support line where you can talk to other people that underwent the procedure to help quell any fears, and she participates in that, and has encouraged two other people to get it done as well.

 

Russ,sorry to hear about that.I hope shes doing better.
