What did you do to your subaru today?

LED's Thanks Bill!!!!

 

^ looks nice. Especially liking the tails.

 

thanks! The tails, however, are still the regular bulbs. :biggrin: I did the plate lights, though.

 

awww .. no wonder they look so evenly lit. That's what I was admiring. Still cool though. One of these days I'll get around to mine.

 

looking good teddy bear

 

Just did a good ole midnight exhaust swap back to the STi catback. The 3" one is alittle too loud for day to day driving (it sounds amazing though). Also I have more power w/ the STi catback on (what I was tuned w/). Dont worry though my 3" exhaust will come out again, but for special occasions.

 

Reflashed my 04sti with Cobb launch control and ffs. Super fun, but i feel like im gunna break something. Oh well, I'll have fun until then!

 

Just put on the Oswald Performance Subframe yesterday. It definitely feels more solid around corners. I did a little four wheel drift (on a closed road ) and it was alot more responsive.

 

Is this the longest thread on MNsubaru yet? I just want to be able to claim baller status for starting it.

 

changed out summer to winter tires and painted the calipers and rotor tops

 

double post

 

cleaned up so wiring, going to load it up Thursday for its trip to the cities to pull the motor.

 

I did this last weekend, I've just been too lazy to put any pics up...

Threw on the new Ray's Gram Lights


Painted the jdm turbo sway bar the girliest pink I could find


And threw it in along with the new Whiteline front end links

 

Built/installed motor over the weekend, very tired now

 

Installed my wing stiffies over the weekend

 

Sam (wakesurfer1) and I washed my RS from 8 pm till 12 am last night.

soak -soap wash-dry- clay bar with detailer- wax problem scratches- buff- rewax scratches- buff- wax whole car (including inside the doors)- wait 10 min (while RainX is applied to all windows) - buff, lightly mist car with water - dry (to remove any excess lint and wax build up)- shop vac whole interior - drive into the night four hours later, happy.

 

hey im austin (newbie) but today i took apart my headlights in an atempt to black out the housing and the paint i got didnt stick to the edges so they turned out black with a lil of the reflector showin thru on teh edges but looks way cool IMO ill post pics when theyre all done

 

Upgraded my 2.5rs front brakes for wrx front brakes. Now if only I weren't so slow...

 

Changed out the brake pads on the brembos..

I stop fast again!

 

I put the spare on because there was a nail in the front tire. That makes for 3 punctures on 2 tires in a week! All on the drivers side!

 

Changed the oil and wiped down the engine bay.

 

Washed, clay-barred, waxed her yesterday. Buttery smooth now.

 

^^^^ did that crap come off your wing from the caution tape?

 

Sure did! Tree sap still there in spots though, and that ugly tar spot on the right side of the bumper.

 

Need to polish the tree sap out... possibly with compound.

Most tar should come out with good clay bar. try a heavier grit clay bar or even an all-purpose one like from clay magic. slowly work your way up towards harsher products if just the clay doesn't take it out. i.e. try a cleaner wax with a soft applicator pad. If that doesn't work try a medium cut polish (with the proper pad). If that doesn't work try a heavy cut polish (with the proper pad). If that doesn't work, use compound and a heavy cut pad to get it out (I like menzerna power gloss compound with something like a lake country cyan or DAS orange pad).

 

Picked up new pads and rotors. Diversified Cryogenics FTW.

 

Picked up some group n engine mounts from the tonka boyz and did a few dyno pulls. After ditching the cobb tune for one from bullwinkle with a grimmspeed bcs I "think" my best result was 291 hp 350 tq:yumyum: up from 285/297. Graphs will be posted when I get em.

 

I drove mine for the first time in over a month!!!

 

I knew you had issues but what did happen? Any new upgrades?

 

Had a cracked ringland, so I now have forged pistons. Also did a few "while it's all apart anyways" things

 

Thats the way to do it.:yumyum:

 

As promised a few posts back. Before-05 STi Invidia tbe, k&n filter, cobb ots tune.


After adding Grimmspeed 3 port bcs and bullwinkle tune.

 

Installed winter wheels and changed oil.

 

hacked up the grille on the xt, and replaced it with mesh... still gotta paint it all black though

 

Koyo radiator, Extra-S in the gearbox, Adjusted rear swaybar to as winter friendly as it's going to get, put the skidplate on.

 

install roof rails and pluck leaves from everywhere............ think i will have to get the rails painted black. any suggestions?

 

Installed 02 WRX struts and springs in my 99 Impreza L. For anyone who is wondering if this is possible, it is. It was very easy to do. The only thing that I had to modify was the brake lines. The WRX struts do not have the same brackets to hold the brake lines in place. Zip ties worked great. My car now sits quite a bit higher and rides WAY better. My old struts were not doing anything. I was pretty much driving on springs.

 

Zip ties + brakes = FTL

 

Faster Than Light? :biggrin:

 

got my hybrid swapped 02 wrx back today and now just need to get it tuned!!! god it sounds sexy!!

 

I stripped a brembo caliper bolt:unamused:

it was bolt number 8 too, the last one.

i am frustrated and tired.
