What did you do to your subaru today?

I really like what you did. Good job keeping with the theme. Did you give the tail lights any more thought?

 

well done!

 

Today, I bought a clay bar kit and did about 3/4 of the car. That stuff works great. Also bought one of those power ball deals that you put in a drill to clean all of the friggen brake dust off of the hardest wheels in the world to clean. Too bad they look so cool.

Got my MNSOC card today and my sticker. Can't wait to put it on my car, where do most of you guys put your sticker?

 

lol, it finally went, huh?

 

somewhere on a subaru. :biggrin:


I usually see back window (like mine) or side window (like mine).



Today i went to MNTK and picked up my snowboard rack (install pending). I drove home to find 4 winter wheels next to my garage. the tread looks beefy... and i have yet to see the black steelies under the cardboard. still not sure if i am going to paint them before saturday.... black will work, but i am leaning towards lime green. we'll see how friday night goes.

 

Lime Green? Hmm... Me thinks me likes.

 

Went from this




















To this!

 

is that bad to spray paint a intercooler or does it not effect it at all?

 

I put my sticker on the hood scoop!!!!

 

like putting rotas on a subaru, or an sti wing, or -------------- (fill in)

that every Subaru owner does thats original



the best reason for Hella Horns is someone who asks what are those things and as they bend down to look at them... BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

yep got a class mate yesterday in fact.. ha ha h ah


also when some psycho chick flashes her high beams then cuts you off, slows down aka slams on brakes, you can ride her ass (literally 1-2m) for a mile with high beams on and hellas blaring constantly... (yep last memory my mum had before leaving MN to Australia)

 

Reading pwnz shibbs.

 

I've always wondered the say thing?

 

Tons of ppl paint them black all the time, they dont seem to have any ill effects, the stock intercoolers on JDM imprezas and legacies were painted black...I think you'll be fine.

 

Thanks! I've thought about it but I'm not sold on red overlays. I'm looking for other ideas. I've thought about blacking out the tails like the following pic but am not ready to jump off the cliff of crackin' the tails yet to do it.

 

anybody know the answer to that? is it bad to spray paint a intercooler?

 

not today... but tuesday i got my HTA68 in... hoping to get tuned tonight!

 

Read my last post. Its fine.

 

picked up cans of paint that come out in a mist form and require you to shake them..... and started to color my winter wheels. primer is looking good... too bad i am not sticking with white.

 

got my 20mm RSB today

 

Added another Subaru to the collection today, I'll try and get some pics up tomorrow. Hint, it's not a 4 cyl NA.

 

Sweet...let me know how it goes. I am doing the same thing on Sunday!!! :biggrin:

 

Picked up a new snowboard and some boots from the FL Project in it today.

 

Sweet! I've had one sitting in my room for over a year. I'm too lazy/cheap to buy the mounts and endinks though. Do you need different stout mounts to put yours on?

 

no, stock endlinks will work, and as for the bushings, just hollow them out with a file or dremel until they fit the bar, no more cash needed , but the guy i got it from sent the bushings and bushing mounts with it too, its an STi bar so i need to mount it to the outside of the links, but it doesnt effect the function at all, and it was the cheapest one i could find.

 

Well I put my car back to stock last night so I can trade it in for a 2010 WRX

 

You wont regret it. Subytek put down some amazing numbers just stage 2 and intercooler.

 

After you hollow out your bushings lmk how it works.

 

word. I've been seeing stage 2 GR wrx's putting down more power than my stage 2 sti so that kind of made up my mind. Along with losing 80k miles haha

 

ive got the STi bushings so i dont need to hollow mine out. but theres a couple guys on RS25 that have done it and say it works fantastically.

Your sti the wingless one I see all the time in monticello?

 

Yep thats me. Cant make up my mind between the sti wing and wingless so i kept both lids and switch back and forth at will

 

unbelivable... But true...however, down the road you will wish you had a 6speed after making lots of power so i would go with may be an STi instead of a WRX.

But how do the WRX's make over 260whp at stage 2 or so yet they come stock with 225 or 265hp?

 

Nice, I have the stupid loud red impreza, and the silver tribeca with sti emblem

 

Did a Duty C solenoid on my sisters car in four hours. Not bad considering the lack of a swing-arm. 3/8" impact wrenches and big compressors are ftw...

 

put my swaybar on today
its a huge difference.
i recommend everyone that still has the stock RSB on their GC to do this mod.

 

What'd you put on? Whiteline?

 

STi actually.
fitments a little weird, but i got it to fit and it works fantastically.

 

i went ecto-cooler

 

/\/\/\ sweet!!!
I think it would look better with some mudflaps though, just a thought.


I lubed up my rsb, changed oil, fixed the hood latch and deactivated the defrost AC switch.

 

removed the heads. taking a break and then back off to put ARP studs and cometic hg's back on

 

did you just widen out the stock bushings??? pics?

 

ya, i actually drilled them out with a 3/4 inch routing bit haha.
and the STi bar has some fitment issues with the endlinks so i recommend a WRX bar, not STi.

ill get pics up tomorrow.
i forgot to take them during the day, and now its dark, so yeah, ya get the point.

 

I deleted my intake silencer today. Sounds pretty cool. Wooooshhhhhhhh

 

gridlock mudflaps are pending. i hope to have them before December.
