What did you do to your subaru today?

why didnt you just use the 20mm sti bushings???

 

they are wayyy different then the GC bushings and dont fit into the GC bushing mounts and the STi mounts are way different than the GC mounts so i just drilled the GC bushings and it works great.

 

changed fuel filter,fixed wiring issue that kept my touch screen and cig lighter from working,new windsheild wipers,and changed burnt out tail light bulb

 

got a few things hooked up to my remote start system today. now when I start the car I can turn on the rear defrost and the heated mirrors and heated wiper parking. Cleaned and re-lubed the caliper slides on the front calipers, and cleaned the car.

I love fall.

 

Put my new 17x7 summer wheels on yesterday to try them for a day.

Confirmed that I will not be keeping the 215/45/17 used RE92's that came on the wheels after I put the car into a 50-ft 4-wheel spin on dry pavement :biggrin: while exiting a parking lot this morning. I'm goin to 225's, and no more all-seasons for the summer months!

Can't wait to get some real summer tires next year. :yumyum:

 

Got her shined up and waxed yesterday while the girlyfriend was at work. WOW. Engine bay is clean, too.

I REALLY need to get the front end re-sprayed, its the only part of the car that won't clean up for crap.

I REALLY REALLY REALLY hate Superior Collision in Eagan right now.

 

^ claybar, then find someone good with a real buffer. Unless you're a tailgaiter with a ton of rock chips.

 

its beyond claybaring. it wasn't even prepped properly before their craptacular spray job

 

At least you didn't slide and smack into a curb at 40mph like I did. RE92's are the devil.

 

Back at full stage 2 for the first time in a few months, feels stronger than ever

 

Gave the taxi away.....

 

installed anti seize liberally to the rear caliper bolts. topped off the leaky PS system, washed it, put on wrx hood scoop...

 

got my STI a tish on the muddy side over the weekend.. felt good

 

Finished tearing down the 2.2L out of the commuter car. Found stuck oil rings on every piston.... so that is why it was using so much oil. After I finish that rebuild it will be time to tear into the ATM.

 

The tribeca will get these things today:

Oil change
Rotate
Possible resonator delete (moar 6 cyl sounds)

 

some interior wire cleanup have alot of wires with the onboard touch screen and laptop. Waxed the headlights trying to get some mor of the defects out but hace chalked it down to defects in the plastic. Buffed out a large ugly scrap that materalized on my rear quarter panel one day while I was in walmart

 

Shipper dropped off the car. Drove it for the first time. Changed air filter and bought front license plate bracket and small misc. parts. Took care of insurance, license, registration, title.

Fresh off the transporter....

 

^^^ good lookin' ride man!

 

i got my ass kicked by my car today maybe i need to be a little nicer. If my car keeps up its winning streak i will most likely by hospitalized by the weekend.

 

thought about selling it!

 

nice outback turbo! those things are really rare.

 

Not today but about a week ago. Not sure if its totaled yet or not. Cant see it but hit a big ass stump! I got a separated shoder and some whip lash out a it! Kind of hoping it is totaled cuz I'm about ready for a new car!

 

Ouch!

Glad to hear you're alive, that's the important part.

How'd it happen?

 

Installed my gridlocked flaps! (ftw)



This is a teaser for now... Fully disclosed info comming soon

 

Pics or ban.
And, how do I need to improve the design!?

 

i need to find a situation like this and buy it back, start a new project.

 

Just ordered Weathertec floor mats and hoping Eli isn't a big scammer. :biggrin:

 

Ahh that was you that came in yesterday. Nice car man!

 

Added a pic ^see above


(Ted, you haz mail)

 

I was getting side ways on a dirt road coming around a 90 turn gave her too much gas and put it in the ditch! Guess I shouldn't a been messen around!

 

nonsense. crashing is part of learning, although doing it on public roads is not the greatest idea, but we are probly all guilty of that

 

I give him credit for telling what really happened and not making something up because how it happened could of been avoided. I know I have made mistakes. its all how you handle them and learn is the key.

 

+alot.

 

I like how the angle on the fronts meet the car. I should move the holes out on the rears to match that...

How was the height? Any rubbing yet?

 

Removed the resonator on the tribeca, sounds like a cross between a carerra 6 and an FX35.

 

lolz

Soundbites?

 

+1, i wanna hear it.

 

agreed lets hear it. Also I've had my share of close calls on dirt but I drive on it every day so its all about how you react when you know you are goin a little to fast make a mistake and its over dirt in my exsperiance is very unforgiving. In my exsperiance more gas is better then brakes.

 

Sitting at the middle length right now, went to a parking lot and crancked it for some extremly tight tunrning and no rubbing that I could notice (I imagine I would be able to tell cause these are some thick flaps)

Height seems to be where I would want it for everyday driving, but once the snow falls, I suppose we see if adjustments need to be made!

All in all, I am very pleased with these

 

Maybe I can get one going tonight.

 

Finally another Outback XT owner/driver!!!! WOot WOot

 

my cuz has one just like that, only solid red and its a 5spd

 

Trimmed up my RA flaps so it doesn't rub and sound like my car is broken any more!

 

Daydreamed about a very specific wheel powdercoating for my summer wheels that no one else I've seen has done yet...

AND ordered a K&N filter! Finally... :biggrin:

 

put it up for sale
