What did you do to your subaru today?

Thanks!

Kind of rare. What is really rare is the Legacy GT version with manual transmission. I wanted one of these with the Limited package, but they are impossible to find.

Yep, twas me. Thanks for the compliment! Probably be swinging by again later in the week, once I figure out what else I need or need to know.

Outback FTW!

Yep, 5 Speed!

So what I did today was wash the car, mount the front license plate, got shipping notification for the catted down pipe I ordered from Perrin, and requested a quote for going Stage 3....

 

went wing less





yes, i know its black

 

^ I likey... I wanna go wingless too^

who wtt black sti wing for wingless???

 

welded in another resonator.. seeing as I am keeping the bitch I may as well make it a little quieter.. success??? not totally... ha ha took out some of the harshness under full throttle, much quieter but still not sure how much as I havent sat at 70MPH constantly yet...

Nathan,
Have you noticed if its quieter in the cabin depending on where the resonator is? Say, closer or further away from the turbo?

 

Funny you say that, I took my resonator out!

 

nope... too much air space within the cabin of my car being a wagon... it has taken a lot of the resonating out that was coming in thru the rear vents (for closing doors etc so no ear popping) and cargo area) but I think it will be a little more inconspicuous now.. ie.. not as much grOOOOOOOwl when under hard acceleration... I have to pull all the trunk crap out and tape up one of the 2 vents to also help...

 

You forgot to add that you also swapped to a smaller black hood scoop.


Must be exhaust day. Just put on an STi exhaust, with the help of Tall Dan, and now I hear her rumble a bit.

 

Nate, that resonator that you put in for me worked awesome at certain RPM's and (of course) not at others. I would say at the higher RPM's, it was the most noticeable. I've also got those noise barrier sheets for the boot if you want a bit less road noise.

 

Contains 100% of your daily recommended intake of win. Approval granted.



Oh yeah, and back on topic... Filled my tank yesterday after a drive from Excelsior > Little Falls > McGregor > NE Mpls > Excelsior, got over 29mpg. Awesome.

 

got my set of winter wheels today

 

Got a 4pack of monster and all night to finish clutch so that i can go out of town hunting tomorrow and have to work at 4am

 

I balanced my tires and gave my baby an alignment!!

 

got the frame and quarter panel on the gimp fixed. guess its not the gimp anymore

 

bigger version of your avatar, wants woman+SVX naow

 

I debadged and buffed out some scratches in the lgt today and noticed how much more work I have ahead of me!

 

It is worth it when your done they look alot nicer i took 3000 grit after my whole car and then buffed and polished it looked sexy lol

 

^Al speaks the truth! Owner of one of the cleanest wrx's around.

I ziptied and fixed up the splash gaurd on my 2.5rs. I broke it pretending to be ken block

 

Replaced fastener for left tailight trim.

Ordered VF52 turbocharger from Minnetonka Subaru. Settled on supporting mods, and set appointment for install and tune.

Ray

 

bought and installed an S202 rep spoiler yesterday pictures later or tomorrow

 

I sold my 97' wrx :emo:
I hope to get another Subaru next year
An older cheaper used one
something I could use for rally cross :biggrin:

 

i have a 2000 2.5rs.....with 182, 000 miles on it........looking for 5,000.

 

discovered my car is actually WHITE!!!

and removed the roof racks... for now.. I like them but I am going to clay bar tomorrow so I removed them for ease.. and to see if it grows on me....

 

Installed Pink Rally Armor mud flaps onto my 08 LGT. They should just tell you to take the damn rear wheel off to install the rear ones. And what is with the plastic clips with metal screws? I stripped three of them. You would think for the price you pay that you would get metal ones.

For those of you who have Rally Armor mud flaps, have you guys had any problems with the plastic clips falling off?

 

I bought some stainless steel hex heads for my RA universals. They look clean and were a really easy install with a ratcheting wrench. No space issues at all tightening them.

I also drive my subaru from fargo to the cities today. I'm really starting to like this old car

 

Did my timing belt yesterday, finally got that out of the way. It was pretty easy the hardest part was getting the new belt on and lined up right. Now she's got all new idlers, water pump, belts, and hoses. :biggrin: The old belt was still in very god shape, can't say this for the acc. belts though.

 

Took the front seats out and wirebrushed, sanded, primered and painted the front bolt areas. They were really rusty.

 

Yeah, mine are in baaad shape too (after only three winters!). The salt does a number on those things.

 

well i added a loud knock to one and burned out the center diff clutch packs on the other

 

THANKS! Brian

Ive always liked it glad ur coming around lol jk

 

Put on my Rally Armor UR mudflaps I got from RexNEffect

 

tonight I plan to attack my car again.... next stage is claybar... then paint the winter rims (maybe) then next stage is strip, sand, bondo, sand, paint the summers...


BLACK BABY!!!

 

Started fitting together a new exhaust set up but had nothing but problems. I ran out of argon for the tig then broke the lens on the auto dim helmet. So now I'm driving with an open down pipe set up. Hope I can find a lens and finish tomorrow.

 

Was just going to message you to see if they showed up. How did that "worn-in" one fit?

 

Put the winter wheels on, gettin' ready to tow to my buddy's garage to start the sllloowwww swap

 

ok.. second guessing if I want black...

any thoughts??

 

Replaced the 10 plastic clips for my Rally Armor mud flaps with metal one I got at Lowe's. Almost a dollar, a whole dollar for each clip.

 

Installed this little guy:

 

i kinda like those on subaru's did need to be drilled through the bumper or tape?

you should take a pic from further away too. id like to see it from afar

 

did one of them on a Saab a few years back... had to cut out the bumper.. scary on someone else's car.. haha but fitted perfect once done

 

Fit just fine - came with a little "character" already broken in. That way I won't feel that bad when the others get all beat up.
Look great though! Thanks!

 

replaced my seats with 03 WRX seats front/rear....much much better!

 

went to check to see if i still had avcs filters on my car and to my suprise i did. took them out seeing as there was a tsb on it.

 

Painted the wheels bronze, modded the grille and put some hella horns behind the grille now that they fit.
