/\/\/\/\ :needpics:

 

qft!!!!!!!

 

what about the messenger???? lol:laugh:

 

Got pissed off trying to get oil rings for it. See: http://mnsubaru.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36090

 

Bullwinkle stage one tune for my 08' LGT. (last night actually) I was having to much fun with my car to post until today! Many thanks to Bullwinkle, he knows tha plan for making car go pshhhst! :rockwoot:

 

I'm just courious, I see that some of you ski and snowboard. Where do you guys go and how is it? I would love to see some picture of the places you guys go.

 

^^ welcom, but wow, way wrong thread.

 

just hand washed it think ill go have a cig

 

Washed my impreza, and drove it like I stole it.

 

Installed the pistons and other misc stuff to the engine (water pump, access covers, ect.). On hold with the heads as some of the bolts are in question. Even had the 6 year old wrenching on it. She is a great helper some days.

 

Towed it like I stole it!

 

left it at the bar cause i won 4 surly taps and 4 shots playing Blingo at the Triple Rock!!!!

 

I retuned my E-85 map to improve the cold start capability. It actually starts at 32 degrees now.

 

yay triple rock!!! last time i was there as for the propighndi concert.

 

I got the windshield replaced so now it is actually legal to drive :biggrin:

 

Finished up my 1K mile break-in and installed a K&N drop-in. This thing PULLS between 3K and 6K RPMs, lol:biggrin:

 

I changed the gas filler tube on my wife's 99 impreza. I couldn't believe how much salt and crap was packed in around the top, behind that worthless plastic cover. the filler tube itself wasn't rusted through, but all the breather hoses and that valve up there were corroded and broken off.

I'd suggest to people to take that plastic cover off and inspect under there, and also disassemble the cover around the gas cap and see if there's any rust forming in there. Clean it up and hit it with some spray undercoating.

 

Well I guess now would be a good time to do that on my '98 being I have the engine and trans out and need to do some rust repair in the engine bay too. Thanks for the info.

 

And I just finished changing the cam seals on my wife's impreza today. SOHC engines sure are easy to work on. Repainted her winter wheels last sat, new axle on wed, filler tube and a little rust repair on the fenders on fri and cam seals today, hopefully I'm done with her car for a while.

 

Blackozone and I baked my headlights, pulled the orange reflector, and installed HIDs today in my 09. It looks great! Thanks for the help Lee!

 

rainx-ed it!

 

Woo Hoo, Finally got my real registration and tags today. I was getting tired of wearing the ole dealership tag and paper taped to the rear window. My new car feels official now, lol.

 

Took the drive section out of the '99 transmission. Thanks for the hand Carl.

 

I pulled my timing covers off to change my timing belt at 113000,and was pleased to find it in allmost pristine condition,tight in all the right places and not chewd on the corners or anything,so I decided 2 just simply leave it an reasemble the covers and call it a day.ill keep checking it and replace it when it needs it,this is the nice part about being a mechanic!

 

Good to hear! I'm scared to see what condition my t-belt is at this point haha

 

Got signed up with the Holiday car wash club. Unlimited washes for $30 a month? Hell yes!

 

Changed the accessory belts. Bled the clutch, that was a pain, but worth it. Checked the intercooler, still no oil at all coming out of the turbo. Took the gas cap cover and filler tube cover apart, cleaned up the little bit of rust and sprayed some undercoating in there. The plastic cover seals a lot better on the 03 vs the 99 impreza, but the filler tube was still starting to rust.

 

did you get some yellow fogs too?

 

Not that I would condone street racing in any form... But, theres a local SRT8 Challenger owner out there that knows his car cant beat a stage2 STi!

 

Put on snow wheels/tires adn gave it a good wash

 

Drove my the cities to fargo. Almost made it without a cel. Stupid p0440 evap system!

 

you should try that one again, haha :laugh:

 

Used it to move. Well, okay. Its been over the last WEEK I've been doing that.

BUT, I'm done. Now just time to UN-pack. -_-

 

On Saturday ordered some HPS's for it.

 

Got the winters on, thanks to the Alignment Guy. He does good.

 

I replaced my intake snorkel. My old one may or may not have been on the roof of my car when i started to drive down McKnight, and could have maybe been run over by a few cars. But nothing gorilla tape can't fix for a day. Stupid mistake not putting it back on when I realized it was still sitting on my work bench. I was like… “I’ll just set it on my roof so I see it before I drive off and I can put it on then” Opps, guess not. I should have just opened the hood back up and put it on.... but it is a $30 lesson that I learned.


Also tested out the new snowboard rack with my new snowboards. FTW

 

Ok, I got some pics.

 

the stock subaru brand rack looks really tall compared to after markets...is this true?

also how the hell are you supposed to use accessories (bikes, boxes, etc) without bending over and buying them from Subaru

regardless. makes me want to put the rack on for something to do.

 

I love the rack, but I ride a wide board. My board and my wifes board fits with less than 1/2 inch to spare. As well, it is hard to close the rack with both boards in there. It will work, and I am not saying that you want a ton of space in there.... but a bit more space would be nice. This rack is made for SKIs and can be used for SNOWBOARDS. It is called a ski rack on the box. I almost took it back, but I don't want a door hook rack... and it works so I will live with it.

 

i cleaned my car for possibly the last time :eek3:

 

:-(



I put on my orange snows today.

 

not a real car....but have been working on a couple subarus for Rigs of Rods.....
