What did you do to your subaru today?

sweet, did you use your car to pull them out?

 

:bowrofl::woot:yep LGT FTW

 

Put my new snow tires on (yes I procrastinate, I know) and put my free Perrin license plate frames on, they were free!!! I called them and they said they would send me some and I said how much? They said nothing, not even postage!

 

:needpics:


lets see those beefy tires and that free license plate!

 

Ok, I will take some pics on lunch and post em' up!!!

 

mint!

 

Crappy phone pics, but here they are:biggrin:

 

Found the culprit behind my 0 psi compression on Cyl 2, burnt exhaust valve. At least the block is good. I was for sure thinking it was a hole in the piston.

 

2 weeks ago sold the snowflakes to Nate so he could have winter rims, put the nice Enkie rims on the GT, then last thursday, came to a realization I should have replaced the slicks with good tires after blowing the right rear just before a turn causing me to spin, but missed the curb and stopping about 6 inches shy of the stop sign. Put the spare on and turned the GT to FWD limped her to the tire shop. New skins cost 250, then found out they rub, and tuesday my speedo died! Gunna be a fun weekend!

 

finally got around to putting my mudflaps on :biggrin:

 

you have had those for a while now havent you.

 

yeah, but its hard to put them on in the subzero temperature in a parking lot...without any tools :ugh:

 

^^this...
is why mine are not on yet.

 

same here.
packed snow in the wheelwells doesnt it make it any easier either.

 

Legacy in the ditch

I put my legacy into a 3 foot deep ditch got out fine and towed my buddies Dakota out too I loved that.

 

Changed the oil back to synthetic finally. My toes are cold.

 

Cleaned the ever-lovig **** out of it. After the rallycross school last weekend I took today to clean and polish her up, amazed to feel how rough the paint felt when I started and how glassy it is now. This was the second washing, and I was still able to find areas where there was dirt stuffed into some crevice.

 

I replaced my shattered headlight thanks to some drunko kid who decided to kick it in. I also found that all all the clips broke off my corner light, so that's just taped on for now until I find another one.

I also put on my freshly powdercoated tow hook

 

Changed the timing belt,water pump,thermostat, and oil change

 

Pulled out the center console. Drained the rear diff and trans. Removed TMIC and Turbo back exhaust.

 

Painted my wheels bright f'n yellow... and mounted my fogs (still have to wire them up)

 

^where are the pics at bubba! p.s. headlight looks/works great. There were a couple cracks in the back, but nothin a little silicone couldn't fix

 

wired and installed a led array in my dome light

 

hawk hps pads all the way around, and an sti uppipe.

 

Replaced the crappy peanut bulbs(194) in my parking lights with super white 5 led bulbs... Looks awesome, now im not embarassed to roll with just parking lights on!!!

 

well, I found out that gas stations car washes do not exist in STL like they do in MN. I called like 15 BP's before i could find a touchless car wash. I ended up going to the ghetto, which is actually ghetto, unlike MN. it was sweet getting a $3.99 for any car wash, car wash..... but it didn't dry my car at all..... lol. I can't believe it was that hard to wash my car.

 

at least you didn't break anything this time

 

put it up for sale

 

lol, yeah. i don't get the MNSOC discount out here.


tony, why are you selling your car?

 

to buy Bills. and to have lower car payments/insurance

 

good luck. are you going to buy a dual mount light bar for that too?

 

I'll need a new one. the dual mount light bar goes with my car. lol

 

installed fp 68hta and had Ron at RS do an awsome job tuning it to 280 awhp and 254 torque!!! thanx Ron~

 

I would very much enjoy to hear more about your setup

 

Got my first oil change.

 

ya i had a vf 39 ebay up pipe and tbe,650cc dw inj. walbro pump short ram intake with k&n and samco hoses,just added godspeed intercooler top mount- im sure its just more ebay crap but it works and and a fp 68hta all on an 05 wrx

 

picked a bunch of parts for it. going to be getting more parts on Tues and Weds as well.

 

Did you have your setup dyno'd with the vf39? Just curious the whp/wtq difference from vf39 to hta68 on the 2.0L.

 

Got the snow tires put on the new car I picked up yesterday. Anybody else pumped to get to play in the snow thats coming?

 

cars too dirty for pics... wheels aren't in their most obnoxious glory right now...

 

Already beatcha to it, sah!

Parking lot felt my wrath tonight. :yumyum:

 

Pics of said tow hook? I am looking for a way to mount an good tow hook onto the front bumper of my Impreza.


As for today: Put interior back together, removed (Sawzall was involved) rear passenger lateral links/knuckle/axle, picked up some more parts at MNTKA Subaru.

 

As requested:


The install pic turned out pretty bad because of bad lighting and the fact that my "camera" is my LG Dare. I've got a handful of other colors as well, but I figured I'd keep it simple with regular gloss black.

 

I updated the valve clearnaces, and did my timing belt, it sure seemed like a lot of work and a huge PITA to have to wait for the buckets.

I would like to give a HUGE shout out to the guys at the Minnetonka Subaru Parts desk, these guys rock!

 

Awesome! I had no clue that those unbolted from the lower radiator support. I will need to replace mine asap. 95s had a recall on them for setting off the air bag if you clipped something with it. So they cut mine off :-(

THIS!
