What did you do to your subaru today?

noticed the amount of dust that is building up on the windshield, shrugged and went for a bike ride (yes PEDDLE bike!)

 

my car transformed into a carbot and we went about saving the world.

 

washed, clayed and waxed...

 

drove it home and their it sat all day.

 

Well actually it was yesterday, but I replaced the radiator of the SVX.

 

This is not really a suprise to you is it?

 

This weekend I added 20 pounds of dust to the interior, cracked my windshield, chipped the paint, and drove it upwards of 70+mph on the rally stages at Ojibwe!!!:yumyum:

(oh, and added 1000+ miles to the odo)

 

Sounds very very fun.


Me, I put the old stock alternator back in and charged the battery. Put my normal 50 miles per day on her (love daily driver subaru ). Runs even slightly smoother and definitely more open feeling on the low end then before the seafoam. Yay! I think I'm officially in love with the 2.5L H4 EJ251. Waiting very patiently for the time when I can afford to build & turbo it.

 

My Subi laughed at PKSublime's Subi for having a bum wheel - then took it to get fixed

 

Don't laugh too much he's sporting my spare so his car is twice as cool as usual.

 

had the carpets shampooed

 

Went and got groceries...

Saw a Sonic Yellow sedan at Applebee's in Buffalo. IIRC you have HID's, and a carbon fiber hood. Yellow MNSubaru stickers too.

 

finally got my gauges wired up for power.....i didnt know my boost gauge glowed blue im pretty excited for that.

 

i can haz twin?!?!? was it the post it note sonic yellow or the much better 03 sonic yellow :biggrin:

 

As far as Subaru is concerned, there is only 1 Sonic Yellow, not 2 like some people seem to think.

ONLY 1...

 

There were 2 yellows, but the allocation on Blaze Yellow (02 only) was so small, that they are few and far between. So similar in color, but yet so different.

 

Well I havent been on much lately. However the newest change to my car is a 5MT transmission out of a legacy and a brand new clutch. 4.11 FD FTW!

When I get some help I will have some more to post up. Next mod takes 2 people to do.

 

Checked my cel codes,

p0301
p0303

bitch side cylanders are acting up...

probly somthing stupid easy to fix....

or, somthing serious?

 

:banana:UPS guy just showed up with my new tires.

 

Just swapped the stock fronts with wrx brakes,and ss brake lines also put brand new exhaust (borla headers, catless test pipe, and a borla cat back, sounds really good.

 

Added on my Goodridge Braided SS brake lines. Much improved pedal feel.

 

MARTIN!!! really excited about the 5MT! woot.

and thats a GREAT ratio. you feel restricted on the freeway by RPM's or are the gears long enough to deal with that?

I bought some octane booster to try to get rid of hesitation and a weird clicking noise im getting at wot boost...didnt get rid of the clicking but the hesitation seems SLIGHTLY better. I've done all I can to look for the boost leak except mess with the air inlet tube, which ill poke around on over this weekend.

I got new oil put swapped in, 10w30 mobil 1 synthetic with a mobil 1 filter. Gotta love the 15 dollar instant rebate on that stuff.

Got my front sway bar bushings in. Will put those in this weekend.

Checked into getting an alignment done. Found out that the base hobby shop does them, so im thrilled. not sure of the cost but i'll be getting that busted out this weekend too. AMPED.

Miss minnesota a lot, but I'll be home the 21st-28th of october. I'm going to be borrowing will (se7enrex's) evo, so i might show up to a meet or something as a traitor. No worries the suby is staying around...just not driving it home. I'm lucky to have as good of a friend as him to lend a car like that to me.

oh, and no, i wont be entertaining offers to race. coughfujicough

 

last night i finally removed the 20+lbs of dust. Only 6 buckets of dirty water to clean out the inside. :eek3:

replaced my melted fender liner:biggrin:

put a thick coat of wax on the car:yumyum:

put my summers back on:yumyum:

fixt a camber issue:ugh:

 

Finally installed my saggy butt spacers! w00t No More rubbing! Also much better stance

 

Yeah, you will have to check it out when you are back next. The 4.11 doesnt seem to restricting. IIRC cruising around at ~80MPH has me sitting around ~3500 RPMs in 5th gear. Not exactly the best for highway driving but fun none the less.

 

Changed my oil from Mobile1 to Penzoil and put in a new air filter (oem all the way!)

 

COMPRESSION CHECK....

1-151
2-138
3-145
4-135

looks good,

called MGs exhaust about putting a cat and flex section on my mid-pipe.

 

i gave my keys to the guy who's gonna put rust proofing and teflon coating on it.

 

car is going to drive me to Fergus Falls for a family dinner with Grandma on the lake on sunday so I cleaned out the back seat for the puppy.

 

I drove it, because yet again my nissan blew up.

 

what blew?

 

I'm thinking it was the second of my used t25's. Oil all over, smoke. Lots of smoke. And it happened in the rain, so its still parked somewhere in Superior waiting to be towed to my house. There is no winning.

 

sounds like the seals went. those used t25's just can't be trusted apparently

 

Apparently not, after two have done much the same thing. Forced performance will put T28 internals into a T25 housing, but that isn't cheap, and I'm ready to be done with the money pit.

Anyway, factory turbo powered subarus ftw.

 

TEN MILE LAKE.:roll: My Aunt MAKES my grandma leave and stay on the lake over the summers.. LOLz

 

i drove mine to work. and im planning on driving it home too. i also got my stockers painted and the tires mounted on them. pics coming soon!

 

don't forget my ka-t blew it's used t25 as well lol

 

I bought a new bumper!!!

 

You Sir, may not be done with that Nissan. You can never be done with it. You will get another turbo, and it will live another day!:biggrin:

 

yesterday, I took my hood scoop off and put it back on twice. The first time cuz I wanted to learn how it comes off and the second cuz I was gonna put a new one on but it didnt fit.

 

My car has a saggy butt also! I need to get my struts and springs in!

Today, I traded my car for Curlys. Him and Aric are going to do my plugs and change that squeal screamming belt while I'm at work! So I get to take the wagon to work..:hsugh:

 

I think you got cheated. not only did you not get to work on your car, but you had to drive curly's. lol


I washed mine.
