What did you do to your subaru today?

Corn Booze!!!!!1!!!

 

installed jdm air splitter that i got from emily.

 

tested the new parts and tune with a trip to Morris MN... Ran great! Though thats a pretty lame drive...

 

got it very very very stuck in wi with no cell phone coverage, spent a lot of time digging it out.

 

hahaha, nice work!

road looks kinda strait, how did you do it?

 

Took mine to the Glacier Lakes Quattro Club driving "school" on Lake Cynthia yesterday and hung out with a bunch of Audis and a Festicle. w00t!

 

Reminds me of...

Oh I see... you must have been trying to go ACROSS the road, right? :biggrin::laugh:

 

Built a light bar with my brother for the XT.... here are a few preview pics... i still got to paint it and then re-mount it, then obviously set up the lights....

 

sorry for the huge pics i forgot to resize them

 

I was trying to turn around cause backing up just pulled me further into the ditch.

I got stuck going straight, then spent the night digging it out/turning it part way around, then it got light out and I could take pics with my cell phone.

I was thinking about that scene, I don't think i could move that much though, i was really high centered across the road. Using a heavy duty ratchet strap and 2 tow straps to a tree, i pulled the car the rest of the way around and was able to drive back.

 

Wow yeah that's really stuck, I'm glad you got out ok. But, getting stuck going in a straight line? I'm glad I've never done anything like that... :hsugh:


Luckily though, I had help getting pulled out.

 

i replaced my starter and battery today!

 

^^ Me to, I didn't need to replace the starter though.. Battery on my '08 GR went out on me, so I replaced it.

 

dropped the GC8 to maaco to clean up those nasty rock chips. I'll let you guys know how well they clean it up.

 

I just bought a set of Team Dynamics Pro Rally 1 from Paul at Team Illuminata. 15x7, 53mm offset, in white. So pumped.

 

Just had the oil cooler installed. I'll try and get some pics tomorrow. The hoses are a bit more, um, obvious than I thought they'd be. Also got the other two sensors hooked up so all three gauges are now working. I had no idea how much the oil pressure goes up and down as you drive around. I guess you learn something new every day.

 

I'm sure there'll be an inline picture resizing module arriving any day now that will take care of that for you.

 

sick wheels.

Rally cross this sunday?

Please post pics when you get them

 

I can't make it out this Sunday but I am planning on making it out at some point this year. I will be sure to get some pics up when I get the wheels on, likely late next week.

 

ugh....took out the lower rear seat , and passenger seat , removed the felt/cushion stuff from under the rear carpet so it would dry out...guess pouring frebreze on the stinky spot where my 2 yo spilled milk is going to be harder to get rid of then i thought...and pouring frebreze on it only made the funk worse , for now i have the carpet propped up to help the frebreze dry , windows are part open , washed the floor/metal off , i hope the funky smell will be gone when it is dry , if not i will have to shampoo the carpet , or get a replacement , funky carpet ftl....

**for those of you with kids take note , always watch where they throw there bottle....

this is so frustrating , anyone have any exp. with getting carpet cleaned in a car.....did it smell fresh/clean when done , thanks for any input

 

Pull the carpet all the way out. Then steam-clean it. That's about the only way to really clean it.

(I used to detail vehicles traded in to a small town dealership. [farmers are some of the dirtiest people in the world!!!])

 

do you know of anywhere could i get it done , oh and on a saturday , i would have to work on it after work the rest of the week and then have it cleaned on saturday


oh and it is just isolated in the 2'x2' area under the passenger rear seat, could they do it with the carpet still in? they would have alot of room with the seats out , i still have the smell in my nose and i have a cold..ugh

 

Pm sheen or idget (forum name) he does so/e detail work and may be able to help or at least point you in the right direction

 

Put on a 2" receiver hitch, tranny cooler and some fresh Amsoil fluid for the Forester. I'm ready to tow, baby!

 

finally got my 5speed swap completed, and took it for its maiden 5 speed drive. feels good to drive your own car after 2 months of just looking at it lonely in the garage, with its guts lying on the floor..

 

Pieced together and swapped stock suspension in, took coilovers out. Swapped in a new outer tie rod (thanks Morries Mtka and thunderdan!). Swapped in the stock airbox and swapped out the cold air intake (thanks BBsRS!). No more clunk, and no more high idle CEL. Gonna have to do wheel bearings, pads, and oil change this weekend or next, then time to shop for a motor swap

 

thought it was a rallyx car now your going to swap it?? or were you always going to swap?

 

I'll still rallyx it, but I'll love me a 3.3RS long time.

 

Installed (mostly watched) Sard R2D2 BOV yesterday, went wingless today!

 

Installed an 06 WRX steering wheel in my 03.

 

the gt is on the road!
fix the overheating and the codes. after that, gave it a good washing.

it now has impreza, forester, and outback parts in it.

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!!!!!!!

 

Painted the bbs's black, and put the front lip back on! YEah!!!!!1!!1!!

 

pulled off the hellas in anticipation for 2 more and a new lightbar, and gave her a much needed wash.

the rear quarter panel rust is starting to need fixing

 

used the subaru like it should be, had a blast running the keweenaw winter rally even if we didn't do that well, we did start to figure things out at the end though, now i have one very dirty impreza in the driveway.

 

I installed a Primitive diff guard today, it went just fine after I got the right deep socket for the rear of the diff!

 

Got the sti muffler welded up and back on the car. No pictures of the welding, sorry. Brazing didn't work, the aluminized coating on the metal might have been causing problems, but it didn't flow well. A filler rod had to be used with the wirefeed, so the welding doesn't look too pretty. I think the best method would have been to cut off the "flap" and just put a patch over the hole.

But, it's back on the car. The only difference I can tell in the sound is that it no longer rattles. It doesn't sound any louder. So, if you want to make the muffler louder, you have to cut into the resonated pipe on the bottom.

I'm perfectly happy with it though. Just enough rumble and my car sure runs better with the STI muffler than with the stock wrx muffler.

 

this.

 

Pulled the factory radiator, cleaned the rad support, wiped the grime off the fans and will begin the install tonight of the new mishimoto which just arrived in my office a couple of minutes ago!

 

Pics? The airbag will still work, right?

 

Just ordered a Stealth Back TurboXS System.

Detailed the interior of the car (winter detail, not as good as a spring/summer detail)

 

Took my car to Jeff the alignment guy, he is quite the character who really knows his stuff. he originally quoted me 70 and ended up charging me 45 because doing a stock Subaru is pretty quick. I'm totally sold and plan frequenting him again, my car handles with newfound response. he also gave us some reading material for restoration of our 66' chevy truck.

 

found out how fast a wingless trunk pops open when u dont swap out the torsion bars... real fast

 

I'm putting a bunch of touch-up paint on it....

 

I did too this morning, but Mister Carwash did a decent job of turning Brown Sonja back into Red Sonja, after having an awesome time at the Thin Ice Rally-X.
