What did you do to your subaru today?

Decided I wanna just get rid of the thing. It makes for a pretty driveway ornament, but I don't really have the time or motivation to fix and sell it.

 

yeah, he's going to take pics and i should probably do a write up on this, he already has pics of the rear clip that is ready. i'm almost sad i've run out of prep work to do, was having too much fun. Though, i will have plenty of re-assembly when the body work is done.

 

oh really?

any idea on pricing yet?


and i finally got a job so my RS will finally get the engine and suspension pampering it deserves

 

Installed the new air/oil separator, ironed out the IC plumbing and put on a new air filter.

 

Finished mounting 01 intake in the 98' and wrinkle-blacked it;

 

I'm thinkin $1500ish but I've already got a few ppl interested so we'll see.

edit: I forgot about the wrx brakes and hubs, so I'll probably be asking a little more considering those are a very nice/expensive upgrade.

 

Went Rallying on Bear Lake Road in Summit WI, just was mocking it on the way down, on the way back locked up the tires 70 feet into a ditch and stopped RIGHT before the trees I win. Put her in first out of the ditch and kept rallying.

 

Took it out on some interesting country roads looking for opportunities to take some snaps for COTM.





Stuart.

 

^^love that car.

 

Put some Rally Armor flaps on the Forester.

 

Thanks, and glad to hear it. We're off out on the coast road tomorrow, so I have an idea for a couple more pictures before I actually pick out the ones I'm going to submit. I just hope it's as quiet tomorrow as it was out there today.

 

Non-subaru what did you do.. ..

Changed out the thermostat in the other boxer engine and discovered yes it possible to have a harder spark plug installation than a Subaru. 1 hour 'stat install, 5 hour spark plug swap out. Still overheating. <sigh> Water pump ordered. Stupid mid-engine cars. Switching to early '70s Caddy with the next car.

 

Drove mine up a snowbank at work a little bit ago.

 

Put my new wheels yesterday. Rota Grids. 17x9 with a 42mm offset. From what Dan at wheel dude told me I'm the first subie with this set up. As far as color offset and size.

 

^ Niiiiiiice !

 

I finally cleaned out my trunk and backseat...some of the things you can find when you do that are just miraculous...Hoping to put on my baby flaps on sometime this week haha.

 

(last night) Wash, Wax, RainX and a bunch of interior cleaning..... it was nice to drive a clean car to work today!

 

Subaru's aren't suppose to be clean.

Stacked stuff around it in the garage, and buried it further :emo: . I need my rent deposit back badly so I can get her back on the road with a new clutch.

 

It's not clean. It is sexy and wet

 

Touche, good sir.

 

finished tuning my suby from nuke after installing a new three port boost control since the stock one was garbage. my car is so much better I can't put it into words, nuke is amazing at tuning and a great guy, appreciate all he's done for me

 

dropped car off at the body shop, will be done next friday.

 

Tuesday night my friend got his jeep wrangler stuck to the axles in mud. Pulled him out with my rs with ZERO yes ZERO wheel spin in water and mud thank you subaru for making your AWD so well

 

Buffed the headlights, drained oil and noticed oil cooler o-ring was shot.... Drained coolant, drove to miller hill Subaru for a new o-ring gasket, replaced gasket, added my near 3 gallons of coolant then filled the oil. Was a nice near $70 dollar oil change and near 6 hours total. Then when all done I washed it and started on the summit IPAs.

 

added 2 coats of paint and 2 coats of clear coat to the rear rims so they match the fronts now in terms of glossyness.

 

^ looks nice but either needs a wash or needs more dirt

 

was clean till it rained. rain splashed mud all over her.

 

2nd round of headlight buffing...

 

i took the 01 RS seats out of the 95 legacy wagon and put them into the 93 impreza wagon. that was followed with putting the impreza seats into the legacy. swapped the 15inch wheels onto the impreza. then detailed the interior of the legacy to get her ready for her new owner. i must say that if you really want to get your car clean pull the front seats. tomorrow is bath day for all 4.

i also added up the mileage of all 4 and they have a combined total of 775,000 miles.

 

decided to split the car in two.

 

tinted windows last thursday, intake hooked still working on making it a cold, blacked out my grill and exhaust tips and chrome strip in the back. also pulled stumps out of the ground with it

 

New frozen rotors in the rear and Hawk hps( o wait frozen gave me the wrong pad there's a huge difference between early 03 and late 03) /napa pads till next weekend.

 

-Put in some 7mm HR spacers to gain a little tire/strut clearance.

-Removed some 7mm HR spacers after rubbing on the rolled fenders.

Put in HID headlights and fogs, yay brightness!

 

Installed a slam panel cover. This completes my cooling mods for the foreseeable future.

 

Dropped in K&N panel filter instead of factory one...

 

Painted the reflectors on the rear bumper black to match the tail lights Totally blacked out
