What did you do to your subaru today?

driving mine to my work to hop into my boss's 2010 STi to drive it to Bemidji for a car show.

 

Just some routine maintenance

 

Fixed the knob that allows me to adjust the throttle/fuel maps on the fly, but now the DCCD adjuster doesn't work...

 

Looked at it when I got back from Nemadji Trail 2

 

installed rear subframe, hooked up gas lines and brake lines again.

 

Took it to a rally service park which we found by accident. Yes, keep your eyes peeled for a picture thread.

 

Lead some rally cars around some back roads

 

Decided I still hate wiring :ugh:

Looks like fun^

 

No thank you ^

 

^^^ Yikes, can't blame you!

 

looks like fun.

 

Hit 20k

 

pressure washed it for 2 hours. it still isn't clean

 

Flogged around the track at USAIR

 

Bought a new shifter linkage joint with fresh bushings and a new set of perrin spherical endlinks

 

Installed HID's in the low beams, pulled the ambers out of the headlights, and special thanks the Jrex for helping fix my malfunctioning rear running lamp THANK YOU!!! and a thanks to Thunderdan for hosting the headlight bake!

 

Attempted yesterday to cut-open the tails, but broke two cutting disks on the Dremel after only getting maybe a 1/4 of the way around one of them. Plan to finish the job today after getting a diamond-plated cutting wheel, thanks to advice from the Sheenis! Also, thanks for cooking up some delicious man(burger) meat for us yesterday Sheen. You were a pro at working with Scotty's meat. :yumyum::biggrin:

 

are the tail-lights not like the headlights? u cant bake them and pull them apart?

 

you are correct.

Brian I can't wait to see how they turn out. Glad you broke the dremel cutter and not the tail lights.

 

be nice if they were that easy

 

Lowered it

 

Put the new summer shoes on:

^^^nice

 

drove it.

 

New rotors (original rotors in rough shape), StopTech Street Performance pads.

Then took it out to bed the pads in. The 4pots on my 06 + StopTech pads stop very *very* well. I love the feel.

 

Recharged my AC and cleaned out the inside.

 

Two words: Toothbrush + ArmorAll

I haven't cleaned a car interior this well since I sold my Saturn in '08.

 

Went to replace the cabin air filter to find that my car was missing the filter all together, lol!

 

Powdercoated the valve covers a textured "gator black"

 

Well, I'll be washing the car and cleaning the air filter tomorrow. If it rains it's my fault :banana:

 

I pulled my intake tube to check my turbo for shaft play (it's whining). It was the most difficult damn thing I have done on the car yet. I never thought removing a simple intake would be so hard! It's not a clever design, that's for sure.

 

Took the cars to imola to get tinted yesterday. Still waiting on some bubbles and hazing to disappear, but looks good for the price.

The leggy needs the headlights blackout and a nose job. The 911 needs a drop and a new lip.

 

Washed the car, washed & oiled the K&N, topped off the fuel tank with e85 and then proceeded to drive the **** out of it.

 

Nate (Bullwinkle) tuned it this weekend, this mornings cool weather was really fun!

 

In addition to washing it, I cleaned the filter and rotated the tires. Now to get around to changing my transmission fluid here in the near future.

 

I installed my Perrin endlinks. Now if only I had an engine to make my car move lol

 

got me a new CBE

 

^nice what'd ya get?

 

OBX-R Type H

 

Just finished installing the clutch at Turbo Turtle Dan's place. Started at 10:30 and finished at midnight. Took our time and learned a good deal. Dan is the man! Thanks also to Dan( Piddster), Jesse, Nick, Tony, Tonie, Headwerks Machine Shop and Morrie's for the help and quick service!

I haven't been this giddy about my car since when I first picked her up!

 

nice!

took it to Morries for an alignment and then took the little guy out for his first ride in a wrx.

 

Got the STI tuned this evening by Bullwinkle, car is amazing, Nate is a hell of a nice guy and does amazing work. Thanks Nate!

 

30k fluids at 20k. Thanks Dan


I also tasted the rainbow

 

installed the new OBX CBE, sounds perfect
time for headers and track pipe.
