What have you done to your car today?

[subie/legacy]

^^^nice
painted my wheels today

[SubaruJawn]

put honey in the crank case a couple days ago.

so far no more leaking, burning oil onto the exhaust.

cost $3.99

not a permanent fix but will have to do till i get enough funds.

[Soul Shinobi]

I dread body work SO, SO MUCH that I'd been putting off doing a little sanding and painting on my hood for quite some time. I gave in today, in the most half-assed way possible. I didn't even wash the hood, just took out the color spay can and held a piece of paper to mask it for two quick passes over the scratches and rust. Whatever, looks better. If you know anyone near southern NH who can do body work, let me know, go knows I'm not even gonna touch the rear fender rust.

[95USsubaru]

did anyone happen to notice the US is about to be butt F***** with 4 straight hurricanes? lol

[95USsubaru]

took off the exhaust i just put back on to attempt to do transmission work.....

front CVs, pads all the way around, and rotors all the way around. (rotors arnt in the picture)

so auto zone has the wrong part number for my front pads? i had to get ones from a 2005 legacy. but hey, there the same lol

i greased all the slide pins up front, but the breaks are still getting really hot. i was told its normal for them to smoke for the first few minutes?

and it sounds like a dust shield is rubbing against my rotor.. or mayb its one of the clips on the brake pad... :smt013

anyone out there had this happen? im going to have to pull the wheels off tonight and take another look..

[jewbaru]

p.s. the second picture is the one of the old CVs. that was one of two big holes in the boot

[jewbaru]

i thought of the same thing for my wagon. but I'd put them on the roof rack under the back bar.

you just tapped into the existing wires ? or did you rig up another switch ?

New Subaru Parts :smt007

[jewbaru]

All lights are wired in pairs to one lead that goes to the battery. Thens theres a relay that flips them on in reverse and a switch that turns them on inside along with a override for the reverse relay so I can ride incognito if I need to

[jey]

Just had to buy a new tire... I got a nice 1/4 slice right in the middle of the tread... They said they couldnt fix it, but they had a used one for $25... I'm not ready to spend $450 on new tires yet...

Hope the used tire had about the same tread left as your other 3 tires - Subarus don't like having mismatched tires.


For me, today I was all ready to remove my almost new alternator and figure out why the tensioner bolt broke again, only to find that it seems that all it did was back itself out? Cranked it down pretty tight this time, and replaced the belt while I was at it since it got all messed up...

[stu-nami]

Jewbaru i had to replace my front axles here about a month ago and my front right one was sooo rusted it took 5 guys at a machine shop to punch it out of the rotor...and 3 hour job for both turned into a 3 day event

tonight i'm headin from boise to seattle to catch the mariners playing the indians tomorrow...then takin a little dip on down to astoria with my lady friend...if you see a silver be with a black baja hood rolln on some steelies and b4 taillights honk at me lol

[jewbaru]

sorry to hear that stu-nami. mine practically fell out haha

[BG5guy]

installed a WRX TMIC and a TurboXS B.O.V on my XT.

[Grafton]

For my '94 Legacy I am working on new '96 Outback GR-2 struts all the way around, with new springs. The front springs were both broken. I got the front struts removed and disassembled yesterday. She also needs a timing belt kit and a front axle.

[Soul Shinobi]

My shift technique is getting aggressive...

[DarkPhoenix]

Haven't been on in awhile.

Finally put my WRX Momo wheel in. I just have to get tophats for my Fozzy XT suspension, as well as a header and cats for it.

Also did pads and rotors on the Impreza.

[subie/legacy]

installed a hood bug guard or whatever its called. not sure if i like it yet, but can't complain when it was free.

[Huffer]

Just replaced my rear wiper blade & arm with a super dooper new upgrade. Shall I do a DIY write up?

[Soul Shinobi]

Yeah, do a write up! :grin: I had replaced my rear 15" wiper with an 18" one, just barely fit. What'd you do, get a full sized one off a junk car?

[stu-nami]

Well on the way back from portland I was getting gas bout 300 miles from home when a cherolet pickup back up into the front of my car and my new hood has only been on less than two weeks...so I got the estimates to get her all fixed amd the guys insurance is payiing forit all grand total is 3102.79

[DarkPhoenix]

Sorry to hear that Stu.

Haven't done anything to either Scooby yet. I will probably be doing my suspension this weekend.

Here comes the lift!!! :-)

[Huffer]

my rear passenger tire is rubbing on bumps and tight lefties, 205/55r16's but they are w i d e for a 205

Guess what I'm doing tomorrow...

finding that rub :/

[DarkPhoenix]

One of my tyres developed a tear in the sidewall, so I had to replace all 4. They were different brands anyway. I got a used set of Michelin MXV4s for cheap with a nice tread on them. Only problem is they are 205/65R15s, so the lift I am doing this weekend will be slightly diminished. Oh well, means I gotta save to find a nice set of Outback or Forester 16's to get some nice rubber on.

Washed her up the other day... Had the little lady in town. I let her drive up to Rainier and she loves it! Now if I could only convince her to start a relationship, now that would be progress! haha :love4:

Mini-meet. I'm down

[BG5guy]

took it in for a PO304 code...... scary

[harrymaneuvers]

Finished up the final drain and fill (4 total) of new amsoil ATF. Went ahead and threw on another Subaru AT filter. I also drained and filled the rear differential for the first time.

While I had time, I took a little time to investigate my reverse lights more because I am beginning to doubt that my inhibitor switch is responsible for them not working. I realized that they were both SUPER DIM?!?!?!? When I took one out... the other one got maybe 2-3 times brighter... It didnt matter which bulb or which side I had in. With one bulb in, it was brighter than if I had both in.

I am not sure if this is a grounding issue or if I just need new bulbs but at least I am not looking at a new inhibitor switch. I am going to clean up my grounds tonight and see what happens.

Moved the rubber patch that is protecting my low pressure line from being eaten through by my intercooler. Just one month and it's eaten through the rubber patch so I'll be sticking a new one in there regularly...

Unscrewed my sun visor to see if there are any wires up there to tap into - none...

[Soul Shinobi]

Removed my air dam, resecured my undertray, went for a good drive. All you need for oversteer is camber bolts.

[evolegacy]

re-tinted the taillights, made them lighter than last year so hopefully when inspection comes around they wont tell me its too dark >.<, money for starter comes in tomorrow, gonna use the leftover cash for adjustment shims and then the motor work will be complete.

[95USsubaru]

looking for head units, installed new speakers cause the others were biodegrading. messed around with the other's transmission.

nicee

[green97gt]

well..yesterday the wife decides she wants to do her own front pads and rotors, got them done after much squirming from me, cause i was watching and she was doing things the hard way...

today she says she had a chunka-chunka-chunka sound from the drivers front wheel, pull it apart to find she hadnt checked and lubed the slides and one had bound up and was rubbing the thicker pads.

removed the caliper slide and couldnt budge the slide, messed around for an hour or so, got fed up and pulled one off the white 99gt wagon in the back yard... all fixed, tho it seems the pads still rub on the rotor, not alot at all, but just enough to irritate me..thats what i get for cheap pads..

moral of the story i guess is its always quicker to do your own brakes, but if you do, then your damned by your woman cause you dont think she can....or something...

am i the only guy with that problem?

and also, i wasnt happy about pulling the one off the white wagon, i dont want it getting to parts car status....still waiting for cam bolts.

[Soul Shinobi]

Oh come on, you could have given her a hand. :grin:

[evolegacy]

picked up new starter, started to install it, then snapped the top bolt that holds it in place.......gotta rip the intake manifold off to make room for the drill.....fml

[Dead91silvia]

not a regular outback? there is a minty sus near me. under 100k miles too

here was a nice 99 SUS for sale around here, but I just dont have the funds. I'm thinking of just converting mine. All I really need is the suspension and bumpers.

I polished her out and fixed some scratches from exploring Mt Rainier a few weeks ago with the little lady... Anyway, I even used a tooth brush to clean the small gaps. Even polished the windows! Man they look clean!

Also installed my Subaru Badge of Ownership.. I like it! =)

Yeah, so I forgot to put the axle nut back on to drive to Pull a Part. I get on the freeway and lose about 90% of brakes! horrible grinding noises, etc. I limp home using back roads to discover my mistake. The rotor jiggled around and was getting eaten up by the caliper bracket every time it moved. Made it home and discovered that my wheel bearing was destroyed as well due to the excess movement. Not really a problem since I got a hub in good shape, but I'm so glad I didn't cause an accident in the process.

[stu-nami]

not mad at you for teasin hahahaha my friends manage to give me crap saying "so stu, so much for gettin 17's"...they all have trucks so 20's or bigger is what they all have....talked to tirerack earlier and hopefully 2-3 more weeks and they'll be here..goin with a 225/45/r17 prob a continental dsw extreme...or fuzion hri

Get the continentals if you can. A much better tires. when i go 17's I am getting rid of my HRI's

[evolegacy]

detailed the interior and repainted the trim, hoping to get some money to get some bondo/fiberglass to clean up some rust and fix some dents

[Soul Shinobi]

Finally found a guy to do a little fiberglass for me since I can't stand messing with rust, will have to do that soon.

Other cars: Diagnosed three codes on my brother's gf's '97 Ford Aspire, an o2, cat, and misfire code being caused by a badly leaking exhaust gasket and terrible cap and rotor (whatever those are, god I love Subaru). Replaced the front engine mount on my brother's '03 Civic, which went mercifully well. All I had to use was a breaker bar then fingers for everything, lovely.

check your local dealer too, they include cutting the key with their price usually, which can be cheaper than ordering online then paying someone local to cut it...some shops have trouble cutting the key too because of the metal alloy they use (titanium? I don't know :wink: )

Oh and its a heavy mofo, the head is like made of titanium alloy or something like that :lol:

Dropped the passenger corner of my headliner to clear out the moonroof drain line and reattach it to the port. Used some silicone sealant to attach it so it wont come off again. Yay to no more drips when it rains.

BIG NEWS...
Dip is going to part out his BD GT 04' STi since it needs a rebuild.. Guess whos taken all the goodies ;-D

=COMPLETE 04' STI SWAP=
-EJ257 DBW Longblock w/ ecu
-Custom wiring 04 GD STi -> 97 BD GT
-04' Cluster
-6MT w/ axles & DCCD
-R180 w/ axles
-Custom STi + BD steering column
-Custom STi + BD driveshaft.
-04' hubs w/ Brembos

Essentialy a plug-n-play setup.. However I am not sure about the EJ257.. the displacement may be to big for my needs but i'll see next year when it all gets plugged in.

Oh also I started grafting a 04' Sti bumper into the BD GT bumper.. Started with bumper repair kit then moved to plastic welding..

more to update when pics arrive and money is exchanged.

Can't wait to see them on the car. What's the size and offset? And what size tires you going with?

[stu-nami]

Size wise they are 17x7 with 48mm offset...I was hoping they had a deeper lip but owell not many people have the machined look...as for tires goin with 225/45r17 cuz that is what the consensus on here has been ...and I'm leanin toward the kumho asx good mileage warranty and they're z rated it will be a week or two longer b4 they're put on

Started to pull apart the 97 so I can yank the motor and tranny and wiring harness and swap it all into my 98 with the freshly blown HG. Damn shady dealers doing a horrible HG job before I bought the 98, didnt even last 30K miles. It will be nice to have my redone motor and a 5MT in the 98 though, now I just need to find a 4.11 LSD rear diff in the next 2 weeks because if I'm swapping, I want it to be with a LSD heh.

I've gotta do something about my steering play. I already have steering rack bushings. I think I need a steering column u-joint, but I'm scared of what it might cost. New balljoints and tie-rod ends would probably help too.

Lol
Still waiting on response from the house seller, there's a few sticking points because we're on an FHA loan and special one at that because I have so little credit usage that the credit bureaus cannot generate a credit score for us! Funnily, it means I fall into the category of the most wealthy Americans - multi-billionaires because they don't buy things with credit cards, they write a check. But I'm hopeful that we get it - it'll be a great place for our kids to grow up and for us to get old in. Plus, the garage is excellent shape. There's even room to expand it. It'll be nice to have a place to house the cars instead of being outside in the elements. It's 12 years old, it should get more love.

And I was kind of sick of the green/black combo - it just wasnt bright enough. When I get done with the new paint job you'll see what I mean. And everyone is doing lime green now, including Ken Block (tm).

Seafoamed the car again. (PCV valve) Last time I was a chicken shit and only let it sit for about 10 minutes.

The car feels MUCH more responsive especially at hiway speeds with the AC on. Going from 65 mph to 85mph was much quicker. The car over all feels lighter and more peppy.

Whoah whoah whoah whoah whoah whoah whoah whaoh whoah, whaoh, whoah. Whoah. Chuck, on pic 219, why does he--why, why is there an air hammer on the ground? What the hell did you need that for?
Control arms and such. Its still a Canadian car. Oh DIP never used anti-seize on any of the bolts so... you know.. Before the motor goes in I'll get all new hardware from the dealer.

Congrats man! You have your work cut out for ya! You keeping the car as a swap or just riping it out and putting it in yours? :grin:

[chuckthefuk]

Zak bought the chassis and is replacing all the Sti stuff with stock GT parts from my track shell. The Sti swap will go in when the chassis is clean and ridged.

I got new wheels. 2000/01 RS wheels. Bought 'em from allwheelsdriven.net they are in Bend,Or

[chuckthefuk]

oooooooooo.. clears 4 pots :-D

[Mx4Life]

:shock: Really? hmmmm...... Now I must find some Brembo's

[chuckthefuk]

i never said brembos.. FHI 4-pots or 06+ wrx 4-pots. They are the same.. Brembo 4-pots wont clear those rims.. shit not even the 2 pot brembo rears clear those rims. The GC rims are 16x7 so you can clear the STi Version * FHI black/red 4-pots. WRX rims are 16x6.5 so they will not clear. You need at least 17x8 to clear brembos.

[Mx4Life]

Ahh, at least I can get some 4 pots in there. I'm still learning what's interchangeable. There wasn't a big Subi scene where I was from. Ask me about any other import and I can answer it.

[chuckthefuk]

brembos will bolt on to your hubs without issues however.. you need bigger rims

That looks awesome, I know the rims are nothing too special, but they match your car well.

[Mx4Life]

I was looking to stay stock but have some style. Thanks for the comps.

Primered wheels and safety markers:

Well when I got home I hugged my car, I just about got plowed into on the I-94 during my ride home from work. Some pizza delivery dude in a 90's dodge caravan was hauling ass as traffic was getting backed up and down to the crawl right over a bridge, he took the concrete wall instead of smashing me.

[Mx4Life]

Well Bookem, Glad you and your ride are safe. I know how it is to have close calls like that.

The other night around midnight i went down a dirt road out here in Fl that i just found, was doing about 60mph on a strait part when i saw (couldnt stop fast enough) a dip in the road. long story short hit the dip, jumped the BD a few feet then noes dived into the ground. i can still drive her but

ripped out both front splash gaurds
popped out a foglight
ruined driver side front and rear wheel bearing
broke a stud on the rear driver side tire
ripped front driver side cv axle
ruined driver side outer tie rod

[httrdd]

Damn man that sux. You should never go those speeds when you do not know the trail. Who am I kidding I have done it before!

[Soul Shinobi]

You're right, but we're all guilty. Hell, I got air! :shock:

[racingking951]

Ya i know i probably should of taken a lap around first since it was the middle of the night and couldn't see that far ahead but regardless of the damage i had fun lol the worst part is the bearings that's like the only thing i can't fix myself

[jockstar]

anybody have any tips on rim color? Im looking flat black for my maroon legacy wagon. Any advice?

[TGX4776]

^gloss black is classier

[Soul Shinobi]

Dark bronze or gunmetal is sexier. But that's my recommendation for every set of wheels ever, so take that for the bias it is. :razz:

Flat black is boring. Do it up right with a nice hypersilver.
