RIP 94 SS

[ericem]

Just joined sl-i so figured I should post a few pics of my SS. A bunch of mods are coming up soon once they arrive in the mail.

ATM the only mods I have done is the wrx coolant tank, and bought some fender braces from livestrong and new GR2 struts all around on stock springs. Currently have a strut brace that needs to go in and a wrx IC.

Pics:

First time I found the car was barried under some snow at a dealership

Mod pics and a few vids should be coming up soon ordered a stage 2 chip for the ecu and intake for the wrx intercooler. About to order some sway bushings and pitch mount.

I bought the car with 191k km back in Jan 09 now currently has 206k somehow haha. Encountered a few leaks particularly the valve covers and then the water pump. After replacing a few hoses, and doing a timing belt with pulleys and the water pump no issues car has been really solid just always wanting some more power of course :grin:

Engine bay looks CLEAN! How is that possible with that many miles in a snowbelt?

[peugoby]

[ericem]

Thanks guys happy holidays!

Lookin' good, the lowering springs add alot to the looks.

[LGT Kirby]

Snowflakes from 2nd and 3rd gen Legacy GT's look AMAZING on SS'. I saw one a few days ago and almost lost it. That answers your 16" Subaru wheel issue.

[ericem]

I was going to get the 16" snowflakes but I lost alot of deals for some good condition ones. Picked up the 17"s for $600 with runflat tires.

[peugoby]

The 17's look amazing on there! If you are looking for OEM 16's go with '98 RS 5 spokes. They're IMO the best looking 16's for a 1st gen.

[MikeyMeyagi]

nice SS man... 1G leg's ftw

Horrible update :((

As some people know I got into a pretty big accident. Ill describe what happened around 9pm last night (feb 17th). I was going south on keele left lane, and there was a odyssey ahead of me in the right lane suddenly slowed down and pulled a u turn and I t boned him. He actually attempted a uturn infront of a island too!! I was doing around 80km/h police suggest I was doing less. I actually hit the side of his car and spun him around hitting the side of my car as well so I got hit twice technically. Other driver was charged careless driving.

Just looking around the car after we hit was unbelievable could never imagine my car in this shape. It looks worse than it is, rear doors still opened by handle, and driver side door opened but I was kind of week so I just jumped out the passenger side window. I remember people coming out of the nearby buildings coming out omg is the guy in the silver car alright!!!!!!! Im right here....

Another funny note accident happened directly infront of statefarm (my insurance).

Very important Thank God I was driving a Subaru! I am visually fine a bit sore mainly my ankle.

[02_Legacy]

Ohh man, bummer, glad to hear you are OK though. Are you going to get anything from the insurance company for it?

[Airgne]

damn that sucks. glad you are ok, but another one goes down.

[httrdd]

Holy crap man that is bad! Good to see you are ok.

[chuckthefuk]

:shock:

I cant believe your ok since your a tall guy and thats one hell of an impact. I feel your pain though :-(

Feel better and get well.

[Cervantes]

hoooooly poop! thats crazy! glad to see you came out of that alright, thats a serious wreck.

[Reason]

Wow dude, sorry to hear. Glad you are ok, that car was clean too. It seems like when one person wrecks their.car on here 2-3 follow, not a cool trend to start or follow.

[Navi271]

That sucks!!!! I really liked that car too. Now its a compact, I can't believe you made it out of there a-ok!

Reason, definitely not a cool trend...

[redlegacygt]

Wow dude, sorry to hear. Glad you are ok, that car was clean too. It seems like when one person wrecks their.car on here 2-3 follow, not a cool trend to start or follow.

i noticed that trend too. Atleast one good thing is they all seem to be ok!


sorry about the car man, but so glad to see your ok! :smt023

[mike-tracy]

That is painful to look at

[02_Legacy]

:cry: that is a sad sight

[mrgnluke]

Wow! How's that for Subaru safety! Glad you were able to walk away like you did...

Did the driver of the Odyssey have anything to say?

[Airgne]

engine block worth saving?

[ericem]

Actually no he didn't i assumed he was incautious they cut open his van to get him out.

And yes saved all the drivetrain, suspension, wheels, sunroof :) My new struts/springs were fine! :)

[Legacy89]

Sooo, you salvaged all the parts i need? ^^

Heard anything from the insurance co?

[DarkPhoenix]

Crumple zones FTW!! Did you get anything from the guys insurance? Since you are in the frozen north, find a nice imported JDM car. :-)

[ericem]

haha yup got almost 4g's for the car was ok but I wanted more like 7-8g's. Yet it didn't sound very possible...
