Nice build, did you plastidip the grill while it was on the hood or remove it? Also nice choice on your future muffler, I have a wrx twin tip on my 01' legacy!

I took the grill off. Yah, friend was parting out his WRX wagon so I took the muffler. Another friend said he'll give me a 27" glasspack that'll replace the resonator and muffler when I do a muffler delete. The WRX muffler will go on if it gets too loud.

Well, I look forward to seeing you auto-x at WBM.

Finally got a picture of my babies together.


Went to an FCSCC Autocross in their big lot with friends. Had a great time, definitely going back.




Had fun with the Outback's fogs while changing the bulbs out for new Hella Optilux XYs.

Wicked Big Meet Autocross!














Clinched 2nd out of 5 in the N/A class.

[Muse]

Damn, man... I know I said it before, but I'm really mad I missed seeing you run.

[Redcam1]

Installed this the other week, finally getting around to updating thread.


Thanks for the bar rougeben83, it's fun!

Getting the endlinks off was a real PITA


Patience prevailed!




Probably gonna get some washers to make my self feel better about the bolt not slipping through


Cutting it close on the exhaust, but it has yet to hit or rattle


New front rotors! R1 Concepts E-line slotted to be installed with Stoptech Street Performance pads.

Mods list updated

[Muse]

Getting yourself ready for WBM autocross next year? Or are you dropping the money for Wicked Big Track Day?

[Redcam1]

Nah, can't afford WBTD. Just wanted a bigger RSB, but it'll help with other auto/rallycrosses leading up to next year's WBM.

[Muse]

I might just go watch. that's only, what, $20?

[Redcam1]

I'm probably going to watch as well.

[Muse]

Maybe we can meet up. You know, instead of yelling out the car window at each other.

[Redcam1]

Haven't touched this for quite some time. Got a lot of parts on the car, and more to put on. Gonna try to do this in order the best I can.

Old COBB CAI and STi Genome Strut tower brace



RS gauge pack from a friend, just need it all wired up.



Got a really cool RFRB grill that has an L7 badge holder on it.



Found some Forester wheels at a junkyard for winter wheels.



At the same junkyard as the wheels, grabbed an 04 bumper.

[Redcam1]

Again the junkyard provails, got a wood grain Momo



Mocked some lights up to the new Rally Innovations light bar.



Bought some 16x7" Speedline Preo-R's



Couple pictures from a meet today. Genuinely surprised someone took pictures of it.

[Redcam1]

Hella 500FFs driving lights came in today and mounted them on the light bar. PIAA multicolored fogs to soon follow.

[Redcam1]

Lowered it today on Legacy length struts and H&R springs.
