Well beast safely made it home after a good 4000k road trip, what an epic!
Not without casualty though, he suffered a puncture which remains unrepaired, needs to be topped up every second day or so... The right front wheel bearing is fucked, and to make it home I had to tighten up the hub nut twice to take up some slack. several new knocks and clunks have appeared too, so time to limp into the garage after a proper clean and heal up over the coming months.

Well started taking beast apart for his post road trip fix up. When I popped the car up on stands, I noticed a puddle under the front... Great, his 4th blown rad! Well that's what you get with used, will get it repaired, it is a nice calsonic after all. Popped the flat tyre off the rear to get it repaired, as aaaaand turns out the rims cracked! Joy, his second too. Wondering about a set of v7 wheels. At least the wheel bearings cheap, $60 genuine, 25 and 30 for each seal though.

So I've been lazy, beast is still on stands downstairs, with no drivers hub attached, still no radiator replaced, but at least I've got the wheel sorted, got yet another spare, this one's in a terrible state, so sad panda...
Radiator I've got coming in is an OEX, should be alright, I'm not terribly impressed with their quality, but it's brand new so happy days. And replacement steering knuckle and hub I got has been sitting in a paddock for a while and is coated in rust, so I'm still keen on doing it's wheel bearing since I have one ready to go (I should point out I have already tried to replace the bearing in the old hub, but the hub was ROOTED). I just have to swap wheel studs over, cause the studs on the new hub are COATED in rust... That said, the hub face looks fine, just a bit of surface rust on top, so I'll see about trying to get the rust off and inspecting the threads on the new hubs to see if they'll be fine. If not, I've been given a neat trick to get the old studs out of beasts fucked hub without hurting the threads.
SO yeah, slowly progressing, should be back on the road soon, next pay probably.

I'm starting to wonder if my rad is starting to go in my GT-B. Is it common? Or just because you beat the hell out of yours? LOL
Me and rads have a special relationship. Between me and my dad we've been through 8, if not 9 rads. I wouldn't say its that common, I'm just spethal.

I actually thought the one in my GT-B had a leak, but it was just me being sloppy. haha
Beast with one of his kin, the second 'minibeast' as we call it! There was a trio of GTB-LTD's that got singled, 'Beast', 'Snowflake' and this un-named banana wagon... I did Beast and Snowflake (a good mates white ltd), then our friend Jason picked up the banana and singled it himself. I had already moved down south by the time it was done, so it's a very rare sight to see these two together! They live on different islands!
More later

I would be excited to find a JDM RS in that yellow... I dunno why but I like it. Whats with his fogs? They look different then stock. I need a new one anyway so would be cool to know what ones he used.
Both looking good though.
The fogs look like Hella 500s to me.

So yes, weekend before last we took the Beast for a road trip. This time not quite as far as Auckland, but did go across the ferry. The destination; Flat-nats. NZ's first national (all inclusive) Subaru mega-meet. There were two of us that came up from queenstown, "Alf" the BC I posted up a few weeks ago, and the ever broken Beast. Thankfully Beast managed to stay intact for the duration of the drive! I also got to experience the good ol Beast too, the car that earned the name sake... For the first time in 5 years, I was back at 19-18 PSI on 98 octane, and what a wicked car! Sadly I lost my memory card, so all the pics of the track ready BRZ, and the two 22B's that I fulled the card up with are gone forever, probably sitting in some car park in Palmy' North...
So here's some stolen intellectual property.

More pack run and Dyno. The BC pulled 95 KW at the wheels and beast Reuben's GTB got 176 KW at the wheels (The BC had a fuelling issue and boost leat, turns out the FPR was nackered, it's been replaced, and she goes well now, a shame we coukldn't get a good dyno run out of it!)

I wish there was more support for the 1st gen legacy's around here. :/ If I could I would trade my Outback and get a 1st gen to twin with my all-trac and as always your car is still looking great!

Those sti pink laterals where did you get them? What should I be searching for when I'm looking thank you
Second gens are basically first gens in drag, there's very very very little in the way of maintenance stuff that that doesn't fit a first gen from a second gen. Take the rear sway bar links... If your first gen snaps a link, you can't replace it here... So when this happened on my mates BC, we just retrofitted BG rear laterals with the C-style rear link, and slapped on a GTB 19mm rear bar while we're at it. Bam, done.
As for interior bits, if central locking fucks out out or something like that, a bit of tenasity and a fine touch, and you can-dissassemble any components and repair it, it's usually just a burnt contact or snapped spring or something, nothing you can't custom. They are old cars now, as much as it pains me to say it, so you gotta act like an old car owner, and just get in there and figure out a solution, nothing more to it than that!

I'm a horrible person, there's posts as far back as 2014 on this page, I've moved house 3 times since then!!! I never update this thread anymore
WELL. Beast is out of storage again, been semi daily driving him for 2 months now, and god damn it feels good. What a great car...
A year or two ago when Regular Car Reviews was still small, he was putting the e-mail address at the end of each vid to say "hey, email me you car and location, I may reply!" well he never did, untill about 2 weeks ago. Long story short he's on holiday here in NZ and was swinging by Queenstown, we got to talking, and I ended up lending him my BC to drive around in while he's here, and today he did a P.O.V drive in the Beast. Cool! He's a nice guy! Keep an eye out on the channel, it may be several months, but the vid may pop up sooner or later.
In other news, been getting an idle control CEL on and off... My idle now drops and nearly stalls when comming off the gas.. and i've changed the control unit twice... Gotta get off my arse and test the wiring, see if there's high resistance anywhere... Fitted a new OEM o2 sensor in the mean time to try get back to the fuel economy this car used to get 10 years ago when it was still sorta new. I know the economy drop will be from the drifting calibration of the aging sensors, nothing else has changed that much since the single conversion... I will have to stump up for a new air flow meter too at some stage, as a matter of preventative maintenance... Sad to think I got this car when it was 9 years old... it's now legally old enough to drink in the states... I stand by my word, I WILL NEVER SELL THIS CAR. <3
