What have you done to your car today?

[Huffer]

^ wow. I'm assuming massive wheels are going in? Cool color, I dig it.

I sure hope so!

You gonna do some cutting and buffing?

Oh, I opened the door to my car... haha

I did install a new/used alternator.. Mine was toast...

[Muse]

So, I haven't been able to get online to report, but the timeline went a little like this:
Thursday: Blew top radiator hose off radiator about a mile from home, lost pretty much all coolant. Stole replacement clamp from my derelict Neon, filled up with water, limped my way across town and back to take care of a friend's dogs, praying the whole way, as temp gauge started climbing every time I hit the gas. (I have been told this was most likely due to an air bubble, and is common in Subarus. *shrug*)
Friday: Borrowed a friend's '96 Legacy wagon, in case I need a ride during maintainance time on my car. (the car I borrowed is the car that made me fall in love with Legacies) Put car up on ramps to drain radiator of water, and flush it because, DAMN, it was grody in there. hose radiator out, put all the hoses back on and fill radiator with coolant. And the car won't start. at all. no dash lights, no nothing, no juice at all. So I fiddle around with my mouse-gnawed wiring, and nothing happens. I jump the car with the borrowed Legacy, and it starts fine. pull the cables, and my car dies instantly. I start fearing a bad alternator. Landlord/mechanic shows up, grabs diagnostic tool, determines that battery is dead. I take battery from the Neon, and try to take battery out of Legacy. I forgot to turn the ignition off, though. >.< But I didn't get zapped, and while fighting the + terminal clamp, the headlights come on. Scratching my head I hesitantly inquire, "Uh, couls a really corroded terminal mimic a dead battery?"
So, I clean the terminal, and the car fired up, no problem. YAAAY!

[eekay]

^^DROOL!!! Looks amazing.

Thanks!

^ wow. I'm assuming massive wheels are going in? Cool color, I dig it.

Yeah. Shooting for some 18x12's but I may end up having to go with 18x10 due to the turning.. Not sure yet. The color is called "Shimmrin' Glaxay Gray" made by House of Kolor. I also added some holographic golf flake in the clear coat but it's hard to tell with these crappy pictures.

I sure hope so!

You gonna do some cutting and buffing?

Oh, I opened the door to my car... haha

Yup. Still needs a bit of buffing/polishing. Otherwise, everything is already cut and working fine. No problems at all! Well, besides the fact I scrape the front end on EVERYTHING... But, this isn't going to be my daily for long. Still have my sedan to work on...

[02_Legacy]

18x12 would be epic. It already looks super sweet can't wait until you get the rims on it.

[Dead91silvia]

Not my Subaru, but it's my truck... haha....

This is my 80 Datsun 720 King Cab.... I might do a thread on it... I think I might hold the record for most members rides threads of cars I still own! haha!

This is gonna be my little Rat Rod Datsun! Someday to be body dropped and air bagged...

[02_Legacy]

today I rain-x'ed my window, installed 2 new wiper blades (well overdue), installed a new fog light bulb, installed my recently acquired Sli decal, and took some pics of my new rims for you guys.



And here is my decal placement, not exactly as I wanted it but as I was lining it up I accidentally touched the decal to the glass so that is where it ended up Still looks alright, and the best part is it matches my rims well.

[Wiscon_Mark]

Big news....I'm buying a new (to me) Subaru!

Details to come...

[Perdue]

It better be a legacy and details better come soon!

The one you were talking about with all the miles?

[Wiscon_Mark]

The one you were talking about with all the miles?

Yup. It feels/drives fantastically well for its miles. Makes my 224,000 mile car feel like a bucket of junk, frankly.

Cool! There is even a difference in driving a 95 and 99 Legacy, but I know how those drive and they are MUCH different.

[Grafton]

Pulled the JDM fog lights to rewire them the factory plugs are corroding too much

*drool* that is so much better looking than my old Ram that had the same paint scheme.

[Huffer]

^^ agreed. And it would look even more menacing with dark tint!

[amgarrety]

This. On a black car with tinted tails? You can't lose.

The green looks beast.

[02_Legacy]

ya i'm planning on tint in the near future. In MI you can have any tint on the rear windows and no tint on the front windows so I don't know exactly how i'm going to do it right now, I will probably put some tint on the front windows but not too dark, like 50% and then 35% or 20% on the rear windows.

[Huffer]

50% fronts, 20% rears, 35% rear windshield for vision at night. Baller!

[iampetro]

I've been wanting to do this for weeks, I love the look that the blacked out portion of the bumper gives. I saw it on tons of other cars and figured it was worth seeing how it looked on my car.





oh ya, went to Milton ON (just past Mississauga) for a wedding last weekend and on our way back we ran into these guys.







No Joke, there was 30 hummers and 30 APC's and the convoy streched for km's. I said to my wife I didnt think we had so many just lying around at home, watched the news that night and turns out they were american.

Everyone moved over, slowed down and gave these guys the room they deserve. I got a few thumbs up from guys in the hummers and guys standing on the APC's.

One guy on an APC blew his massive fog/air horn when I gave him the thumbs up. I certainly wasnt expecting it and boy was it loud

man those things are cool and DAMN those hummers were Jacked! so much clearance and the components u could see underneath looked like they could drive over a bomb np

[iampetro]

50% fronts, 20% rears, 35% rear windshield for vision at night. Baller!

I just did every window but the windshield in 15% a couple weeks ago.

far from legal but mad baller.

as for vision, never needed glasses and I've been told my eyes could give some eagles a run for their money
the only drawback is they are very sensitive to sunlight, a HAVE to have sunglass or im super squinty. Im fine indoors, its only natural sunlight
so the dark tints perfect...till i get pulled over


no problems at night over here

[eekay]

+1
I've done 5% all the way around (not windshield) to every car I've ever owned. My eyes are also super sensitive. I've actually looked around trying to find a doctor that could prescribe windshield tint for me. Not 5%, of course, but something like 25% or so would be fantastic.

[Huffer]

Smashed.

[Wiscon_Mark]

Oh no. What the hell is going on around here? Everyone's getting in wrecks.

[ElbryanWolf]

^^ what he said! WTF is going on clean subbies getting trashed

[Thomistopheles]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Are you ok, Huffer? That looks like one hell of a hit.

Today I cleaned my interior and put in my new Husky Liners. They fit well, but the sides are a little warped from being in their box. Should work themselves out. Brakes were supposed to be delivered yesterday...then today... and now supposedly tomorrow. Damn fedex...

[eekay]

God damnit! Pretty soon 2nd generation Leggo parts are going to cost more than Tuscan parts! It's not even the Legacy owner's fault!

[98legwag]

Holy crap. Are you ok?

[chrish8r]

Damn that a brutal looking hit...

But on another note, I picked up some nice stuff at the "U pull it" yard today.

SVX window assembly w/ motor, legacy cup holder(for xosubielegacyxo), SVX hood emblem and the sprayer nozzle for the back wiper.

[evolegacy]

installed H&R lowering springs today, the drop wasnt as much as I thought it was going to be but its still nice, gotta fix the sagging ass though xD



forgive my lil bro, he's a pain in the ass

planning to get spacers for the rear to fix the sagging booty.

[eekay]

Seriously saggy butt. What does it look like without anyone in the back seats? Not sure if you've found it yet, but Paranoid Fabrications sells the saggy-butt spacers that will work. Otherwise, care looks great!
