    DarkPhoenix's 2005 BP Outback - It's Dead Jim 01 Jul 2016

    Well, the 02 is gone, but a new OBW has taken it's place.

    It's a 2005 Satin White Pearl With Titanium lower cladding. It's a high mileage car, but it has had most of the major headaches taken care of, head gaskets 1st and foremost. It came with a warranty as well, so when the wheel bearings go (which I am starting to hear grumbling) I know they will get fixed. So far, I only put about 50 miles on it and I already want to change the suspension. I got so used to how "tight" my 02 felt compared to this car, but it rides nice. Enough chat, here's some snaps.









    I plan on keeping the mods pretty basic. Two things that need to be done straight away is the suspension and the radio situation. For the suspension, I am torn between just dropping it with an LGT setup, stock of course, or keeping it at stock ride height with BH struts front and back with a big ass RSB. I know the stock ride height will be the cheapest route, but these cars look so hot dropped. As for the radio, since I lucked out and have a base model, I have manual HVAC controls, so a double-DIN aftermarket head unit is going in. Gotta talk the wife into letting me buy that, since she is getting me a PS4 for Christmas, and I bought myself a new handgun for my birthday. I will post what I am doing with it. As much as I would love to swap this for a leather interior, my wife wasn't too fond of the leather in the BH, so I will keep it cloth for the time being, just give it a good cleaning.
