What have you done to your car today?

[ADIKT]

Did I mention I now ****ing hate plastidip???????

[Marky]

Yeah if it's too thin it is a biiiiitch to remove

If it's on quite thick it just peels off quite nicely

If you've got like, flecks of it, just rub it with your finger

Installed V7 STI HID headlights in my MY02 WRX. Real happy with the way it turned out. Tricky bit was finding out which wire was high beam and low beam but once we sussed that it was piss easy!

[SpeedySub]

Fixed the rattly speaker in the drivers door. Now to fix the rattle in the passenger side! Im sure the speaker has come loose too, but there is another noise I can't seem to locate.

Lock/latch rods.

Thats what I thought, but not sure how to stop the rattling, I did put some foam behind it but didn't help. Also it seems to sound like its coming from the front area of the door and sometimes I swear its around the glove box. Havent been able to pin point it

Finished the vband on my headers and uppipe , no leaks works perfectly, far better than the stupid 2 bolt gasket setup.

Bought from Brendan at pro wholesale, step type 2.5 inch, certainly look like they can take the strain. I'm over the gaskets, complete pain in the ass, especially when they only last 7 laps on low boost.

[Kiwi_Fozze]

Duuuude those look awesome

Got the wheels pointed in the right direction now, after new Super-Pro bushes everywhere in the front, and new rack-ends and tie rod-ends.

Drives like a new car!

Now to start on the rear...

Here did you get them from? and how much? if you don't mind me asking. Im starting to put a list together of bits I'm going to get when I get my bonus. Looking at doing all the bushes and suspension stuff.

[SpeedySub]

Failed my warrant! Both steering rack boots split. Have been quoted $75 per side to replace. Seems reasonable to me.

From Dave, and the Tardeme seller from Straya for the ones he can't get.

Drove all three of the cars I was considering for replacements (inside of my minimal budget at least)

All three left me underwhelmed, which is a shame

Maybe the old girl isn't so bad afterall (or I need to make more moneys)

What cars did you test drive?

[Andy_Mac]

What were your considerations?

Come fake your way into HVAC, many moneys, free car, easy job

[Marky]

Tried a few/many cars (helps I work with them all day) - but a ten min drive in a car is quite different to living with it I guess

Considerations are a) wagon, b) has to go semi good or the potential to c) post 2000

No to a 3.0 legacy

Tried all sorts, the ideal is an old S4 wagon (the 2.7TT kind) but they're few and far between, may settle for an allroad - they look kinda pimp with the flares color coded and late model rims, still can go like a cut cat, and they can be had for $cheapas

Assuming the suspension hasn't fcked out

Why no legacy 3.0?
