Off to the snow this weekend, but dont let that hold you lads back. Sneak peak into my week. guards are alot different on this 04 model than what the INTERNET has told me. But so far its all good differences Cheers @ADIKT Guard roller works a treat and didn't even need to lengthen the strut

Solid work man! looks good

Keen to see this, need to sort my guards out too. This could be a good information gathering day

That a weekend thing is it? Lmk if you need someone to come sit on a chair and watch. Your Wagon is going to be a weapon in the bends.

Its been there for a couple days now so its more like a squelch, slap noise

Sometimes when I run over the neighbors cat it makes a similar noise. Sorry, no idea.

Managed to get out and about and see how it drives on the open road, so polite, so smooth. Stoked with how it handles now that its on coilovers, not shabby at all.

I cant see any issues, should be good to go. by the look of that one on TM it is an old Rage unit so the flange maynot fit with the stock mid-pipe. little things like that you have to keep in mind. @evowrx If you have a moment proof read the above banter. chur chur

Pretty sure you're cruising with a vf of some sort so shouldn't be an issue but others on here are far more knowledgeable than me so hopefully they can confirm. single scroll vf that is

Never personally done it, but I think on these there is a flange just after the L bend that you can remove and kinda bash away from both sides but I wouldn't count on a perfect result without cutting it up. Personally I'd either buy a proper bell-mouth decat downpipe, or cut the cat out and have a section welded in. Boom http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/subaru/engines/auction-1369534933.htm

Just hang a bag of Whiskas on the tip bro. coax that sucker out in no time. Unsure how to get a cat to wof though. thats mostly a dog thing. ......Sorry, I'm more sarcastic that usual on a friday... You can bash them out with a combination of tools or cut it out entirly and weld in a new section but thats a whole other set of tools

I think I might start a build thread and keep this for the pretty pics etc. but here is some content for y'all in the meantime. Picked the car up at 3pm today 4:30pm Moments later And made it Cheers mate, desperately need to get legacy bump stops haha

Yea I got it haha, funny how I checked everything on the car before purchase but not the lights . Also I guess Ajay was on it re the taillights triggering the traction control dash light. which only happened when i flicked the lights on now I think about it... Will have a look tomorrow when its no so cold out

Cheers guys, all good information. I think i've found what I want for now.

We're going to need to get a couple exclusive Outback shots very soon.

Email these lads https://www.adenstyres.co.nz/ Been getting prices from them via email and they're super onto it. Unfortunately their website lets them down a little and they seem to be a little pricey but thats hard to tell considering I've got no one to compare them to, Hyper also dont have the wheels I want

1800-2000 unsure how thats related though? Yea, will consider them. But I'm not a fan of their work to be honest. Cheers

Looking to pickup some new wheels for the wago when I get one. Any recommendations for places to shop. not interested in second hand, just want to pickup a set without getting taken for a ride. So far i'm probably going to pickup a set from https://www.adenstyres.co.nz/ unless someone has more information for me. anyone dealt through these lads before? Cheers!

fronts not needed? I guess there are none as its all part of the shock eh

@JGM Didnt even think of looking new, those are reasonable price. should have just raxed them out of the ol BE haha. but yea i'll probably do a pick a part dive this weekend. was just keen to get them shipped to my doorstep being an office going bloke and all I try sort everything from my desk

scarles used to stock these yea? cant find any but the hardrace stuff and thats out of stock at redline too. @evowrx is this something you could get http://www.whiteline.com.au/product_detail4.php?part_number=KTA124

Contacted 3 wreckers so far and they all reply "Sorry sold" EVERYONE'S lowering their outbacks! Was trying to get something along the lines of these https://www.redlineperformance.co.nz/product/hardrace-subaru-legacy-rear-upper-camber-arms/

@JGM @ADIKT I don't have an outback yet but the day will come and when it does I have no interest in being in public with it at standard ride hieght so working on gathering the required parts already. In regards to the bump stops, do you think I could trim them down or just forget it and try find some legacy stops from a wrecker?

Yea mate, this has been in the planning for longer than you know haha. Looking at 8.75 with 235/40 tires. But probably need to get a car to test fit before I get too carried away. Test drove an 04 today, pretty happy with how the 3L goes aye. Yip got all the details on massaging the guards, cannot wait Probably wont make the meet but keen to checkout your car in person again and have a better look at wheel fitment etc.

hmmm good to know, 18x9.5 25p sounds polite. I like it.
