Drilled out busted screws, cleaned out threads, new undertray installed. Very happy, and lucky as hell as I nearly put the drill through the bottom of the radiator.

Also, installed gfb ebc, just got to finish up the wiring and work out where the hell to mount it.

Picked up new downpipe Friday after work, its a gorgeous 3inch number, but its a 3inch midpipe flange too. So, i'll have to approach redline and see if they'll sell the catback section of one of their full kits

Or, get the factory midpipe adapted to suit.

Pics and build thread plz.

Dropped the outback off to Ajay (Subirex) with a big to-do list lol

100k service:

- Oil + filter

- Power steering fluid + flush

- Brake fluid + flush

- Trans Fluid + flush (the expensive bit)

- Radiator fluid + Flush

- 6x Spark plugs

- Upper engine cleaner

- Front and rear diff oil replacement

- New pads all round + all rotors skimmed

- Air filter

- Cabin pollen filter

- Fuel filter

WOF

Re-set TCU and maybe put new PAK files on to stop the thump from 2nd to 3rd

Check:

-Noisy pulley/tensioner/idler when cold

-Weird clicking noise when accelerating (not cv clicking) sounds like driveshaft or some ****

I think thats everything

If uou dont mind me asking, how much did he quote you on these?

My outback is nearing the 100k mark and needs this service.

Did you provide the parts?

[Guest]

100k service includes timing?

- Radiator fluid + Flush

- 6x Spark plugs

- Upper engine cleaner

- Front and rear diff oil replacement

- Air filter

Is it odd that a 100k service doesn't include cambelt, waterpump etc?

Not at that price. Would normally be a seperate job but 100km is the going rate also.

[Guest]

Damn thats rough for it only being at 100k, or is it the 2nd 100k service?

The first - oh well.

Should be a dream to drive when I get her back

Those idlers are bloody expensive from Subaru or aftermarket, or you can buy the bearings yourself and replace them... costs about $6. You do have to have a BFH or a proper press to get the old bearing out, and whatever you do don't lose the stupid captive nut on the back of the tensioner!

I honestly don't have time to do most of this myself at the moment - trying to balance uni, work (currently doing two peoples jobs) and my non-existent social life - proving rather difficult.

Oh well. Here's to being broke for the next week or two haha

looked at it and went "ehh" and started week two of not driving it.

[Dairusire]

What did I do on my car today (actually yesterday but w/e)? Absolutely freaking nothing.

However things did snowball with engine rebuild.

It basically started like the below.

"just a freshen up, new bearings"

"Oh, it's an open deck block"

"Oh look, my friend has a Closed deck block for sale, good for high power / reliability"

"Oh while it's apart, I may as well nitrate the crank for ACL race bearings"

"Oh, If I'm doing that may as well forge the entire bottom end"
