What have you done to your car today?

[Sub Zero]

i think it was like 2 & a half packs but yeh tyre shine will come tomorrow on payday and yeh but these are just temporary until i can afford new rims. Worst part about quality things is that they always seem to cost the most :-\

[94 Leone]

Innovative use of playing cards ;D

If you have some paint left do the insides, I can see silver when looking in the spokes.

Replaced stock swaybar links with adjustable ones from Rosssub\'s writeups, replaced LCA bushes, front/rear with Nolathane - am in love with her again!

[Roo]

Started it, run it up, filled it with water, got to operating temp, stayed there, minor leak to attend to.

So happy.

Anybody got a nissan manual driveshaft to sell me?

[scooby-wrx]

Removed the guard to get the air intake silencer box out and replace it with an air intake.

[Disruptz]

you had to remove the whole guard?

[scooby-wrx]

Yeah, decided it was easiest. You can probably get to it without removing the guard but access is rather limited and I\'m going to fibreglass an intake into the fog light cover so wanted to be sure of the best way of doing it.

[Marky]

Worth the trouble that is, I found the intake temp almost always hovered over 35 deg (in winter) without any ducting to the pod area even at 100kph, theres like no fresh air flow there on a suby. Putting a duct in solves that issue right away

Today I had someone come look at the car, she was keen and he was a dropkick who got obsessed over how low the coilovers could drop and if he could strip the bonnet back to bare carbon

"How much you asking?"

"7500"

"Will you do 7k cash?"

"... What else were you going to pay me with?"

Funnily enough he did not buy it however she still wants it lols

What were the post results and where were you measuring the temps?

[Marky]

Post what

Measured inside afm housing, inside pod filter or just in the open air in that spot

[Guest]

After you put in the ducting.

[CMPLSV]

Played around with amp/subs to drop the level of bass a lil, cleaned outside, checked all the fluid levels etc, and cleaned all the silver piping under the bonnet

So far im living up to my new years reso to wash the car every week n not just for the monthly meets hehehe

[loner]

I\'ve been replacing the trailing arm front and rear bushes... and all lateral arm bushes. I was kinda surprised to find that all four lateral

arm bushes (per side) are actually very rigid. Only the inner rear trailing arm bush has soft rubber... but it has a lot more metal in the core than the others. I hope I haven\'t wasted a lot of time and money putting whiteline stuff in there. The trailing arm bushes are definitely an

upgrade though.

[WRXER]

I washed my car..Thats about it haha

[runrabbit]

Attempted to change my front bumper - V4 to V5/6. As I thought, the last bolt didn\'t want to cooperate when removing the old bumper. It won\'t screw in or out of its nut/fitting. And I dont want to bust the bumper.

Off to buy a hacksaw tmrw. :

[Roo]

Got gearbox oil and an air filter, picked up a driveshaft and a viscous fan.

Look out because i\'m driving this fucker tomorrow

[loner]

I just bought 4 new bolts from Subaru. I didn\'t have to wait 3 weeks for them to arrive from Japan or pay a ridiculous amount of money or buy bolts to go with them that I didn\'t need. Amazing.

Is it a straight swap?

I have bumper, crystal headlights and matching grill.

Is there anything else I need?

You should be sweet. Only thing i have noticed is the new bumper has less (about half the number of) factory drilled holes in it. And try to preserve the plastic clips - they are brittle. Removing bumper shouldn\'t be an issue (hacksaw on stand-by), and sounds like you have all the parts. gl.

[Roo]

Drove it for the first time since new years last time it got driven it was diesel with a slipping auto trans. Now petrol turbo manual. Great success!

Still niggly bits to tidy up now

Lol need to seal trans tunnel, got a bit smelly when i started to boost

[DRFVDR]

Pulled the hydrostatic drive in the lawnmower apart, no drive when oil hot

[slystiguy]

I drove it around the hills. It spits flames out the exhaust and has gotten about 100km to $40 of 98 haha. It\'s fun though.
