June 3, 201213 yr Well lets see, my dad's mom (my grandmother) bought this car 2 years after it came out. its been sitting for 10 years and revived the past year. Original i got in a accident Digital dash Sti wing, and Hks - Ti exhaust (3.5 inch) HID PROJECTOR conversion. it just rolled over 123,456 miles. the pneumatic air suspension system worked but one strut after another started to go so it got swapped to coil overs.

June 3, 201213 yr Not to sure about the Wing, but it's looking good otherwise. How many Subaru's do you own? This is the 3rd one you've posted about.
June 3, 201213 yr Author I personally own 4 (brat, gl10, xt6, gl carbed, and my parts wagon) then my mom has one 97 outback legacy and my dad has 2 justy's.
June 5, 201213 yr Author I think the wing is too rounded for that body style, but to each his own! It's the boxyist wing I could find for a Subaru that's not aluminum. But it works. 75mph and up you feel the rear grab. And if it's windy you don't get thrown around. But recently (the other day) it started burning quite a bit of oil... And I don't know why...
June 6, 201213 yr Not a fan of that wing either but I would love to see a video to hear that exhaust.
June 6, 201213 yr Author Not a fan of that wing either but I would love to see a video to hear that exhaust. its 2.5" turbo back (does have 1 cat). But this is the best video i have right now. http://s1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa340/conifersubaru/?action=view¤t=IMG_0460.mp4
June 6, 201213 yr its 2.5" turbo back (does have 1 cat). But this is the best video i have right now. http://s1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa340/conifersubaru/?action=view¤t=IMG_0460.mp4 Sounds good. Probably about level with my STi at idle.
June 21, 201213 yr Author I have gotten my last 2 oil changes thinking they were using 10w30, and this past month i started to smoke and burn oil, today i found out subaru uses 5w30 where its recommended that you use 10w30, got it swapped out and haven't seen white smoke at all!!
June 22, 201213 yr Author Found this while digging through my photos, its when my air struts started braking.
June 25, 201213 yr WOW who knew an ea82t sounded SO GOOD!!! i miss my 93 loyale.. straight exhaust w/ glass pack that could be heard a mile away...
June 28, 201213 yr Author I love how it sounds! Heres some pics of the hid projectors HIGH Beams Low beams
August 12, 201213 yr Author well i went to the junkyard to work on my friends jeep. and while i was there i got a spare gl10 turbo, and a rare lower lip (not the rx spoiler). and got another air compressor for the struts. My water pump and clutch fan are also being repaired.
August 13, 201213 yr Author Are your projectors done the same way Turbone did his? yes they are, mine are a different brand/ company then his tho.
August 13, 201213 yr You polished the lenses and everything the same way though? Just curiius if there are any other ways to do it is all.
August 13, 201213 yr Author No worries... I used the headlight polishing kit. You have to make sure you have fine fine grit to finish them
August 24, 201213 yr Author Well, ive got some more parts Waiting to pick the rx body kit up! And am getting a rx tranny to replace my horrid push button Edited August 25, 201213 yr by shortysayhi
August 25, 201213 yr Author Now my next question is.... If I go 5 lug (xt6 hubs) will I run into a problem with the spline count in the axles vs the ones on the hubs? Or should I get 6 lug wheels like O.C.D got for his brat? The white 15's.
August 25, 201213 yr Now my next question is.... If I go 5 lug (xt6 hubs) will I run into a problem with the spline count in the axles vs the ones on the hubs? Or should I get 6 lug wheels like O.C.D got for his brat? The white 15's. Id go with something that you don't run into problems with haha. 6lug hub drill is pretty sweet, to save time for me I drilled the rims to fit my turbo 4 lug, 15" yota rims look really nice on my Subaru! the re drilling the hub looks a little more sleek. Haha -Prwa AAE
August 25, 201213 yr Author If i went with the 6 lug wheels. i would only use 4 bolts. and not drill my hubs or rotors. So thats what I'm thinking. which means when i get my 15 wheels, my FLAT SPOKED jackmans will be up for sale!
August 30, 201213 yr Now my next question is.... If I go 5 lug (xt6 hubs) will I run into a problem with the spline count in the axles vs the ones on the hubs? Or should I get 6 lug wheels like O.C.D got for his brat? The white 15's. Which end are you concerned about? The rear is bolt it up and go. To save time with mine I just bolted up the trailing arms from an XT6 with the hubs and brake parts still on there and was done. With the front, you shouldn't have to really do anything axle wise except make sure you have the ones that match your hubs. You're already the more desirable/easier to convert 25 spline tranny stubs since yours is a turbo car.
August 30, 201213 yr Author im more concerned about the spline count on the hubs vs my turbo axles. Also im concerned about changing spindles... i dont want to change spindles... if i can just replace the hubs that would be awesome since i have brand new suspension on the front and rear....
August 30, 201213 yr I was torn as well but then realized two things. 1 - less work in the end. My brat doesn't need a swap cause, well, it is never going to benefit from it. 2 - I can always pop out the extra lugs and move the others back to stock and use my stock wheels for some reason. Like if i ever get a hold of some Jackmans?!?! lol I dunno as I am biased but the modern size and tires worked out great I think. Gave the Squirrel just enough to make her different but not too much.
