1-3-2-4 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 cool i thought this was just for old school... LED'ed my whole dash and was going to do the ECTS but the USPS I guess was too lazy to deliver today... I did buy a new radiator cap since i think the one I have on the car is near about as old as the car.. but new radiator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sl33py Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Cup Holder!! Hard to find these (i think company went out of business), but luckily cheaper now (still too spendy honeslty). But dammit i want someplace to set my coffee! On a side note - this is w/ a full "skinny" 24oz water bottle that made it a bit tipsy. A regular cup/can of soda, or even 24'ish oz cup from drive through fit much more securely. Necessary - no. but nice to have! rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87glsubie Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 did a 2 inch suspension lift on the front with some redneck custom strut extenstions it turned out pretty good. camber isnt as bad as i figured on it being changed a lower ball joint too... which was completly fried. id swear there was at least an 1/8 inch of play. the one pic with extension next to shock was cut shorter obviously but everthing fit nice and tight.

rainman19154 Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 It's been an interesting summer... Had an electrical failure; replaced starter and then ignition switch, then the battery. I was going it with a shotgun mentality but with 200k, I figured anything I replace is gonna be an upgrade. Then in the heat of July developed a fuel delivery problem. A jy fuel pump unit complete ($5!!! ) fixed it right up. In early August the alternator died but that story was more about the $160 cost than the 20 minutes it took to swap it out.

98obster Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 just replaced the tired forester assemblies with less tired forester struts and king springs. probably sits up .25-.5" more due to the HD springs.

beataru Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Finally changed the front axles. Sounds good without the clunking. Clayed and waxed the car, Tuned the MSII a bit more, still has a way to go but it can rip tire in first kinda, and trying to figure out the water to air intercooling setup for it. OH you wanted pics? Sorry, dont have time. Maybe later though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis_Toboggan Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I noticed that I've never seen my radiator fan working. I bought some relay's, one to turn on a light when the coolant temp sens. turns on the fan, and one to bypass that circuit for a manual override. Made a mistake on my diagram, the thermal switch gets its power from the factory harness, not this circuit. 5-way relay, 4-way relay, left over connector from my bumper job, blue lighted switch, green indicator light. Did some testing, found out that the factory harness ground for the fan is shot, so I ran a fresh ground and used a butt connector to tie off the factory ground. Still a little messy, but I have the 4-way relay hooked up for the indicator light, and spliced the power-in so the fan can be fed by the factory or override circuit. Here's a shot of the 5 way circuit sitting in the place where my stereo is supposed to be (stolen before I bought the car). The main power feed is drawn from the cigarette lighter, which is switched and fuse protected, the two output circuits from the relay are also fuse protected. Note: when the fan turns on via the coolant temp switch, it still draws from the factory harness, I just ditched that connectors harness ground. This is the switch and indicator light installed. I'll go back in a paycheck or two and shorten the wires, clean up the mess a bit, probably throw in some black looms to keep them out of the way of other circuits.
