Started the "Outbackification" of my 97 Legacy L. got the struts in and am rounding up all the spacers and bolts for the body lift. Putting in a new L front caliper as the bleeder broke off and the extractor broke off in the bleeder and well....Jesus, new caliper time.

 

Also got the driver side seat belt replaced, was frayed to hell. Called the local guys (Royal Moore) and got told to get f***ed, so went to Carr in Bvtn and was done and out the door in less than an hour all covered by the warranty. Moral of the story: go to Carr.

...a crappy digi camo'd wagon lol

 

I Don't Think your Wagon is Crappy...

The howling from the bad pump and the clacking of the cv in the corners of my 93 leggy was driving me f**king crazy, so, this last weekend:

Passenger side front cv/half-shaft,

new power steering pump,

New exhaust piping,

new muffler,

replaced throttle body sensor.

I can hear my stereo over the car now! Once I have all the broken stuff fixed (heater and window seals next) then its time for the OB strut lift and lighting upgrades

Replaced Genuine thermostat and gasket. To damn cold to do this stuff out side.

 

-0 W/C.

me either, it was a figure of speech from the point of view of the dumb wrx/sti owners who know nothing about old subaru's. I love my car, and i hate it, thats ok because it loves/hates me too, and lets me know when I anger it

Got my throttle body preheat line to quit leaking green stuff... Couple of pics of my wagon too.

I have a brat like that.... Also I totally get where you are coming from with *most* Wrx owners, I started with my Brat and then moved to a Wrx (still have the Brat plus an ea81 wagon and a gen one lego) Some of the kid's I go to collage with just don't fully appreciate the older gen Subarus, all they think about are turbos and shiny wheels It's obnoxious!!

When people don't like my car, I feel smugly superior because they don't know what they're missing.

went from this broken trim piece

to this after removal, fiberglass bondo, and paint (painted and fiberglassed on the kitchen counter/bathroom for paint.

 

the paint match is darn near perfect, some leftover duplicolor wheel paint i had laying around, over top of several good primer coats, then 2 coats of clear. Its hard to not tell it was painted.

 

pulled out the broken rear stabilizer endlink here

installed the new one ( i got a set of 2 new in the suabaru pakage off ebay 2 of these for 12 bucks that includes shipping)

 

removed the non working radio and installed this which i scored off ebay for 39 shipped (its the 6disc with cassette from a 03 wrx)

only to find out i still had no sound, so dig into the door panels, and all speakers are non functional, so i installed a pair of polk audio's i had laying around in the front doors, and just bought a 22 dollar set of new pioneers on ebay that will go in the rear doors.

 

all in a non heated garage in the very cold of about 23 degrees.

Don't feel bad, it was 6 degrees today while I was changing a thermo in my EA82 (Now thats cold, and it was snowing!)

2.2 swap

 

oil gauge diamond plate pod

Checked the Tranny fluid in my EA82 (Full) Ready for winter!

Replaced temperature sending unit in my '91 Loyale.

 

Now all cluster gauges are working.

Started it, needs a new alt bad. I dont think ill drive it very far.

This.

Got my winter tires mounted today.

 

I flipped the spare over, fabricated a new hold down for it, and squeezed in a small road tool box and shovel under the hood.

 

At least there is something good to say about having such a tiny rump roast motor.

 

 

I cranked up the B-52s and tore up Waukesha in the EA82.

funny because I BLASTED the Beasty Boys in the hood of dallas and got funny looks from the locals...:lol:, (btw, I have a phoenix gold 10, and amp and a sony 8 all back there) my roof rack rattles like he!!

"Now your mom took away your best porno mags... Pu55y"

 

LOL!

this morning i put some rtv type stuff on the cross bars for the roof in hopes that they would stick again and my roof wouldnt rattle anymore : D

Used the hood of the '88 Wagon as a workbench while attempting to repair my Salamander type heater.

All to "no joy" though... Looks as though it's the circuit board that is bad. There's $70.00+ I don't have. :-\

 

Looks like there's some cold wrenching to be done on the Wagon now. Brrrr....
