sweet setup dude, it looks like you are having a lot of fun with this car

Soon2BturbodRS · 01-03-2008, 10:11 PM

Just got these in the mail as a Christmas present from my brother

I'm thinking about painting them... don't know what color... Gold? Bronze? Silver?

Fade it so the bottom is the light silver on the bottom of your car and the top is the darker part lol. Nah, I'd go with silver (color of the bottom of your car).

SleepySubie · 01-04-2008, 07:55 AM

^ agreed

Soon2BturbodRS · 01-04-2008, 03:43 PM

And my other Christmas present

Ordered Whiteline front end links today but the local scoob shop won't have them in till Friday. Oh wells. Next weekend, the front sway + end links should go in

SleepySubie · 01-04-2008, 03:53 PM

^ local suby shop im so jealous

Soon2BturbodRS · 01-04-2008, 03:59 PM

It's the Pacific Northwest... Subaru's are all over heh. I have a few local shops and all are pretty well know

PDX Tuning :word:
Rallitek (I've had some gripes about them in the past but they're still pretty good)
Not to mention that Perrin "World Headquarters" is like 15min from my house heh gotta love it. Oh, and there are 6 Subaru dealerships within 25-35min. It's a bit ridiculous.

So, yesterday I installed my Whiteline Heavy-duty End Links (woot). Didn't notice much difference from just the end links. Maybe I felt a bit more steering feel but I doubt it.

Later, after dusk I started to install my Hella Supertones that my bro got me for Xmas. Of course, right in the middle of the install our power went out! WTf! So, here's my super sexy sensual setting I had for wiring up the relay for my Supertones

Then today, I installed my front sway bar wooot! I freakin love it. ON the maiden voyage on my lil stomping ground, I ran into a 993 Porsche Carrera 2 cabrio and had a little fun keeping up with him. The car definitely feels more composed and more agile in tight corners. I'm loving it already even tho I haven't explored it at more than 4/10.

Lastly, here's some pix from last week that I haven't posted up yet... Lusted Rd & Bull Run, N/E of Sandy, OR. Amazing roads. Encountered little to no traffic and drove to my lil heart's content

The first two are at the top of the Lusted Rd hill climb

Off of a very nice twisty section of Bull Run

On the way back home

Soon2BturbodRS · 02-02-2008, 03:23 PM

You can spy the lil supertone

(still gotta install the second one d'oh)

37,000-miles eek

And I installed my Apexcone/DDM 5000K HIDs

They turned out bluer than I had hoped. Still, the output is better and brighter than stock. The clarity of the output is better straight ahead but possibly worse to the sides. It lights up more area on the sides fur the cut-off is not quite as set in stone.

Some more HID pix:

And we got some snow today

Well, snow for like 2 hours then pure rain & slush

Soon2BturbodRS · 02-22-2008, 05:26 PM

Not too much to report... Just datalogging a lot and taking pix

Drove to some lake/state park just north of Gaston, Oregon. It was bomb

Took my chances on a little dirt/gravel road but it ended up being closed... Oh well, 4mi there slowly and 4mi back quickly
