one small up date, got my state patrol appt settup, usually they are 4-6 weeks out, i was able to get in in 2weeks.

also ordered my lower H-brace, STB, SS braided brake lines, 99-01 crystal headlights, as well as a kartboy short shifter and knob.

Sweet place

That subie junk yard looks dope. If we have a spot like that here i'd be there pretty much every weekend.

 

[The Scooby]

spent over 2 hours the other day cleaning it. i drove her home, washed the outside, then spent about 1.5hours vacuming out the car and wiping everything down. including removing the consol and such to soak in simple green. also fixed and charged the a/c so its working now.

the girl that owned it was clearly a smoker and pot head, i found like 3 joints under the center consol and i hate how they used the coin holder as a ash tray. also under the drivers seat alone there was enough old french fries to fill a McDonalds large fry thing.

the interior was discusting. but now she is all clean and smelling good. monday morning she gets the new windshield also i hope to be grabing up a set of eibach wrx wagon springs sunday (tomarrow) and get those on the car as well as a set of 02/03 wrx wheels.

X2 on what Trix said. I would spend the majority of my day there.

another update,a buddy of mine called me up and gave me a set of wheels. 2.5RS 5spokes. also my lower H-brace showed up, got a new windshield in today, and finally i got a 98 legacy outback 18mm rear swaybar on.

post #6 for updated pictures.

 

[Trix]

Nice updates! That h-brace will sure keep things solid. I think you could go with a bigger rear sway bar than 18mm.

 

[The Scooby]

post #7 for updated pictures with new windshield and new rims on.

ya i liked the idea od the H-brace, but it doesn't fit my car, for turbo only. oh well, guess ill have to get some other one, or make my own.

 

[The Scooby]

just got back from WCSS #10 (West Coast Subaru Show) ended up getting a JDM WRX Nardi wheel, Rallitek urathane tranny mount, as well as a set of PIA carbon fiber pedal set.

got all of it for $3, gotta love the raffle tickets.

[The Scooby]

small update, got my MY98 bumper on with the home de-pot front lip, leveled out the suspension so it looks better, got my steering wheel in, polished my stock muffler, and got my rallitek poly tranny mount in and boy a world of difference that made.
