Hi guys/girls,
So i'm new to the forums here, been wondering around them looking at things for sale and peoples builds and thought it would be nice to actually introduce myself and my car.
(Don't have any pics of her stock but here it goes)
After about 3/4 months of ownership she decided she didnt like the engine that was in their so threw a bearing......wooooo
(My lil man helping with daddys 'race car')
Engine being pulled
New engine ready to go in
Once i had this changed out and running again i decided it was time to change out the rims as almost everyone here in the car scene ha BBS reps of some sort, so this is what i acquired instead.
Avid.1 AV-50 18 x 8.5 +35 complete with muteki lug nuts
Whilst i was changing rims over i decided to change the engine mounts for new ones along with lower control arms, ARB links and steering rack end links.
Test fit for clearance
Next came the question of keeping them the transparent gold they came in or being bold and different. Decided to go with the later and here's how they came back.
Fitted on the car
Got tired of the "Nice subaru comments" so got a new sticker
On the way back from a local car meet and a loose rock on the freeway decided to pay me a visit.......was not impressed
And as she stands today
And the lil man again helping clean
Plans are to forge and boost so if anyone does have anything popping up kit wise hit me up and ill update as things progress.
UPDATE 29th Dec 16
So other the last couple of months I've been compiling my turbo components.
Then came the time to start installing once i had time off of work to allow for any set backs.
Fluids in before first start.
So she boosts well and pulls hard. This took us 3 days just because of a couple of minor set backs (waste gate actuator bracket facing the wrong way, and some wrong sized silicone couplers) but other than that everything is well. no i need to dyno
