Who here owns a Subaru?

[ScoobyDoo69]

@agw_01 - please do @Vita a favour?

Can you share a picture of the underside of your bootlid to show mounting holes and brake light wiring?

Thanks

 

[ScoobyDoo69]

Thank you very much - I found a pic but would be nice to see it on yours as well.

I spotted a non-genuine spoiler on one of the cars Vita is looking at - but the owner thinks I don't know what I'm talking about

 

[ScoobyDoo69]

Ahhh, you thinking that the spoiler uses different mounting holes?

More so the brake light cable and the actual brake light itself. Holes don't look too wrong tbh.

Picked this up last Saturday. My first Subaru

It's a 2.0 Twinscroll Spec B 280PS (Import)








Thanks again to Kosta for giving me some advice

No problem, such a good looking car!

 

[ScoobyDoo69]

Just going to leave this here...

 

[ScoobyDoo69]

Weird, had no issues sharing from Google Photos before. Visible naow?

 

[ScoobyDoo69]

New turbo?

Sorry I missed this. No actually. I'll detail everything I've changed at some point. I was pleasantly surprised by the results, especially given a car before me (same model) didn't make much more than 330bhp...

Was out with the camera and a fairly clean car...


Dying to start some actual mods rather than just cosmetics but we're buying a house so it's going to remain standard for the time being

Looks so good!

I joined the Legacy club as well last week! Picked up a manual 3.0R Spec B.



MOT time tomorrow, then it's getting a comprehensive service and a decent set of tyres.

Very nice! I need to own a Legacy at some point! 3.0R with LPG would be amazing for daily mileage too.

Video from dyno plus some acceleration clips:

Don't have to look too far. I have the same and same colour

 

[ScoobyDoo69]

Sounds like a plan @EddScott ! Hopefully it works out quickly

 

[ScoobyDoo69]

Nice work, James!

@sovietspybob - same, I keep saying I want to buy one as a maybe short term daily. And in the time that I've considered getting a BRZ, @tweedbean is now on no.3 (including the GT86 variants)

 

[ScoobyDoo69]

Really do love how that looks.

 

[ScoobyDoo69]

Your flaps are missing m9.

I've SORN'd mine and I'll let the MOT expire too. Although I'm still working as normal and both of us are still on full pay, I'm using the opportunity to squirrel some money away as my mortgage deal is up later in the year, so hopefully I can take a small chunk off the mortgage if I need to.

Now I just need to clean the Subaru properly, all I've managed so far is the wheels and arches.

JDM Forester STi = win.
JDM Legacy turbo = win.
H6 Spec B Legacy = win.

Can't go wrong

 

[ScoobyDoo69]

Unless you're aiming for more power with bigger turbo I wouldn't bother.

 

[ScoobyDoo69]

So it may pose a small restriction at that point. Can't say I'd replace it for another sports cat though.

 

[ScoobyDoo69]

316mm discs are a good size. You'll see a marked improvement with good pads

 

[ScoobyDoo69]

Nice work, glad to hear it's nearly in your hands.

 

[ScoobyDoo69]

Well that's a model I haven't heard of before.

Looks nice, what's the spec/details of that model?

 

[ScoobyDoo69]

Yeah it's on my to do list to be fair.

Pretty simple but potentially effective mod and fast becoming a "must do" in the states.

Added Whiteline adjustable rear camber arms last week along with Whiteline camber/caster top mounts. Quite a lot more camber and caster going on now, makes the wheels look skinny. Wider wheels and tyres are on the to do list. Also detango'd the front and rear, plus gave it a good clean. I do love this paint (bar the fact that it's so thin of course!)

Also went to Caffeine and Machine last weekend with a quick drive and meet back up at Angel Tuning:

The sun was out and the paint was sparkling
