It warms my very heart seeing a performance car well cared for.....
I am willing to bet my number 18 has the fewest miles on it.....
Coming back from Empire Casino,,,where Thetoad won 2200 on a Deux of Wheel Of Fortune games the odometer told me we had traveled 33,784 miles,,,many on the PA. Turnpike .
I'm doing my best to keep up with you. 52k on my #35. It's now a summer only vehicle.

yeah, it's becoming real clear why people roll this way. I actually pulled a bad black plastidip job off them when I got them. didn't even clean the wheel first, or put on very many coats except the very front. pain just to peel.
was going to rattle can em too, with Wurth paint, but with a baby on the way, I just don't have the time these days, and expect to have none when she arrives.
gah. need to become independently wealthy, quickly, somehow...
I've gotten quotes for around $100 dollars a wheel for powder coat. This was a few years ago but I would expect it hasn't changed all that much. Maybe something worth looking into?

Anyone else find the irony in that they are subtle radiator and alternator shrouds?
-
They are the same. That sucks though bc you're odometer will be different. Just get something with lower mileage
:lol: Just kidding Ok, I wasn't sure with the tinted lens thing. They can reprogram it to be the same mileage. Dealer will take care of it supposedly. Also I can't get much lower mileage and have it be believable for my year

Does anyone know if there's a difference between the 06 spec.B clusters and an 06 GT cluster? My cluster might have to be replaced to fix my speedo issue and I want to make sure it's right.

Did you forget a zero?

Go on....

is that paint or vinyl?
-
has anyone used the H&R sports springs for the STI on their 4th generation legacy?
gonna assume they won't work as I don't believe the struts are the same
-
It seems like most of you replace the struts along with the springs. My Bilstein's only have 15k miles on them so I'd rather not swap them out just yet.
I need a good daily driver spring that has a mild drop. Just looking to even up the wheel gap. Nothing too crazy.
definitely wouldn't change your struts. mine had 75k on them, so that's why I changed them at the same time. I would go with rallitek or eibachs on bilsteins
-
im on kyb's and ralliteks. would've liked to get koni's but the money difference wasn't justifyable. I love my set up though especially with sways etc.
-
how did you make it 154k miles on a set of struts?
-
you can run spacers with an adapter plate. probably not the best, but people do it
-
Just installed my ralliteks today. so far so good
-
i have a question, what type of wheel is on the spec. B? BBS, OZ?Subaru
I always thought they were enkies. Most of the wrx wheels are
-
im sure there is somewhere near you willing to swap
-
Willing to swap? I'll pay shipping charges both ways!
that's gonna be expensive
-
perrin makes 27 mm bars?
-
oh yeah. now that is teh sex
-
do you have stock struts still with 88k miles? Because you should replace them
-
will I wear them out drastically quicker? Ralliteks are a pretty mild drop so I don't think they'll be too terrible. I just can't justify the extra price for the koni's or coils since it is only a DD. I drive spirited occasionally but I don't auto x or anything

Since my car hasn't seen the sun sitting in the garage this winter, I too have noticed lighter lines specifically from where my sunshade contacts the dash. I also notice light marks along both corners of the dash on a 45*. It doesn't seem tacky to me, but something is obviously failing. Garage kept forever. 53k miles. Goddamn you Subaru.
