Vf40 sold!

I need one, also Tysparks81

Starting the new year off right!

 

I finished up the prep on my gram lights for custom powder coating, the previous owner liked curbs a bit much. My little dewalt random orbital sander worked perfectly for smoothing out the edges.

I also finished up the prep on the jdm sti lip that came with my front clip that was cracked up a bunch in shipping. Cracks repaired, I just need to do final cleanup on it and prime and paint!

That shop does have a great aesthetic.

I will have rust to deal with on this one and Madrig's carbon rear quarters may be a part of that... Thanks for the tip on the Marine treatment.

It was Ty Sparks who helped out and yes, it's Canadian. Both in that the 08's only went there and that it physically was there when found.

I could not thank Ty enough and his willingness to help out restored a little of my faith in humanity and demonstrated the realness of community here. On that note, all of my interactions with folks I've met here have been great and that really says a lot.

I'd REALLY love to see the stats on the 06-08 CA wagons if anyone knows how to pull those the way was done for the 05's

 

Ty has been an absolute great friend ever since I met him, he's helped me out with a ton of projects and is always willing to help with anything. You contacted the right person in Canada to get help with something like that!

I know a few people awaiting any type of reply from the great people who have made these harnesses in the past. If there was more available opportunities to get them it would alleviate the problem

Haha well one more, someone buy this damn thing! You will not be disappointed in any way, more like blown away! (get the turbo joke??)

I've got a VF46 done by JMP and it screams, love his work and is an amazing guy to deal with as well

Well mine are totally shot, looking for the arms for the bump stops with GOOD bushings. Legacy ones are similar but sit differently to my knowledge. Let me know what you have!

Woking on the 05GT winter hooptie on sunday, I was replacing the rear sway bushings and links, this caught my eye... something tells me this isn't right...

B4. Slight underestimation of expected inchment! Like sex, you never know how much you gonna get.

 

Milton NY to Milton ON big difference! It's where my office is and there's no snow here!

 

and american's call us the great white north!

When I updated to the STI heated seats, I started missing how hot the Legacy seats got... It's nice therapy for my back pain

 

The back pain therapy with these heated seats is awesome, try being in canada where it's -10c this morning. Overly hot heated seats are a thing of beauty!

Anyone else here lucky enough to get the new PS5 or Xbox Series X? I finally got my PS5.

 

I got the series x, a few friends got that and the ps5. They aren't that hard to find if you look. All of us got them through the preorder

Pull the fuse for the radio, my friend had this for a couple days then the damn cd changer spat out a cd he didn't even know was in there from the previous owner

Did some work on the 05 GT the last couple days, I was on my way home from work and my brake light came on.. Crap I got a leak! Hoping its the rear union that's apart of the recall... Nope, after inspection I found strangest thing, the bolt for the passenger front brake line going into the caliper came loose. Oh well, in case I picked up a new banjo and metal o ring's. While I was in there I knew I needed to change my inner tie rod which was loose. Well with big ol channel locks I actually got it apart! I had one ready to go from a rock auto order and lined everything up and installed it all.

Wow the highway shimmy that I've had for a year is gone!

Gotta love rock auto sales where moog parts are like $17.

Yooo, I'll take the next set. PM me plz!

Have you seen the current president of Murica?

 

I get that you probably don't like JTs policies but that doesn't mean he's stupid.

 

I'm Canadian, living in Canada. Yes he is that stupid, the guy was literally a teacher (who was fired for gross conduct) and because of his last name became leader of the liberal party.

Damn, that's quite a hit.

If I remember correctly there should be a spacer bracket there

Check for small cracks on the top of the rad, it's quite common for them to go.

 

I had a rad hose go on me one time with a pinhole leak, it only showed itself when the engine temp was over 200

The heater core lines go in beside the brake booster and through the firewall. Your leak is on the side where the AC lines go through. Most probably it's the drain

Look for vacuum leaks, most probable suspect

You crashed two usdm legacys into each other to smush in the bumpers?

 

Not exactly, but I'll have even more bumpers lying around my place if I don't sell the others.

Update VF52 sold!

Thank you my friend. Andrew is the only other person I've let drive my car since I got it, but I'm sure in 15yrs when my daughter is ready I'll be letting her drive it too. I've started her early too.

 

You weren't even in the country when I drove it too!

So I did something today... I'm now going to have 2 legacy's with JDM front ends

Completed a bit more on my friends car, I finally got the adjustable headlight switch going and wired in.

I went to town polishing the headlights, compound, polish, then for a quick finish a hybrid ceramic coating.

The first pic you can see I've done the drivers headlight and not the passengers, the rest are completed pics.
