Carbon Falcon

THIS guy?

 

All the pic links died! His build thread has been dead for over a year so I guess all his pics were purged by Tinypic.

Yep that's him! Tinypic is being rude about it, but it seems they can't prevent previously hosted images from showing up in a google search: https://www.google.com/search?q=Cruisemobile2&safe=off&rlz=1C1GCEB_enUS871US871&tbm=isch&sxsrf=ACYBGNRz8nSfs6kSM_hd8KFr8gTe6LGHQg:1579812277456&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjTye-sy5rnAhWUsp4KHUtIAucQ_AUIDCgD&biw=1536&bih=722&dpr=1.25#imgrc=_

Hopefully that link works for you, it should show his wagon in various states of modification throughout the years

Nice haul! Looking forward to installs/progress.

I also was never a fan of the two tone body, but then I saw Cruisemobile's setup and it changed my mind immediately [emoji106]

You have lived the wagon life that I hope to live over the next several years. I somewhat seriously joke about grabbing a second OBXT in GRP to use as the dirt/snow warrior, and to see you embody that with my car is seriously ******* awesome! Both of yours are so sick in their own right, and I especially love how your first one looks on the Volks. Could you give some more insight to that setup? Appx. ride height (hard to tell from most of the angles)? 5x100 +44 or did you use adapters/spacers? Any suspension work beyond the Zeals? Any fender work or rubbing issues? And uh.. tire specs too while we're here I guess.

Damn good work on both of those rides.

@lil'redwagon - You are the 3rd person I've encountered that considered buying this car! Didn't realize the rarity of it when I bought it. Would have fit perfectly with your username though!

The car is in great shape all things considered. There were quite a few things I had to quickly address when I bought the car. Things like, catless downpipe with no tune, hogzaust, adapter lug nuts grinding into the wheels, tie rods grinding against sway bar and end links, fuses missing (radiator fans, most notably), fog lights wired incorrectly, etc. Sitting pretty now - no leaks, creaks, or squeaks. Interior and exterior are in very good condition for a 15 year old car. Now I just want to maintain it and add a few upgrades, but I'm in no rush to do so. Thanks for the warm welcome!

Hey all,

Just wanted to post somewhere relevant with high traffic for my first post and landed in this thread. For the last 2 years, I have been lurking on these forums to answer all the questions that came with owning/modding my car, an '05 OBXT Ltd. 5MT in GRP. I am the 3rd owner, just rolled 95,000 miles. It is my daily driver, with primary functions of hauling people/dogs/equipment, driving mountain passes to go snowboarding, and masquerading as a race car. It is also my first Subaru, and it definitely puts the fun in functionality! It's the first car I've seriously worked on beyond oil changes/tire rotations, so it has been a learning experience as well. Lurking on here has shown me that I still have much to learn.
