whisky Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I like the various suggestions to keep the car looking good and the consistent, "Ok" replies and obligatory pictures. Wonder what we could request next that would be met with compliance and pictures.... nix the trailer hitch? Wait, I know... How about getting some new suspension under it and dropping it down a bit?

Dphil25gtwagon Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 Took it in for the airbag recall this am. I gave it the white glove test last night. Im so nervous about them screwing something up. I actually just got the call that the car was finished. They went ahead and took care of the brake line recall as well. Glad thats out of the way.

Dphil25gtwagon Posted August 15, 2016 Author Share Posted August 15, 2016 Camping trip with the fam this weekend. Brought my 7 mo old for the first time. Also brought the wagon for the first time ( thank god because the baby decided she wanted to play at 3am and luckily i planned for that so I set up a bed in the back because i knew it was going to happen.) and also first time using the roof tent. Was a great weekend! http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b116/4cfedz31/cambria%20trip/BD3278DB-0BF8-4D41-8A22-46EB12C619A2_zpsggtbtqq2.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b116/4cfedz31/cambria%20trip/BF1F8E5A-E2C2-4812-8031-4D4D313B9BD1_zpsj9cjojjr.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dphil25gtwagon Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 BC br Coilovers installed. put the wrx rims back on for the 235s ( shame those wheels are so ugly) Took a few times to get it leveled but im happy now. The ride is astonishing..completely different car and set at damper 10 it rides beautifully. http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b116/4cfedz31/IMG_5231_zpszfhqpu8o.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b116/4cfedz31/IMG_5229_zpslpdiot4g.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b116/4cfedz31/IMG_5235_zps51mbjmev.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnusonsubie Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Surprised you don't like the WRX wheels. I think they are a fantastic looking wheel on our cars. Just really heavy! 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holla Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 The car looks really good right now! I had thought about dipping my car a similar color but I'm glad you did so I could see what it looks like. The blue really does look better...

BeachLegacy Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Do you know if they make a rooftop tent for the sedans?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coop3422 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Do you know if they make a rooftop tent for the sedans?? Curious about this as well. Probably wouldn't work for us though since we usually have bikes or kayaks on the roof. Hence why I want to get rid of the sedan and find a wagon. Gorgeous car!

whisky Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Do you know if they make a rooftop tent for the sedans?? The RTTs aren't model specific. You just need to have roofracks and pick a size/weight that will work well with your set-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dphil25gtwagon Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share Posted December 9, 2016 78000 mile update: Noise from underneath. Sounds like gearbox. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDBIlwF-ZME I removed the drive shaft and the joints seemed pretty notchy so i oreder a used shaft, and it felt identical. So I drove the car on the lift in FWD and still heard the noise. I then popped the plug out of the trans and found this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLsz675g-Ec Sadness ensues.

PS: Sorry I havent figured out how to embed yet What the hell is that blue/green fluid? That doesn't look normal, because the standard Subaru trans fluid is mostly clear in color. Looks like the wrong fluid was used. Try using the Subaru trans oil and see if that helps, otherwise it sounds like some gears are starting to wear out. My wife's balls are delicious.

Dphil25gtwagon Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share Posted December 9, 2016 Thats the fluid that was in my car when i purchased it. Last documented service was at LIC motorsports. http://www.licmotorsports.com/services/maintenance Unfortunately i think its too late to switch fluids. Damage is done.

FJuan Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Change the fluid to the Subaru OEM trans fluid and lets see how it reacts. I've tried different trans fluid in the past and had nothing but bad luck with them, OEM trans fluid is definitely recommended for these trans. My wife's balls are delicious.
