Nonamedude Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I spent all my money on stupid f*cking subarus Lol yep this. You could pay for my move and give me another 10k and I could drop it into my outback within a few days. Without getting anything from Japan lol. Could also use a lens. For photos of subarus.

jaylew Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 we have 6 cars. I'll be fine haha. you had me at hello. More cares means the probability of at least one working goes up. At one point between me and my fiance, we had 4 wagons...2 red, 2 blue, all manual.

Nonamedude Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 No they're weird, not you. Not me. Due to covid I haven't seen my department manager in a bit. Before a meeting he asked if I had fixed my car. He was very confused when I asked which one. Then explained the civic got totaled. The outback was working, then not, then was. And the e30 blew it's trans. He then was trying to be cheeky and asked how my "lady friend" roommate was (I don't have any male friends) so to **** with him I told him I never lived with my lady friend. But my lady friend roommate moved out and was replaced by my lady friend. And that all three people work at the same company. He stopped asking questions Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Febreze Mee Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I'm all on board with the Honda idea. Shoot, I was looking for a Civic, but accidentally found the RX-7 for dumb-cheap. Still looking for a Civic, kind of. MILKRUN - Click Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilredwagon Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Hahah, add me to the support group. Between my fiance and I, we have 7 cars! The 2 Subarus are always in need of something, so I was looking for something I could daily that was comfy, quiet, and reliable. I was looking for a used Civic or Carolla, ended up with a Jaguar. Yup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaylew Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 When I moved back in January, I realized my GT wasn't in the right shape to commute from PA to MA weekly while in the middle of the move. So my reliable daily is a Jetta sportwagen TDI. It's hilarious to see fuel economy be double the GT but half the smiles.

luckybullitt Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Interesting cause I don't have any indication of dash removal when I just had my second recall done about a month ago. I have an 08 Spec. B. Maybe different from other LGT’s cause of nav etc. They pulled out dash for pass airbag recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocoholic005 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 ended up with a Jaguar. Yup. Welcome to the club. While I'd hardly call my F-type reliable, it works for a daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chocoholic005 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Wagon project and coupe daily seems backwards My priorities are highly misplaced. That being said, having a daily that runs 10s is great fun! Okay... so it's never actually run 10s, but damnit i'm gonna get there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infosecdad Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I managed to get the Radium fuel damper installed on the driver's side rail. Install went smoother than I was afraid of, probably because I've spent the last week planning it. I removed the front crank case vent hose and the OCV from that side to get access. 22mm crows foot wrench with a long extension and I got the stock damper loose. New damper with thread adapters went in smoothly. Needed a 1" crows foot wrench for that one Spliced a Y into the vacuum line to the FPR for the reference port. Initial drive to Lowes (for another project) was really promising. Definitely smoothed out and reduced the AF corrections, smoother in light throttle 2400-3000 RPM range. I'm going to try installing the other one on the passenger side rail and see what impact that has on it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awfulwaffle Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Any reason you didn't go with one of the inline ones, other than having a spot on the factory rails? Close coupled damper looks nice, curious how much better it performs. I have the inline one on my fuel send line and still get some AF corrections flare and light stumble around 2500 RPM.
