NORULZleggy Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Hey how do you like the Stock location Garrett GTX3067R? I would like this one and keep my VF52 as a back up. I sent a PM also. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con.Harr91 Posted October 14, 2019 Author Share Posted October 14, 2019 Had snow flurries at Road America throughout the weekend, so I decided to skip my day. Not a great way to spend a few hundred bucks, but better than winding up in a tire wall. '03 Forester X 5mt - Engine Seized at 262k miles.

leoh88 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Went and picked up a 2011 STI trans swap tonight. Rear tires were tucking the whole way home but never rubbed!  I was putting off taking photos until I finally got the car polished out and detailed properly, but I'm rarely in town long enough to get much done lately. The wagon has come a long way from where it started Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con.Harr91 Posted October 26, 2019 Author Share Posted October 26, 2019 My DCCDpro controller project snowballed. Although I bought it with everything I needed to make it work, I like things to be as OEM as possible. So I bought a 2011 STi center console (which *should* bolt in) to utilize the factory DCCD controls with the Spiider. So now the Spiider needs to be sent back and reprogramed for use with OEM controls. And I needed new boots for the shifter and ebrake, and right now I'm leaning towards a dark gray alcantara with yellow stitching? But, then I think I'll send my DAMD wheel in to get rewrapped as well. Partly so the stitching matches, and partly because the low quality leather its made with has already started wearing through in under 10k miles. '03 Forester X 5mt - Engine Seized at 262k miles.

Con.Harr91 Posted January 25, 2020 Author Share Posted January 25, 2020 Car has just been sitting in my shop for a few months, with the STi center console still halfway installed and no further progress attempted on the DCCD controller setup. Been busy with work, went to SEMA, spent a week in Philly, holidays, drove down to North Carolina for New Years, just got back from a week in Tokyo for the auto salon and other shenanigans, now trying to make progress on building a new 20k sqft facility for my business and a couple tenants before heading down to Florida for Amelia Island.

Con.Harr91 Posted February 1, 2020 Author Share Posted February 1, 2020 We also rented cars in Tokyo and took a road trip out to the Initial D cafe. Turns out that stock, beat to shit, high-mileage Japanese cars from the 90's aren't that impressive even if they're R34 GTRs. '03 Forester X 5mt - Engine Seized at 262k miles.

Con.Harr91 Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share Posted April 17, 2020 Since I'm trying not to spend money while my business is shut down (just got extended another month here in Wisconsin), I decided to go out and buy a new daily driver to replace my dead Forester. Â Got this one owner 2013 VW Touareg TDI Lux with 75k miles on it. So far its awesome, a real tank. This thing weighs just a hair short of 5,000lbs, produces 240hp/405ft-lbs, can tow 7700 pounds, and still gets over 30mpgs. Â If the world ever stops ending and track days are allowed to happen again I'll buy an aluminum open trailer to haul my LGT with this. '03 Forester X 5mt - Engine Seized at 262k miles.
