mr soul Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 you guys still run your undertray? I'm thinking about taking it off and forgetting about it. Pisses me off getting the jack under it correctly and I kind of hate not being able to look under my car and see crap if needed....None of my other subies ever had these so it's just for like aero I guess? Sound? Opinions on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawson Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I don't think its all that bad of an idea as long as you keep her on the street I'd prolly put it back on durring the winter tho with salted road just my opinion Sent from my pocket using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12sechatch Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 for aero, yes. I've never actually done a before and after test on gas mileage, but Subaru put it there for a reason, so I keep mine on. IF you can see a difference, it will probably be in the 0.X mpg range though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr soul Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 my roof rack/bikes/boxes already hurt my mileage......I'm in the 24MPG range with all that. That comparable to you all? Think I'm going to loose that undertray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12sechatch Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Higher than me. But I need a new tune pretty badly. I'm consistently 21mpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 undertray is for cooling support (mostly). Aero is minimal, but does help. If you're getting 24mpg with roofrack & bikes, you're doing good. Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobyroo Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 ^Details? Leaky top-up quart of engine oil? I lived life dangerously. I washed the car... in direct sunlight! Yeah, except it was a gallon about 3/4 full. It's leaked down somewhere into my mudflaps sway bar and my buddy noticed it burning off on my exhaust..

Ryan24 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Traded in the Legacy yesterday on a Nissan Titan. I will have an Accessport Sub-003 up for sale shortly if anyone is interested. As nice and fun as the Legacy was I needed a hauler for my future endeavors with my RS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanGT Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Gave the Suby some much needed love today. Spent 6.5 hrs detailing the exterior...it was a 7 step program! She's all clean and shiny now! . . I have enough drama for now..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobyroo Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Spent the night in her last night camping.. I should have just taken the time to set up my tent... It wasn't that bad though. Just a little crammed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a little crammed. Dude did the same thing. I mean, it's a little more cozy with a wagon of course hahaha. The wife and I folded down the rear seats, blew up a queen size air mattress and still had comfort room for ourselves and our bags! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobyroo Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I should have seen a post from a wagon owner coming... Sometimes I really wish I would have found a wagon... Oh well. Maybe my next DD will be a wagon or a hatch of some sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tpeterson4237 Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 Yesterday I installed my NRG quick release, short hub and Grip Royal Classic wood grain steering wheel (haters gonna hate). And today I fully detailed my car, stripped, clay barred, waxed, and leather reconditioned!

RyanGT Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 While I love love love the retro wood grain steering wheel, it looks out of place with the rest of the car with all the knobs/buttons/digital displays, etc. But as long as you are good with that, it's perfectly fine. . .

.Catalyst. Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Maybe add the faux woodgrain accents that some other trim packages came with? I remember my satisfaction removing all the wood grain in my Saab 9-5 and replaced it with the newer brushed aluminum OEM dash and door pieces...super pricey but I was so happy when it was replaced! Someday wood will be back "in" as most things tend to be cyclical. Unless I'm in a full blown luxury car, I'll stick with other options. My spec.B [#163] Project Thread with Pictures Get CryoTuned!

RyanGT Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 ...... And today I fully detailed my car, stripped, clay barred, waxed, and leather reconditioned! Thanks to the 90 degree day today on Eugene! It looks like you skip 2 important steps in auto detailing.... polishing and applying paint sealant. Those 2 steps go after clay bar and before waxing. When I detailed my car last Sat here were the steps: 1. Wash and Dry 2. Clay Bar 3. Wash and Dry 4. Polish with a medium cut 5. Rinse and Dry 6. Very Fine Polish 7. Paint Sealant (2 coats) 8. Wax (2 coats) All in all, took about 7 hours. . . I have enough drama for now..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
