Northern Virginia Roll Call

Well at least it runs great now! And you have some mod money for the WRX... no more supercharger... but it's turbocharger time

 

Oil change and tire rotate done.

I got around to the Nice Bridge this morning and traffic was stopped. Checked the MDTA twitter feed and a multi-vehicle wreck had happened about 10 minutes before I got there, so I turned around. Drove out to Fredericksburg to pickup a floor jack, which I had been putting off, and came home and took care of business. The truck always feels like it runs so much smoother right after an oil change. Drove it a couple of miles to drop off the used oil, and filled up with 93 octane and a bottle of fuel system cleaner as is my ritual.

 

Yeah but this one is factory turbo. Ill try to keep away from mods for now, aside from a good quality catch can. @DOUBLLD said he knows some guys that all they work on is subies, so hes gonna get the name of the catch can they recommend.

 

I love dtd. Ordered the tires about 2 hours ago, already have a tracking.

 

Pass it along when you hear from him if you don't mind. An AOS is one of the few mods I would consider doing while I'm paying off the WRX.

 

@Arcticelf these are like $12 each!

Will do. I was gonna go for the cravenspeed, but he said they use something else. It utilizes lines for the coolant to help separate the oil. Sounded pretty interesting.

 

Good to see you back @Truggin I was next to you last week on Westfield but couldn't get close enough to say hi

 

@fatfurious2

 

that person must be color blind

 

Iag and radium air-oil separators both tap into the coolant system to drive off moisture.

 

Sorry I missed you.

Swapped out the headlights today for my new ones and changed from 6000k HID bulbs to the 5000k...

Also removed the stock amber parking lights for LEDs

Now I just have to get rid of this chrome grill....

 

That's what I'm doing today

 

I've only watched a few, but the few that I have watched are the bomb!

 

what'd you use to scuff up the chrome? I'll probably do that next weekend

 

150 grit sandpaper. I followed another thread, and his has been going strong for 6 years. Just make sure to use adhesion promoter and let your grille set for a few days before driving around with it.
