GTO and car photography BS

Noice. Boo front license plates though

 

Yeah i know

 

Took the Soob out this weekend for a nice cruise over one of the local mountain passes. Fresh snow made for some nice photos. Was a little chilly too! Right around 5° for a majority of the time up there.

Looks fun. What tires are you running?

 

Nexen N5000's or something like that? Never heard of them but they were on it when I bought it so I figured I'll run them down then upgrade when they're bald. They handle pretty well on snowy and icy roads. Then again I'm used to 33x12.50 KM2's so I probably could have moulded my own tires at home in my garage and they'd handle better than KM2's on ice.

 

Got bored about a month ago and tried my hand at vinyl wrapping. Just did a couple little trim pieces on the dash and console.

Rice? Maybe. Ragrets? None.

Please excuse the filthy interior. I skip ONE week of cleaning it and it turns into a dust magnet. Woes of a black interior.
but does it rice? by joshipps132, on Flickr

And just cause

I really need to thank you. It's a little different on the Forester but I found a wire bundle that contained two bare wires. Soldered them at their connection point and it worked!
Idles great and had been code free for three weeks now. Thank you! Your help is much appreciated!

 

How do you fit your bike?

 

That is awesome man! So glad i could help! Mine has been code free ever since i did that as well. Must just be a little Subie glitch haha

Just stuff it in the back seat

 

nice...I want a Subaru, thinking on a BRZ though....

 

How do you like the Cobb shifter? I'm looking for a round one but don't know if I wanna spend $95

 

BRZ's are really sweet, I'd probably have considered one if i lived in an area that was a little less snowy haha. The WRX is superb though, im loving it. Handles poor roads reeeeeally well, and...turbo, of course

I really like it. Fits the hand nicely and feels good during shifts. It's a nice little touch.

Damn $95 for just the knob? I got mine for $70 here:

Nice Scoobie, I like the pics of the Bighorns. (my profile pic is from HWY 14 over the mountain right after I bought my rig 3 years ago). Love the snow and pics, makes me miss home! Love my 4R but have thought about the Subaru scene for a car someday. Sometime!

 

Thanks man! I love it. I've always loved Subarus so it's pretty cool to actually own one now. It's a really well balanced car for the region we're in.

 

this build sucks. WRB subies suck..

 

You would think it sucks even more if I posted a picture of what happened to it about a month ago

 

Subd for more awsomeness... have you considered going the rally car route instead of the lowered route with the suspension? And please keep the pics coming, my brother loves Subaru's and its starting to rub off on me too

 

Suspension wise I plan to remain stock. I think lowering Subarus is just blasphemy unless it's a track-killer of course. If anything I'll probably look into some adjustable coil-overs or something but that will be a long long long ways down the road. At this point all I'd like to do is up the power a smidge and maybe some aftermarket wheels with a bit of a fatter tire.

 

What happened?
