Nice! What model year is it? If that’s the stock battery, it’s probably close to being on borrowed time.

3

I’ve always wanted this car. So clean.

4
  1. It probably is the stock battery but either way I hate the maintenance style batteries so it will be replaced soon anyways.
5

I already took friday off to get her ready for this weekend (going camping with the family).
Install my avic Z2 (double dins look pure sex in that dash)
clean, clean, clean
wax
and enjoy it in there somewhere… lol

6

Heat wrap the power steering lines next to the turbo if it hasn’t been done already.

7

I actually didn’t notice the ps lines but the turbo has been blanketed and the header is wrapped. I’ll have to take a look at the P.S. lines though.

Also, the oil line to the turbo (apparently the one that always cracks) is replaced with a s/s braided line.

Sweet car .Congrats on the purchase.Cant wait to see it in person.

9

Very nice!

10

nice car…grats on the pick up.

11

yea that line blew on doms old sti and oil went everywhere, good to see that its upgraded.
for sure check the power steering lines so this gem doesnt end up like a failvis

12

buy my VP methanol

13

let me know when and where. Guss gave me a 5 gal bucket about 1/2 full but I could always use some more. How long does it take to go bad though? Not sure I’ll need a whole lot but if it takes a while to go bad then there no reason to not keep some around.

14

Car looks great!!! Here’s to hoping you have better luck than everyone else does with modified Subarus. And if you don’t Adam or I can hook you up. lol

15

awesome ride! looks like a beast.

16

Nice. I like it.

17

Car looks great bud, glad to see you got what you wanted. Can’t wait to see it in person!

18

no idea, keep it sealed and you are fine. and besides you mix it 50/50 id imagine… i have 5 gallons… pm me and let me know what works for you.

what you use depends on nozzle size and how much you really get on it. my friend would use about 1 gallon(ran 100%) every 2 weeks, but he had a big dual nozzle setup and the car saw alot of 20-130 pulls in its time.

19

BERRYNICE!!!

Yeah, def figure out what mix the ex-owner was running the meth at
