To the OP, check this thread: http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=46545 Don't buy front brake parts for a "Touring" model off of websites unless you can verify that they are turbo-specific. Many (most?) of these sites were incorrect when I was shopping for new rotors/pads.

I replaced the rotors and pads on my Touring Wagon tonight and found something surprising. Ever since I bought the car a year ago it has had vague, wobbly braking with really quick fade. The problem worsened in the last two months so I searched out replacement parts and went to work. Aside from the ...

The last shot was out at the Sun Tunnels, north of Wendover between I80 and SR 30.

Hah, yeah. I tend to lurk for the most part. The 17's have snow tires on them, so I only run them November through April-ish. I'm also planning on doing the Outback lift at some point, so wheels/tires could be upsized in the future. As far as photography, I'm shooting on a Canon T2i right now, using...

From the mountains to the desert. Utah is a place of contrasts.

That's just a back country car wash.

Hey Josh, just noticed you posted here on my behalf. Thanks for that. Emailing Dave a copy of the photo flipped has been on my to-do list for weeks but I'm just getting to it now. I haven't seen my pic come up in rotation so I assume DLC hasn't had the chance to do my job for me. ;) So... email sent.

Good idea. I'll try to remember to make a crop and email it in.

Did I literally push it? No. But did I push the limits of what I felt it was capable of? Certainly. I was pretty concerned it would high-center on some of the big rocks, but it did great. I put together this little video too:

I heard it creaking pretty bad but it's tough to say if it warped. My alignment is off and the front doors were already a bit off.

Thanks!

It's a 4WD road that drops 2,000 feet off a mesa near Dead Horse Point, arriving at Utah S.R. 279 next to the Colorado River. I passed a couple people on motorbikes coming up who seemed fairly impressed at my ...

Good call on the power sprayer, though with how thick/built up this was I think the only way to get it all out was just to scoop it.

I picked up my Touring Wagon in December as a winter driver. The body looked clean when I bought the car but after a few weeks the rust started to show behind the front wheel wells. With the weather warming now I finally took the time pull the wheels off and peel back the fender liner. http://img696...

Thanks for the kind feedback everyone.

Maybe a little. I could have dug myself out but I wasn't about to turn down a free tug. The 4x4 guys were a little flabbergasted to see me up there in the first place.

They're the OEM 06-07 WRX wheels... 17x7 et53 (I think). I've got half-worn 225/45/17 snow tires on there and they juuuuuust barely fit in the rears.

This is in Utah. Guess I should fill out my profile, eh?

Thanks for the kind words. I am a camera
noob, but I'm learning.

Luckily a parade of guys in jeeps were coming off the mountain when I got stuck and were kind enough to pull me out.
