removed the flutes in the top and bottom grille.. and in the scoop.

Painted the grille

put another coat of that rain-x headlight restorer on. That stuff is a God send! Also did the tail lights. For the second coat rub enough on to cover the whole light. Rub in a circular motion but leave some residue on the light. Let it dry, and then wipe it off with a dry shop towel. Make sure you rub hard when wiping it off.

Stopped by my friend's place and took a few pics.

He gave me a diamond coil pack and might be selling me his gold 2.5rs 16s.

I made a new huge airbox and intake today. Airbox is more than twice the size. Intake hose is 4 inches. The intake works so well that after 30 mins of driving, the airbox was cold to the touch. Everything cost about 12 bucks at Home Depot. Here are some pics.

4 inch intake hose. 10 feet of it was 5 bucks at Home Depot. I only ended up using what you see.

Image

The sheet of metal I used to make the air box. 6 bucks at Home Depot.

Image

Took a grinder to the stock intake hole and made it 5 inches to fit the new pipe.

-Looks like the car is coming along nicely. I've been wanting to go to Palmer Lake. Maybe we can meet up there?

Yeah, I painted it. Had the idea rolling around for a couple of years ever since I wanted to buy a legacy. Going to do better in the future, but it's pretty good for now. Thanks man!

For sure man!

*update*

I forgot to show everyone the front of the "cold air" pipe.

Going to use another one on the other side to help cool the ice box/reservoir for my AWIC Kit.

I see I'm not the only one repping Amsoil on my radiator support!

Looks nice. Which heat exchanger and pump are you using?

I was parked beside your car a few months ago in a garage downtown. Didn't clue in it was you till I saw the pic showing the painted tail lights. Liked how it looked and wondered how it would look on mine. Lol I took a pic to compare the differences between mine and yours. Looks even better in person

to be honest I just cut out the middle with a cutting wheel, bought the grill material from pep boys, and painted it all black.

Pretty sure I blew a headgasket. Either way... ended up buying a 2013 Focus. (Pics to come) Still have the Subaru, but it's being put on hold for right now.
