Figured I'd throw in a pic from today's romp in the Santa Ana Mountains

It snowed on Santiago Peak again... been a nice winter down here in SoCal. This is as far as my friends and I got before we had to turn back... damn summer tires

Thread Resurrection much? Sorry to dredge this up from the depths, but I figured I'd show off my baby (well, second one) around here

EDIT:
Almost forgot some details:

Interior has been slowly been transforming from Beige to Black (thanks Krylon...)
Wheels are the stock 16'' WRX style, rollin' on 205/55's
De-snorked
Various sound system upgrades, 10'' Kicker + Alpine amp
Wal-Mart 4" Hella-ripoff fogs

And much, much more to come when it finally gets warmer

The SS wheels! I am going to re-paint my SS wheels, how did you do it?

WagonMafia · Post by **WagonMafia** » Sun Oct 25, 2009 11:01 pm

haha, um, 88 cent krylon and 3 coats of clear. just take all the shine off the wheel with a marroon 3m scuff pad, get all the nooks and crannies like youre buttering an english muffin and then hose it off real good with degreaser, then dry the wheel entirely with an air hose. its simple for me, ive been doing this for years to everything i own, and i work at a shop with wonderful tools like angle grinders and 3m cookies at my disposal. i think i did all 4 wheels with 2 cans of black and a can of clear. id get 3 cans of gloss black and 2 cans of clear if youve never done it before. i didnt do as good of a job as i could have, these are race wheels and tires, theyre gonna get thrashed, ill probably paint them bronze or something next time i have to paint them, maybe next year. oh, one last thing, if this isnt obvious, dismount the tires first... itll save you alot of cleaning the sidewall time. Cheers! -WagonMafia

Thanks WagonMafia that is great advice..I will let you know the results when I do it!

WagonMafia · Post by **WagonMafia** » Tue Oct 27, 2009 4:19 am

Word Mac.... wooord. Its so easy, even a caveman could do it!

LookAsubie · Post by **LookAsubie** » Fri Oct 30, 2009 8:22 am

Or dont dismount the tires and save some time and work and just use playing cards or some kind of big sticky notes or notepad.

after this wheel i realized it was easier to turn them lengthwise. lol.

WagonMafia · Post by **WagonMafia** » Fri Oct 30, 2009 9:42 pm

ive done that, and got super frustrated. ive got 2 dismounting machines at work so that was the easiest route for me, others may not be as fortunate. do whatever works for you though, the end result is the same. just be patient with the paint, dont be over generous on the coats.

Looks good, other than the max-homophobe front mount. And don't be fooled, DC stickers don't increase your gymkahna skillz.

I haven't posted in here yet, I suppose I should. From the mudflaps thread:

Mods:
STi springs/struts
WRX wagon front sway bar
Muffler delete

That's about it for anything worth mentioning. Got some WRX wheels at home, gonna try to trade from some RS 6 spokes though I think.

Jealous much Epic? Dont make me go on another tangent on fucking flamers... I made 206 cry. My N/A WAGON is set up for auto-x, not Ken Block posing. Thanks for the compliments though, really...

First of all, you didn't make 206er 'cry;' you just left a ridiculous post that no one wanted to respond to. From now on, when you have a problem with someone, you need to take it to a PM or to NASIOC. No one wants to see it on here.

This is a great board, because we do NOT flame people for having an opinion, whether it be one that you like or dislike. I've had people compliment me on my car and I've had people say that they don't like it, but I don't take it personally. Not everyone is going to like it or say the nicest things about it and that's fine; all that matters is that I like it.

Well said Aaron.

WagonMafia · Post by **WagonMafia** » Tue Nov 17, 2009 8:07 pm

I had a bad day, so I apologise for my words everyone. I agree with what you said that what I said was uncalled for. Ive been dealing with people disliking my cars for years, I should be used to it by now. I like to showcase what is possible and out of the ordinary with my vehicles so that they arent like every other one out there. Thanks for not kicking me off, this forum has been my saving grace for alot of issues and networking in my Subaru ventures. -WagonMafia
