Re: A rather different BC7
I actually like it, alot. I would clear the rear blinkers as it cleans it up considerally, maybe do something to darken the fender lights, and maybe some shiny for the exhaust too. Regarding the xt6 wing, theres probably a bunch on guy on www.subaruxt.com/forum that would love to buy it from you, that is if its a trunk wing.

about the spoiler, well i test fitted it today and there is no way in hell that that´s going on the car so i might just as well put it on ebay and post the link on the XT forum

thanks, it needs some handywork with a dremel, heatgun and zipties but i think it fit´s very wellRedlined wrote:Like the headlight covers! The Front lip is nice too! We're getting a collection of differant lips that will fit our cars and its a good thing! Nice find and good work!
HOWEVER, i tried fitting it to a 92-93 bumper, not even close
any interest in seeing videos of some RWD on/off ramp fun ?

Re: A rather different BC7
In the states pre-facelift cars didn't have fender markers.
Why the hi/low with RWD?

Re: A rather different BC7
because it´s only a reduction of 1.1 so it just gets of the line quicker and in a car that has not quite got the power to be a proper drifter then getting the right gear for the right turn is crucial, 10 speeds rather than 5 help with thatbeatersubi wrote:In the states pre-facelift cars didn't have fender markers.

and it was already in when i got it
over here every single subaru has fender markers except for usdm imports

Re: A rather different BC7 - volcanic eruption
That ash is very good for the soil though. Crazy. Not good for lungs.

Re: A rather different BC7 - volcanic eruption
How do you clean that? Just a water hose to get it off? I imagine you wouldn't want to wipe it off.

Re: A rather different BC7 - volcanic eruption
I have to ask about the lip on your car. I really like the way it looks and fits. Is it the oem lip or an aftermarket for a mk3 golf?

Re: A rather different BC7 - volcanic eruption
It´s on almost any mk3 golf over here, so i guess it´s OEM here, but i don´t know how you guys have it over therejefferson wrote:I have to ask about the lip on your car. I really like the way it looks and fits. Is it the oem lip or an aftermarket for a mk3 golf?

Re: A rather different BC7 - volcanic eruption
That's what we used to use as a hoist to move big blocks at the marina. Much better than a crane.
