Installed some junkyard picked parts, my sedan is close to being drivable again!

I took my sedan for a quick drive today. For some reason, the almost dying issue pretty much goes away when I put the car in drive. I'm pretty confused by this.

Well, it's been a good car weekend here. First we spent yesterday going to pick up my wifes new car after her beloved 2.5RS coupe was totaled out on a deer hit: 2004 WRX with a ej257, forged pistons, ported/polished 2.0 heads, GT52 element tuning turbo, HUGE TMIC, pro-torque stall converter, 133k miles (13k on motor/build) and it's damn near mint inside and out.

I think she likes it, the whole drive home pretty much looked like this according to my sister


and the car


Then today I FINALLY had time to roll/pull all of my fenders, rust proof the inside of the lip, and put my 05' LGT wheels on



And for fun, here it is parked next to my old car (of former 2.2GT-T honor) that is my sister's car to show stock vs. Lowered:

That bumper look so cool on that car. You going to put lights in there?

^ yes, I have a set of Hella 500's in the trunk, just need to make mounts for them

That's an Outback SUS bumper isn't it?

Just an outback wagon bumper painted to match. when my friend had it in AK he got his and the outback and GT bumps were the same cost so he went outback.

Cool.

I made and tested a stealth intake silencer.
Cut the box open and added a breather hole inside. Joined tube parts with a 3" coupler no clamps as its such a tight fit.
Then abs glued it back together. Now it makes all the right noises but looks totally stock!
Next is the ram air intlet for the airbox.

I FIXED MY SEDAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

holy shit danny, do you have enough bananas?

I was pretty excited when I made that post lol. I guess the excitement carried right into the post.

It's all good

I towed a '84 Chevy S-10 4x4 with my sedan last night. Pulled it about ten miles then the left rear tire blew up. No problems from my sedan, just a little harder to get going.

Did the coolant bypass mod for my throttle body and put on a front air dam that is ghetto. lol

Pics please

Oil change and Greddy Mag plug at 264,638 miles wooo.

Rallyed it hard, felt good. Lots of dust was made today.

Sway bar install today.

Dual range swap 80% complete. EA trans mounted in car. EA flywheel and clutch installed on the Frankenmotor. Waiting for FedEx to find my house and deliver the axles that were supposed to come last week. Now that I've got a spare 2.2 and 5MT I might have to pickup a sedan!

^ More info on the dual range swap? It would be amazing to have a dual range in my sedan.

I changed my wheels a bit today. No pictures yet as it was dark once I finished.

short list

EA-EJ adapter plate
EA82 redrilled flywheel
EA82 clutch and p plate
93 Impreza FWD front axles
Custom mount for tranny (Redrill EJ crossmember)
Longer drive shaft
Complete EA82 Dual range trans with linkage 85-88

Installed the new axles on Monday. Mated the engine and trans yesterday. Today will be the shift linkage mods. Only reason I need to mod mine is because of the 6" lift. Thursday will be the drive shaft. I pulled a drive shaft from an 03 Outback. The length is good but I need to switch the rear yoke. This involves replacing the staked in U joint. Fun fun

Went in for complete paint job on Monday!

May I ask how much u invested in paint job?

Sent from your bathroom closet

Broke the bypass valve hose on saturday. I was working on a coffee cup mod when it broke. I guess its a good thing I'm not driving my wagon till spring.
