I pulled the TD04 off my 92' after discovering that it randomly, and with out warning, seized completely. Drove into the gas station with boost, shut it off, came back out 2 minutes later with my candy bar, and no boost...

So in the 2 years this car was my DD, it never broke, and since I've been trying to sell it, it's been 3 times in 3 days....

^ I think it's trying to tell you something

I got my Boost Gauge illumination wired up, now I can see where I'm at in the night!!!! :p

I also did more work on the Turbo today, masked off the compressor housing and sprayed the exhaust housing with VHT FlameProof coating.

Played in puddles and drove some logging roads.

i put 230 miles on mine yeserday.... 9 lbs sucks compared to 17

Ordered a VSS hoping it will cure the speedo problem. The old one doesn't read anything on the signal wire so my hopes are high.

Finally hooked up a boost gauge so I could adjust the MBC I've had for 2 and a half years. Now to figure out why the gauge is only reading 6.5lbs yet my car feels stronger than stock.

Found this cool fog light button and trim to replace the stupid card holder, now I just need some fog lights

I forgot to add I put an Eat, Sleep, Subaru sticker on the right mirror and put gas in the dented tank.
SubyFusion, I did about the same thing but with '97 outback switches and a second rear defrost/ cruise switch holder to customize to fit down where the card holder was. There should be a picture on page 12, the only difference is the switches.

ya I saw that a few weeks ago, and then when I was at the junk yard I found these switches in an 89 wagon I thought I didn't know they put switches here lol they were really cool so I grabbed them. That car also had an equalizer attached to the stock stereo I thought that was interesting too.

I shoved a massive amount of rubber underneath the wheel wells. 245/40/17 Dunlop Dirreza Z1 Tires on Silver 17x7.5" Rota Subzero Wheels with a polished rim. It'll be better with the new set of Coilovers coming in. Onto the late night crappy garage phone pics! (I'll get better outside in the daytime shots this weekend).

Out with the 185's, in with the 245's (it feels nice to drive on a decent setup again, I can't wait for the Coilovers)







The Rear:



The Front:

I will guess it does.....but have to ask.....does it rub the body/fender?

^ Not yet, it sits high. I know it will if I have passengers in the back though. I was expecting it to rub the inner fender when I turn full lock, but it doesn't . I have a set of JIC Coilovers coming in, and I'm hoping the 10kg/f Front, and 12kg/f Rear setup will help. Before they come in though, I'll have the fenders rolled and pulled. I don't plan on 'dropping' this one like I did the White one (not that I could even if I wanted to )

The rear is where the rubbing usually shows up. Mine rubbed with 205s.

my car rubs with 205s in the rear

Roll your fenders and you'll be fine. I was able to run 235/40/17 tires and experienced no rubbing whatsoever.

Yeah, it'll be no big deal. I may actually do it right this time instead of my hammer/breaker bar/crescent wrench method of the White Wagon

Did a couple things so far, I put in an antenna, took better shots of the Leggy, and bought a nice set of open-ended lugs to compliment the new wheel/tire setup.

Before - Imagine there being a hole there and not the wire sticking through it, I started working on it before I took a proper 'before' shot:



After:



Some better shots of the new setup:

Made and mounted a light bar, super easy too, moved my fog lights to the bar and moved driving lights to the old fog light spot.

Finished the work on the Turbo today:

damn, my TD04 looks good now

Haha, thanks, I figured I'd do something with it while I wait on parts.

Also, with the Exterior of the Wagon looking like dog poop, I should at least make the Engine and Parts nice.

It's purty

grille paint & badge paint.

New alternator came, so hopefully that goes well. I till have to pick up an inline fuse for it though.

dzx sent me his old strut tower brace, which is rad. do i need it? not at all. but it's so dang cool lookin'.

Heard my left front axle clicking so its going dead just in time for winter and punched my stero cause it was having a spaz attack. Don't get a Wal Mart Dual flip down stero, the go nuts in about three years and have a major spaz attack when you try to open them... Time for a new stero with higher wattage, I'm thinking 240 watts this time.

I don't think you will find a stereo with 240 watts. Most of them put out between 10-20 watts per channel.

For example, here is one of Alpines newest head units and also one of their higher end units MSRP $400: http://www.alpine-usa.com/product/view/cda-117

CEA-2006 Power Rating: 18W x 4
Max Power Output: 50W x 4

Only 72 Watts! And it won't even put out that much most of the time.
