GV- "Sammie the Subie" 2013 STi in WRB

[WesternSTi]

Sammie went into Performance Auto Collision to get a new bumper on Thursday. I should have her back tomorrow sometime....I'll make sure and put up pictures of the new bumper when I do get it back.

Much better.

Nice. Bet your happy?!

Fumoto valve will take care of the drain plug situation in the future.

 

[WesternSTi]

A what?? I've never heard of that. Lol... Let me check it out real quick.

 

[WesternSTi]

Ah I see. Nah, it's just the dang dealer used an air tool to put it back on. I'm gonna take it somewhere where they'll agree to put it back on by hand

 

[Spamby]

Can't believe anyone would even put a drain plug in like that? What a bunch of blockheads.

 

[WesternSTi]

Yep...Pretty much. I'm glad I most likely will never have a need to go back up to that Subaru dealership. I don't know if I've said this yet, but I've got the mod bug something serious. So, after Oil Change: De-badge the back, remove the intake silencer, and figure out what the first mod I buy is going to be.

Nitrous! :tard:

 

[WesternSTi]

HA! There's a good one :rofl:

It's between a front or rear sway bar, boost gauge, and possibly some other choices.

 

[Alin]

sways all the way baby!!!!!

 

[WesternSTi]

My days of being completely stock, save an SPT exhaust and short shifter, are FINALLY drawing to a close. My first 3 mods have been ordered, and plans are in the works for some other DIY work. Now the countdown begins!!! :subaru::bigtup: Any guesses as to what I got?? Lol.

 

[Alin]

NOOOOOO!!! WHATRE YOU DOING?!?! YOU ARE DOOMED!!!!

That wallet is going to be looking slim for a while. :rofl:

 

[WesternSTi]

LOOOL. Who needs a thick wallet when you can have a slim one and have mods??

 

[WesternSTi]

Well....Here they are, my first 3 mods!!

 

[IGOTASTi]

Oh now the real fun begins.

 

[WesternSTi]

Oh yeah. I'm already planning out my next 5-10 mods. I want to do this car right, unlike my Prelude...which I just got stuff that I thought was cool. Now I'm doing it by the plan. Front and rear sway bars and front and rear end links are next. I can't wait to get these on and black out the chrome on my headlights while I'm at it with a WRXAtlanta friend.

 

[IGOTASTi]

Good idea. That's a smart move.

 

[WesternSTi]

Well, Sammie the Subie is no longer Sammie the Stock Subie...LOL. I finally got the Stoptech Stainless Steel Brake Lines and Stop Tech Brake Pads installed, and painted the headlight surrounds a lighter matte black/grey(depending on the light) and got completely clear lenses for the projectors! The mod bug hit a while ago, and I'm glad I am finally able to start modding my car so that she stands out at a Subaru meet/dealership/car show. Pictures:

Headlights before:



OH MY GOD MY CAR IS BEING TORN APART!!!.....Just kidding.





Stainless Steel Brake Lines Installed:




Just for clarification, no she's not sitting on the wheels. There are four jack stands under there.


New Headlight Fad: No Surrounds! Who needs em anyway???


Kidding. Here's the Finished Headlight and Lens Product.

Looks great! How simple are the brake lines to do?
