What have you done to your Subaru today ?

[savage bulldogs]

Dunno about that,  weather's been sunshine n showers ,so this afternoon the car covers been up n down like a whores draws 😂

And the inlet manifold is back on the kitchen table again , instead of in the bay 🤪

But hey ,just gotta pop round a mates in the morning to blow the inlet and fuel set up through clean, with a air line and some petrol . Then I can start to put it back together at last .

What's up with yours ,have you sussed the coolant leak Mattie?

Fitted some shiny new wheels to it 👀😁

Correctly bleed coolant system from filler tank after certain dealer made a mess of the job. See video on dash cam forum, current last video.

" tabbed " my rear arches so the wheels dont catch then thought shall i clean it or go get it dirty ...................got it dirty 🙂

The old Leggy lasted but a week in new ownership.  Owner says cruising at 80, missfire, lots of smoke and oil out of dipstick, done a piston.  

[savage bulldogs]

Hmmm, always seemed to be sounding sweet and well maintained in your ownership 🤔.

Hope he's being reasonable about it , bud

Yeah no problems at all hes a good bloke and I gave it a good test run for him to see it ran properly before he took it.  He's now deciding on rebuilt or break it 😥.  I suspect he'll break it because he wants 400bhp and didn't know that will mean a new 6 speed box too.

My starter motor has been playing up lately so I had a look in the shed and found one from a facelift. To my surprise  it fits perfectly.

Gave it a good clean and a repaint to match my shiny gearbox 

[savage bulldogs]

And so it begins.....Tidying up the bay is a very Slippery slope . 

"Oh I'll just fit this shiney bit " 😎

"Oh that shiney bit has made the rest of the bay look shoddy" 😏

"Must Buy more shiney bits now " 😋

So true I've bought paint for everything now 😂

[savage bulldogs]

Finished work early today ,so decided to switch the 4 in 1 gauge sensors over to the defi ones and wire the defi controller and gauges in 😎

 

Soon realised (again) that I'm much happier wealding a spanner, than doing sparky stuff 🙄

I’m a electrician and I detest car electrics, they’re a dark and evil art. More electronic than electrical (bigger difference than you’d think) the stuff in cars. Always a million ****** cables everywhere you look in cars too.

Good luck haha!

 

[JamesJDMwagon]

Fitted a clutch return spring. I've never had on before, clutch now returns better now something that was bugging me for years.

[JamesJDMwagon]

Chilled day in the sun decided to paint my rocker covers. Pictures don't do it justice the red paint I used was from eBay honestly one of the best spray cans I've ever used. Camera doesn't show up the pearl in it 

[savage bulldogs]

Nice work bud , told ya .....

You'd get carried away with a shiny bay 😂

Cleaning ,Prepping and painting is time consuming but it's relatively cheap and looks good imo 😎

 

[mattiekane]

Not strictly today but forgot to post it up.

Got to this point over the weekend then stopped to enjoy the sun and a few cold beverages.
Will hopefully get back on it this week get it pulled and find out what damage is done, then I can start working on a rebuild spec and figure out what order is best to rob the local banks in

Had a morning off so sanded out the letters on my freshly painted rocker covers. 

[Bahnstormer]

Nothing as exciting as some of the stuff on here .  Fitted some mist washer jets and received my member pack in the post 👍.  Pressure from the jets now seems a bit low, so that'll be something to figure out at the weekend.

[mattiekane]

Good news, she's out!

I’ve got the same job this weekend 👍

[mattiekane]

Took me longer than expected, partly cos it's first one I've had out and partly cos it was stuck solid on the gearbox dowells

De-tangoed the side.  Much better I think :)
