Back to the Subaru.
I immediately began to have fun with the car:
notice my front lip was ripped off that night.:(
Also, my car was introduced to a dear old friend, Re-Bar.(he's around here somewhere)

After about 2 months of owning the car I got into a scuffle with a Yukon and the Yukon won.:cry:

So being out of cash as I always am I decided to fix it myself, with the help of Kyle, THE MASTER WELDER!!!

I then bought a replacement hood but it was blaze yellow and had the banana look going on there. Next came my unpainted 2.5RS hood because I found it for cheap. Finally I got the hood painted but i spent about 2 months with the yellow and then the unpainted hood. Unfortunately I lost the pics of those when my HD crashed.


I've since added minor things like the strut tower bars and h-brace. I've also changed my turbo from the VF30 (i thought was bad) to a vf39.

I've let it sit in this state for the better part of a year and half. I've had a few pictures taken in the mean time but for the most part it was just a fun daily.

Here are a few of those pics I've taken over that year.

Now I'm in a state where I'm selling my Nissan and will be converting my Subaru to my DD/Project/Driftymobile.

I have already begun accumulating parts for a RWD conversion and plan on installing the RWD center diff in the upcoming weeks. Along with that the car will be Tuned professionally(finally), and I'll be installing a Cusco 2-way LSD. I've got a spare set of axles ready to go for when I snap my current ones. :mrgreen:

I'm still deciding on the proper coilovers to get but that is also in the works for then next few weeks.

That's pretty much it for now so I'll keep this updated as much as I can.

damn i really miss my fisheye.

whitezenki 03-02-2007 02:50 AM

looks awesome man, and RWD ftw!

highmilehatch 03-02-2007 03:03 AM

Car looks real good. Props on fixing the fender bender yourself. Good luck with the rwd conversion.

Honest_Bob 03-02-2007 08:49 AM

Looking good man! :mrgreen:

JasterM5 03-02-2007 10:51 AM

thx, guys I'm really excited to be putting in the RWD. As soon as I can make it to PoolMike's its goin in.

Chaz, I told you not to sell that thing.

MuddyREX 03-02-2007 10:56 AM

RWD?? Oh no3s!!

JasterM5 03-02-2007 11:42 AM

No worries, this will be completly reversable. RWD in the summer, AWD in the winter, best of both worlds. :mrgreen:

MuddyREX 03-02-2007 11:55 AM

Awesomeness!

james_ls 03-02-2007 01:32 PM

Thing looks good.

Needs some sort of a front lip...cause with that intercooler it throws off the proportion.

Can't wait to see the RWD conversion on that thing.

STI_wagon 03-02-2007 01:37 PM

Nice and clean. love the 22b wing

MPowerKai 03-02-2007 02:14 PM

A little off topic but is that an AE86 hatchback? Let me know when you are selling it.

Ouchy. Ivan isn't cool enough to drive a rolla. He likes the weiner.... it's true and buy some twist of fate I get stuck being his roomate. Isn't that some ****.

Back to topic though we will make the car mega awesome.

D Money 03-02-2007 03:30 PM

This is going to be the WILDEST subaru once it goes RWD. I can't wait to see him kick the back end out sideways through the parking lots.

I wanted to do this, but I bitched out!

sisforsurfing 03-02-2007 04:28 PM

This will be cool, I'm really interested to see what you guys do to this car. Don't post on NASIOC though :roll:

Where's the picture when this car almost slid off the edge of the cliff? haha

When you try to get him off?

S.Milone 03-02-2007 08:17 PM

It's true Ivan likes to say dirty things we are never really sure when he is joking.

JasterM5 03-03-2007 12:00 AM

Man, 1 freudian slip and I never hear the end of it. Oh well, at least I have a job..... and I can drive my car.... :roll:

jspek 03-03-2007 05:06 AM
