Haha yea car mods def are expensive. I got lucky and found my kit used with real low miles and reallll cheap. When I parted it out I made an extra $700 on it haha

That's why I'm really digging atv mods everything is SOOOO much cheaper.... Except my Elkas haha that cost more than any car suspension I've ever bought

 

[Gen1Pat]

True that! But I'm getting tired of spending money on quads. I'm really wanting to get my Javelin going.

 

[Mdsiman]

Yea I think I'm almost out of ideas for my quad then my next project will start haha. But I'm not doing any motor mods to the wrx because I don't trust there motors and I want to keep my warranty.

I'm thinking about modding my 2001 xr50. Gotta keep spending money on other things so I don't do anything to my car haha

 

[Gen1Pat]

The pancake Subarus are great engines

Those 4 bangers have been known to push 500 hp reliably. Just sayin'

 

[Mdsiman]

Lol I don't trust them at allll. I'm not trying to blow a motor and have to put 10k into it . Possibly when my warranty is up.

 

[Mdsiman]

Na you should do some more research on the newer motors they're ass. Pretty much every Used Subaru for sale has a new motor in it. My buddy has gone through 2 and one 5 speed trans so far.

Now my Honda was a different story I trusted that motor 100%. A lot of guys run those motors 450whp all day on stock internals for a VERY long time.

 

[Mdsiman]

There very temperamental motors and you constantly have to data log the motor to make sure everything's running smoothly. Idk maybe I'm just used to owning a boosted Honda. I just strapped that supercharger on got tuned and never had to datalog or worry about anything.

 

[Gen1Pat]

I don't get many newer Subarus through the door. Mostly cars no older then 08. Great car. Love to get a Baja with a 5 speed.

 

[Mdsiman]

Yea I'm really digging the forester xt with the newer motors. I can't wait to see what they do with the new 15 wrx motors. I've seen a few modded ones so far on nasioc and they look real promising.Idk why they kept the same old motor in the 15 Sti tho idk what they were thinking.
I was at my local Subaru dealer the other day and they had 4-5 15 stis there and they said they can't get rid of them at all. They had no 15 wrx tho and said they sell right when they hit the lot

I want a 03 outback with a modded sti driveline swap. Keep it looking stock on the outside. Make the turbo go choo choo. All the normal Subaru stuff

 

[Gen1Pat]

I just want to drive my Javelin!!

 

[Mdsiman]

What all needs to be done to get it back on the road?

 

[Gen1Pat]

Honestly, not much. The worst part is that I need to swap out the driver's front frame rail (it's a unibody car) because mine has rot damage. I have a good one on my parts car, I just need the time. Once I do that, it's only a matter of rebuilding the steering & suspension, rebuilding the brakes, throwing tires on it, and it is ready to hit the road. Body work won't be anywhere near complete but it'll be drivable.

 

[Mdsiman]

Nice that's legit. I need a project car like that haha

 

[Gen1Pat]

It's a very solid car. I really lucked out. Now I need to start selling off all the parts I don't need from my parts car, so I can have money to roll over into what I do need.

 

[Mdsiman]

Haha yea Never messed with the editing feature on photobucket app before

 

[Mdsiman]

Still haven't gotten this ******* stud out!! I got the bent one out but the one that is broken in half doesn't have enough thread showing to use the stud kit I bought.******* blows!!!!!!

 

[SonOfABoss]

get an easy out kit or drill it out and tap the hole

 

[Mdsiman]

Yea that might be the next thing I'm going to do. Unless my local shop will do it cheap then I'll just go that route
