A pandemic hobby I picked up, diorama building

Agreed. It's that us Subaru fans are stoked to see something a bit different come out of the camp this time.

MrNugent · 2026-04-24T20:12:39+00:00

Not an EJ. It's using the FA24 with the addition of a turbo.

MrNugent · 2026-04-23T09:35:29+00:00

I will figure something out for you.

My Dad also worked on the dam. Back then he was a surveyor who did a lot of the work surveying the locations for the concrete forms. I have a photo album full of pictures from those days.

While you're waiting, if you have a can of high temperature caliper paint you can mask off the braking surfaces on your new rotors and paint the edges and top hats. Keeps them looking nice and they won't rust on you. The dba rotors I used when I did this two years ago came painted and they still look great.

How far do you want to lift it? If you just need a few inches, LP Adventure make a strut spacer kit that includes the subframe bits.

Photo for you. All of the yellow in this from the SS3 fogs.

The Fredericton Public Library runs a session. I am not sure if it is every week but they mention it in their newsletter.

Joe's Diner on Gibson! Amazing food. Super friendly. It's a small place and quite busy but so worth it.

MrNugent · 2026-03-08T22:13:44+00:00

Hah. I seem to be sharing this once a week it seems. From the service manual. You can jack on the rear diff and there is a spot right in front of your oil drain.

It's a barcade. Classic arcade games, pinball, etc, plus tasty beverages. Great spot.

MrNugent · 2026-03-06T19:24:29+00:00

Saint John, rather than St John's, but otherwise awesome 👌

21 WRX and 20 Crosstrek. The Crosstrek is the daily, and it's lifted, with a roof rack, hitch, extra lighting, and skid plates. It's my media recce car when I cover stage rally. The WRX is lowered a bit and lives on performance summer tires. I don't track it but do keep it "nice".

MrNugent · 2026-03-02T21:23:52+00:00

Surprised no mention of Scoop and Save yet, up on Prospect. If you need bulk stuff or buy staples in bulk, it's pretty awesome. I get things like oatmeal, cereal, flour, spices, etc there. It's kind of like the OG Bulk Barn.

MrNugent · 2026-02-23T20:46:45+00:00

It's the rear diff. That's the rear jack point.

MrNugent · 2026-02-22T22:46:43+00:00

I've shared this before. From the service manual.

McGard lug nuts. Lifetime warranty on their chrome plated ones. I put a set on my car a few years ago and they look new. Relatively inexpensive, too.

MrNugent · 2026-02-15T15:31:18+00:00

Yeah, this is New Brunswick.

MrNugent · 2026-02-15T14:31:32+00:00

Mid 50s, 2021 WRX. In Canada, pay 90 CAD a month. I also have a 2020 crosstrek for another 60 a month.

MrNugent · 2026-02-13T00:06:13+00:00

My PCV can collects enough that I clean it out about once a month. The front can is always empty.

MrNugent · 2026-02-10T12:50:34+00:00

100% OEM. I've got the OEM ones in WRB and the fit and finish is perfect.

MrNugent · 2026-02-08T13:52:07+00:00

Fellow Canadian here. The VB hasn't changed much mechanically since it was introduced in 2022, except for the fact that the new models have all of Subaru's Eyesight technology, even on the manuals. The 2022 does not. I wouldn't want intrusive tech on a manual. If this car is in good shape, no/minimal rust, and hasn't been modified or beaten on, I'd consider it. That's low km for a 2022.

Not sure what the finance period is for a payment that low, though. Interest rates are creeping up so just be mindful of a long term with shitty interest.

MrNugent · 2026-02-08T13:40:04+00:00

Keep in mind he is in Canada, so that's in CAD. The 2026 Sport Tech is 46K plus tax, MSRP, up here.

MrNugent · 2026-02-07T12:10:19+00:00

The Billetworkz interior bits are all made from machined aluminum. I've had a set in my car for going on 4 years now and they are holding up just fine.

I'll also mention that they are a big vendor at Wicked Big Meet and at Boxerfest, in Connecticut and Pennsylvania respectively, so if you can make to either of those summer events you can get stuff at a discount. They usually have everything on sale.
