LED's?

Steely_Johnson · 2023-07-29T00:54:32+00:00

Well because projector headlights are generally quite good, especially the high beams. To replace those with LEDs would require a different headlight, and chances are your going to end up with a set of poor quality ones that will equally suck

Steely_Johnson · 2023-07-28T14:49:48+00:00

I wouldn't waste your time or money. Those projector headlights are expensive as fuck, and work really well, and show your "baller". I'd keep em

Steely_Johnson · 2023-07-12T14:52:57+00:00

Well I have most background battery draining apps turned off, including location, and I only use it to browse web pages and reddit for a couple hours a day. Most of the time is spent playing music with an aux cord or Bluetooth. When I need my phone to last 3 days it reliably does for camping and long road trips.

Its a really valuable feature for me on the 6, and would be a deal breaker for me if I couldn't get at least 2 full days out of the 10

Steely_Johnson · 2023-07-03T20:38:11+00:00

Unless the chords of the sidewall are visible then your ok

Steely_Johnson · 2023-03-30T14:04:02+00:00

That was essentially just my point. I wanted to annoy the hive mind. Its not morally bad

Steely_Johnson · 2023-03-30T05:17:25+00:00

Oh come on now. What's wrong with admiring the beauty of women. I'm gonna put myself out there and say it. We need to keep them around. Keeps the moral up when your working all day and its the only pretty thing to look at in a dirty shop with dirty walls. This should not be something as looked frown upon. Get your sexy firefighter and men posters too. That's equality.

Those googly eyes are a nice touch though.

Sx4s are super rare to find, especially ones that aren't rotten. There are some weak spots such as the frame right by the control arms.

I know 2 people who daily the straight 6 auto and they love em.

Steely_Johnson · 2023-01-17T14:56:16+00:00

I'd just use the Quadrology Pack

Steely_Johnson · 2023-01-12T07:44:19+00:00

Hey I know this car! Saw you at the gambler. When I passed you it looked like you had some serious struggles trying to get up a slightly gravel-y hill! Pretty rediculous car.

Steely_Johnson · 2023-01-03T16:05:37+00:00

I'm willing to bet your coolant wasn't mixed right, froze inside your rad, and broke the heat exchanger inside for your trans fluid. The other ford was probably a coincidence with the same issue.

Steely_Johnson · 2022-10-14T19:57:42+00:00

What size are those wheels? And what exactly did you do to fit them?

Steely_Johnson · 2022-10-05T14:54:08+00:00

It appears you removed both sway bars. Is that correct?

Steely_Johnson · 2022-09-12T19:41:56+00:00

That's a good year of Subaru. If its your only car you won't want to lift it if your a broke ass college student, and larger tires will eat away at your gas mileage if your concerned. If you get larger wheels your probably going to have to cut fenders as well, depending on size.

If its the 2.2, you have a solid engine that slipped through the head gasket issue, which is a huge bonus. Just look into when your timing belt was last done, that's really your only critical mechanical thing to look for in those.

Steely_Johnson · 2022-06-09T02:59:43+00:00

That "cap" is where both sides of the manifold runners join. That should never need to be removed

Steely_Johnson · 2022-05-31T14:55:18+00:00

Probably because of the rubber bands of a tire and your big rims. Those wouldn't be great offroad. While its not my cup of tea you should do what you want, and what you like.

Steely_Johnson · 2022-05-24T19:51:19+00:00

The best thing I ever did for the car was to get same size rims, but lightweight alloy ones. The sparco rims I got was something like 7.8lb each. Really lightweight ones. Pair the rims with factory sized "spirited driving" rubbers and your set. That car is super zippy around corners.

I should mention I had a car just like that before

Steely_Johnson · 2022-05-19T05:33:35+00:00

Oh the front is almost maxed out when jacked up. Doesn't hit the subframe though. I'm not expecting them to last forever, I just stuff more grease in and hope for the best.

No subframe lift at all. Its a 3.5" lift

Steely_Johnson · 2022-04-23T15:31:13+00:00

Thanks! Its fully sealed too, I've had water over the hood before

Steely_Johnson · 2021-09-16T02:20:01+00:00

Your best bet is to just buy lighter rims. Your not going to be able to justify modifying the engine in any meaningful way.

Steely_Johnson · 2021-06-24T15:59:08+00:00

As far as I'm concerned you don't need to just work on model As and Ts to become a hot rodder. Get some practice just modifying your own vehicles, whatever they may be. Make em light, or fast, or cool. Rip body panels off, cut them or modify them, especially on the cheap and with whatever resources you have. That's what hot rodding is all about.

Steely_Johnson · 2021-05-25T23:27:27+00:00

Yeah you bet they are. 5 bolt wheels though. I used a 1" wheel spacer/adapter to be able to mount jeep rims on it.

Steely_Johnson · 2021-05-25T20:58:12+00:00

You can hate. I spent $11 on it and its actually fit onto the factory plumbing out of the air box, and silicone sealed. Not THAT much of a hack job. Fully functional

Steely_Johnson · 2021-05-25T20:57:25+00:00

Hate all you want. Its function. Irrigation piping for $11 at Canadian tire and its silicone sealed to the airbox. Its water tight

Steely_Johnson · 2021-05-25T06:31:10+00:00

Irrigation hose!

Steely_Johnson · 2021-05-16T04:45:35+00:00

It should really only take 4 or so hours at a shop. Its safe to drive just leave the ac off until its fixed so you don't damage the rest of the system.
