Maybe get rid of the fenders and do something like this

Have washed the car a few times now and still no leaks. Just need to do that modification to the back of the canopy before you install the seal I doubt if I'd ever drive it in the rain but if I did I know water won't get inside through the canopy

When getting parts for my engine the dealer didn't care what car it came out. They wanted the VIN or the engines serial number. Well I never wrote down the VIN from the car I pulled it from, so I had no idea. Subaru makes many changes during the model year so its kind of important to know what...

This was sent to me years ago from another member. Haven't talked to them in years and I didn't know if it was ok to mention their name so I omitted it.

Was cleaning out some files in my computer and came across this

What prompted me to post this, In a previous post I made the comment that the K&N filter is one of the worst filters you could put in your car. Sure it flows more but why. The only way a filter can flow more is to make it more porous, which in turn will allow more dirt to get by. The Subaru...

Test results are in (Sort of) Haven't taken the car out yet but idling it till it goes into a closed loop. First the data with the K&N Filter Short term fuel trim is making adjustments of almost -5.5% . If I'm understanding this stuff right the minus means its running lean and has to add more...

Progress on the air box Removed the back section to make it easier to install Made a tray for the air box to fit into. Got it all back together but haven't done a test drive yet. It may just be me but when I started the car up to see how it ran with the new air box, the car sounded a little...

Adapters made and oem mounts cutoff

Back to my build This is the OEM filter box before any changes that I'm going to attempt to use Things that I had to consider is will it handle the cfm that the engine requires and having a intake that I can be modified so it will connect to the intake tube of the engine. Side view Top view...

Thought I'd start a separate post on this. Didn't realize there was so many tests on the internet about this. First stock air filters so you have something to compare to. Next performance air filters Also found tests on what oil filter is the best

Another site that tested the K&N and it failed miserably filtering dust compared to OEM filters I think they did a test on filtering moisture and it failed that test also compared to OEM filters https://www.nicoclub.com/archives/kn-vs-oem-filter.html So its not just my opinion on this. There...

Do you really need a tank? Can you just have a fitting hidden somewhere to attach a air hose to. What is the size of the tank that your thinking of using

Yup, I've known this for some time but when it came time to get a filter for the car I went for the easy route and got a K&N just to keep progress moving on. Now that the car is basically done, I'm going back and fixing these quick fixes that I did. Hold a oem type filter to the sun. No light...

Went to the Pick a Part yard the other day looking for a air filter box that will work in my build. I have a K&N filter now, but after reading so many negative reviews on them I decided to get a OEM filter installed in the car Got to much time and money invested in the car to have a simple thing...

Not much posting going on so I thought I'd post this. Been driving the car for less than a year and already the valve covers are leaking. I used a Fel-Pro gasket kit originally Well since these are failing so early, I wasn't about to use them again so I'm going with Victor Reinz gaskets...

So what's going on with S009 Ordered samples of carpeting so I would have a better idea what will look best in the car. Engine is running nice and smooth but when I hooked the scanner up to check things out I notice the fuel trims (short and long term) were running a little lean (-5% ) and the...

Didn't know this was such a high priority with tire manufacturers I was just thinking of ways to have a quieter ride https://www.tirerack.com/upgrade-garage/what-is-noise-reducing-tire-technology?gclid=55b0d6d54fd919a0db7ebf9fb7f36f98&gclsrc=3p.ds&msclkid=55b0d6d54fd919a0db7ebf9fb7f36f98

This is something I've never really considered till now about tires Size has been the most talked about but what about construction. (Not just radial or bias) There are topics on the internet on what tires give a quieter and smoother ride. However I couldn't find any tests that give any...
