    Scrap heap Outback Winter Beater

    Bought a newer Outback to match the Beater.  Same color only newer and 500% nicer.   Then I put the 16'' Outback snows on the beater for some early season fun. Fun was had with large snowbanks launched off a RR track crossing in the woods... It's still running.

    Hey everyone

    You should come to our Portland meet if you can make it tomorrow. As a former Fozzie owner it sounds like you have a good start with the mods. Fogs, rack and flaps is functional and stylish. The exhaust and a nice UEL header and intake will really bring it to life. Have fun!

    *OFFICIAL* Snow Thread

    Had some fun in Standish tonight. Found a nice "trail" that was off the beaten path and managed to get the winter beater off the ground jumping some railroad tracks. Also bashed through some snowbanks that were hood height. Pics to follow if I can get them loaded up soon. $200 Outbacks sure...

    December meet 2013--Five guys

    Are people parking up top on the garage? It's nice to see everyone's rides and that won't happen if we're parked all over the Old Port. I was budgeting to park up there since I don't get out enough. Xmas treat for myself kind of thing.

    December meet 2013--Five guys

    I'm in with my new-to-me Outback. If Kam and his buddy go then we might have a mini caravan from Windham. 3-4 cars

    hello from kennebec countt

    Hi Todd, I met you on the dirt drive. I was in the gold RS coupe, but now I have a 2000 Outback 5mt and it sure is nice! If I see you at another meet we'll have to park them together. Mine is lowered slightly on Legacy struts with H&R springs. It rides great.

    Feeler/WTT: 2.5RS

    The new owner said he would join up. He also mentioned something about a "Maine Subaru Project Facebook" but I don't do Facewaste so I know nothing about it. I'll have to send him a reminder to join up. He did say he'd be around in the snow when we all go out.

    Feeler/WTT: 2.5RS

    Don't be too sad guys, I still have one Subaru in the driveway and on Friday it should be two.

    17x8 et48 Rota GForce 5x100

    I might like to check these out pending my car sale and Outback purchase on Friday.  Would you mind if I test fit one to see if it clears on a lowered Outback?

    Scrap heap Outback Winter Beater

    Thanks to Kam for the hookup with fixing the exhaust today. I expect to see the Outback's hitch on that Fozzie ASAP! Also put on some RallyArmor flaps that were hanging out in the garage.

    In before the close!

    Haha, just saw this. I useful have a Shiba who liked to drift in my Subaru. Good dogs but lots of work. They are fiercely independent little Japanese foxes.

    2010 Forester XT vs 2007 WRX

    Join the wagon mafia. There, I said it. Seriously, after owning a modded Forester and 2 Outback Sports to go into owning a RS coupe...I missed having a wagon so much and I will sacrifice fun over utility. I was happy to buy a crappy $200 Outback just to have a wagon again. XT gets my vote or...

    My take on making n/a power

    You guys have figured out what I have been doing for a long while: having fun in a lightly modded N/A car. My RS has the same gearing, short shift and UEL headers. Add the intake and exhaust stuff and a great suspension setup and you have a great driving car with no headaches, no premium fuel...

    2015 WRX revealed!!!

    It's the offspring of a Corolla and an Audi. I should keep my RS simply because the new ones are so ugly it will boost the value of the good looking old ones... Either I'm not liking any new cars the past few years or I'm just allergic to car loans. Not sure which.

    Scrap heap Outback Winter Beater

    Today I finished installing the bike trays and mocked up the "Thule Dildo" Cargo pod.   It turns out that the stock Outback suspension won't clear 31'' tires...   Even my Winter Beater snow bike has bigger tires! Now I'm almost ready for some snow.  Yes I know the rear mats are VW...

    Scrap heap Outback Winter Beater

    Fastest car buying decision I have ever made led to my new 2013-2014 winter beater Outback.  When I noticed the Outback posted for $200 and it ran and drove I thought: "what's the catch?"  So I bought it and figure if I don't like it and it doesn't work out then it goes to the big Subaru scrap...
