did u break the skid gauge when u folded up your bumper?

 

[GClark]

A piece on the right side folded back, so I just cut that off with a sawzall. Couldn't tell anything happened to it.

So today on the way to the gym with a few buddies we happened upon a empty parking lot next to the memorial gym. There was a snow bank on the corner of the parking lot, but it was low enough that I could bust through it if I had some speed. So I stop at the 4 way(see ms paint), and punch it through the intersection(no cars around). We hit this "snowbank" and caught some serious air! Turned out it wasn't a snow bank, it was an island. We touched back down on Terra ferma in the parking lot, skidding to a halt. I get out, do a once over of everything and everything was perfect. I kind of figured it was fine anyways since I've jumped it higher in Utah.

I tried to grab a picture of it, but the lighting was flat. Here's my friend on the jump we took:

Another pic in slightly better lighting:

Friends loved the jump. They all want Subarus now

Just for shits and giggles, what are you getting for mpgs? I've been around 26-27 with my 205 70 15 geolanders

 

[GClark]

I got some new tires today thanks to Iwagon. 205/75/15 Grabbers. I painted the hubcaps (

) white, to prepare the obs for it's new wheels

. Which should be coming in next week!

Only cool kids rock hubcaps

 

[Stein]

Lol it looks so much worse with hubcaps than just naked steelies.

Take it off G! Take it off!

 

[SUBARUDE]

what are you getting for wheels I have two sets of 15" for sale

 

[GClark]

Well it was team d's, but I scrapped that. For now at least. I need to figure out what direction I want to go with this car. Maybe up, maybe down. I don't like the way the new 15 inch grabbers handle, it's a lot more mushy then the 16s, kinda turns me off. So we'll see. I know wrbwrx wants me to buy his 17's, and if get those, I'm going to need some coilovers...

.

One thing that has always bugged me for two years now is the exhaust. It sounds fine inside, but it's way too raspy on the outside. Sounds like a honduh. Today I think I finally found a solution for that,

sounds pretty good too me!

I'll have it welded on soon and post up a video with the results. That plus my high flow cat and Borla Headers should finally give a decent tone.

^sweet. I had a super 44 on mine before the dynomax setup I have now. and can I have your old cats?

 

[IBratmanI]

Headers will make ALL the difference in sound!! And don't go low with this one!!! You gotta have your off road car too!

[i-wagon]

Obs isn't made for street. Not fast, and looks angry enough to belong offroad

 

[IBratmanI]

Oh jeez

 

[i-wagon]

Well... if you take the lift out, text me a price on it

 

[GClark]

Will do. I'll probably keep the lift attached to the struts though. It was a hassle to install the longer top hat bolts, I'd like to keep it simple.
