I definitely don't plan on doing a single thing to the car until I have an Accessport. These cars are Way too delicate to throw parts at without a tune. I'll leave the intake, I'd much rather have it running too rich than too lean.

You COULD spend $400-$600 on an Accessport...

OR

You could spend $169 on an openport 2.0, $189 on a wideband, and $75 on one of my E-tunes...

Cobb's OTS maps are garbage.

I would love to sell the wing, but I'm sure shipping would be outrageous. I'm in NC, so it would have to be shipped across the country.

Do you go to MustangWeek?
I bring HUGE crates out there to the show and could easily toss it in there - eh?

Eh!!!! Thats my word!


Also, less talky more pictures of subies. Does anyone have a rhd one? Or what's import lay in US?

I pulled the interior out of it today.

It doesn't look dirty, but believe me, there was enough dog hair in the carpet to make 10 dogs.





One seat cleaned and de-haired



Much cleaner. Still not where I want it, but at least I can drive the car without being disgusted with the smell.



Back seat is still a work in progress. I can't get the hairs out of the fabric. I spent 2 hours on them but there's still hair embedded in the fabric. I'll do some research and see what I can do.





Then I decided to clay the hood to see what I was working with. Just as I thought, it has never been clayed before.



After 2 passes with M105 and M205. You really can't see the difference in the picture, but in person there is a HUGE difference in the depth and clearness in the paint. You can see how dull the fenders/bumper is compared to the hood.



Then I compounded and polished a headlight. They're going to come out flawless with some more time.





Once again, you can't tell too much in the picture, but in person it's a huge difference.



The front carpet/seats done. I still haven't done the jambs, windows, or wiped down any of the panels. And don't be hating on my Honda floor mats lol

[chris91]

Either ^^ that or just use a lint roller. Thats normally how I get the hair out when detailing.

Oh believe me I tried that and a lint remover, but the hair is actually underneath the layer of material in the middle of the seats. It's hard to explain, but if you saw it you'd understand. Oh well, I'm getting it slowly.



I took the axle back off a few days ago. It sounds freakin awesome for stock exhaust with no muffler.

Clean interior

I'm really not sure at this point what I want to do with it. I kinda want to go for more of a meaty fitment instead of unfunctional since it is AWD and I'd like to be able to use the car.

I'm leaning towards this setup.

I can count the number of 2002-2013 Subies in my county on my hands, so they're VERY rare around here, which is one reason why when I found this car I jumped on it.

 

[hottwheels04]

so your daily driver subie will be faster then your mustang weekend toy lol nice but after you get done with the beater time to mod your stang some more... we cant be having the subie faster lol
