Some of you might remember me from Dom Tune BBQ at Byrons place. I showed up with Andy and my friend Chris who had a 06 2.5i. About 2 years ago i bought a 1993 Subaru Impreza L, with over 200K and worn Cvd's, for 400 dollars, it was the best thing ever! Pic when i was lookin at it:

Car sat awhile, Till i started to dislike driving my beast of a truck. It was great for winter, has a plow to make some extra money, but really isn't good for cruising.

So work began, changed the CVD's cleaned the car all up. Exhaust started to sound a bit bad, needed a few things like gaskets and such, but the muffler was just shot. I tried to use one out of a newer outback, but it was just too big. Cut what i needed and the tip, and just straight piped it. And its not that loud. I need to weld supports, and need to bend the pipe so it fits better,.

After that, my hood's clear coat was a bit peeling...

Decided to paint it flat black,

More pics.

More random Pics. haha.

Motor's out, sent a clutch for a FWD not an AWD. She's down for a week

Painted my bumper, mounted my hellas.

Went from:

To:

Poor hella's.. I fixed my bumper already, bent most of the metal back, got headlights and a radiator, just gotta get a hood and bumper beam

What did you use to fix the rust on your car?

Trev · « **Reply #16 on:** May 07, 2011, 12:24:30 AM »

Thanks guys, The rust we cut out and made some metal pieces for it, pop rivited it in and bondo for now. i, getting one of those cheap 100 dollar habor fright welders, Ive read a bunch of reviews and they say its perfectly fine for small stuff, so it'll do good for bodywork once i get ambition to paint my car

most awesome

Trev · « **Reply #19 on:** May 29, 2011, 09:54:01 PM »

I don't know if i like the look so much, maybe it'll grow on me... What do you guys think? I mean, its a turbo xs ti, it was cheap, and my car sounds better...

Shitty pic.

Kavik · « **Reply #20 on:** May 30, 2011, 01:01:09 AM »

your second pic is incomplete

not a huge fan of the look of that exhaust on that car....but I think sound is more important. how often do you really have to look at the back of your car vs. how often you have to listen to it?

Trev · « **Reply #21 on:** May 30, 2011, 02:14:55 AM »

Well, when you see it tomaro you'll see, and hear

Trev · « **Reply #22 on:** June 01, 2011, 08:28:09 PM »

Thanks to rshaw and Byron, i have new stuffs!

Thanks Byron, knob feels awesome, since it was universal, i cut my stock shifter and made a diy short shift, haha.

Kavik · « **Reply #23 on:** June 01, 2011, 11:26:29 PM »

I forgot to come back and comment in here after meeting you the other day......Yes, the exhaust definitely sounded good on there
