'99 Subaru GC8 RX Impreza

Front lip arrived yesterday. To say I was excited is an understatement.

Will install tonight and post up some pictures.

Fucking air leaks and shit. Bags are back in, re-did my fittings but must not have tightened them enough.

Sleeves are rubbing at the rear (too much camber and they're rubbing on the inner wall bit) so have to remove some camber which is shit. Which means struts back out, tighten the fittings all up and then change the camber tops.

Not sure how much that is going to change the fitment with the RS's, but looking at getting some sensible wheels to tuck hard as dailys.

Front lip installed, well, two thirds of it. Installing the rest today with more photos to come.


Need this holiday badly. Two weeks off of work has commenced, which means helping a mate out with his truck and hopefully servicing the Subaru.

Extended studs rocked up today for the rear drum brakes. Will hopefully install them tomorrow all going well.

Got some mad self notching happening at the rear now the bag clears everything. No more rubbing, but still concerned about the damage done to the sleeve. Will contact BagRiders in the next couple of days in regards to what I can do as a replacement one or something.

Had a massive road trip on the weekend. Here are some happy shnaps from it.

As you can see, front lip has been installed. Forgot about it a couple of times while in Melbourne and crunched it, but nothing too bad. Needs a lick of paint and I'm going to colour match the side skirts with some plastidip I reckon.

My Hella supertones arrived yesterday as well so they'll be going in and then the front end of the Subaru should be finished.

Have been looking into other wheel setups for daily driving/something new. I really want some fifteen52 Tarmacs, but just not sure how they would go.

Hard parking in the driveway with the supertones all mounted. Will wire them up at some point. Still not sure on them though, I'm not 100% sold on the look, but wanted to try it out anyway.

Check out that dirty ass! Lots of rain and people opening the boot.

Back to stockies for daily duties unfortunately. But left my spacers on this time.

Some countryside love up at the grandparents place.

I gotta say, I'm not a fan of the supertones. The "look at me" styling of them breaks up how clean your car is plus, its an extremely played boobaru mod. Now, were you to paint the grills black and keep them for the fact that they're loud and obnoxiously annoying, that's cool.

I think it is the only played out Sebaru mod that I have done, which is kinda cool. They're loud as fak.

Some more photos of le Sebaru from this morning/today.

hey man, I love what you're doing...I had the same setup on the gf4 wagon. the one on the NUE's and SJC's, I would really like to make a suggestion and say that it is in dyer need of a frame notch. with that im positive you could lay your front half of the skirts on the ground considering I could lay pinch welds on 17x8.5/9.5

good luck man, im not on here much but its refreshing to see another bagged one!

That GF wagon was dope! I'm going to get a frame notch at the front in the coming weeks and I'm even planning something similar for the rear. I want to lay frame all the way around on stock wheels...

Thanks!

I took a little video of the Subaru while at my grandparents place...
