    Generally it cones down to being awake for over 28 hours and not wanting to crash my baby. But, she breaks loose real nice and the lsd is pretty neat-o. Pictures will follow soon enough!

    So generally since my last update ive done some general maintenence, new oil, oilfilter, transmission oil, fuel filter, plasti diped the front bumper....

    ... AND


    Took the rear portion of the transmission off as well as the driveshaft, poped out the center diff and welded the spider gears, removed the front cv's (but cut off the portion attaching to the wheel assembly so it doesn't fall apart)!

    TADA! RWD Subaru, inb4 flaming, "why the fuck would you do that and not get an s13?!" etc.

    I give 0 of the fucks.

    also if you plan on making your subaru rwd, wrx's have to have that one bolted on portion of the cv axle for it to work, the rest you can chuck, no plugs into the tranny required. also, on a old legacy you can just take the cv axle out without that portion cut off and kept bolted on, some subaru's are different so don't believe everything you read on the internet!

    Big props to Colton at "Piston Broke"
    10/10 great guy would recommend.

    Also I don't think your sig is big enough.
    That pic is dope, saw it on fb but I never really have enough time top comment via iphone bs.

    And I need a big sig, its to make up for other things like having a small... nose....





    ANYWHORE,
    quick update, not much has been going on, with regards to RWD conversion I'm waiting on a friend of mine to gather some time so we can get to work. However, I ended up snagging a Ford Prob lip off of my #1 subaru Buddy. It doesnt fit perfectly but for free I'm not going top complain, personally I think its ultra dope and anyone who disagrees has a mouth full of wang.


    SUPERHELLASTREETSWEEPER

    So yeah. Its pretty neat-o

    Low HP! I sir am insulted! ahaha But, its not you're average gc8, that's for sure!

    Glad to hear some success stories with the R160's. I've heard mostly negative aspects behind them but I think as long as I dont clutch kick the shit out of it I should be doing alright!

    I always thought bug eyes came with R180's? Or, am I mixing it up from when they changed over to 5x114.3 & 6speed during the blob era?

    Subaru's are generally made with nightmares in mind. They run on hopes and dreams!!

    You're not the only one, this thing should be pretty dope once shes all done... well, she never will be "all done" but you know.
