    I did some mild gutting on it, yeah.

    Installed my new wheel.

    Hydro ebrake

    Quick and dirty exhaust I made in a couple hours. Deleted 1 cat, then its pure straight pipe for like 4ft and dumps in front of the passenger rear wheel. Quite loud. Quite loud indeed. Deafening, one might say lol.
    Got pulled over today not for the exhaust, but for doing 56 in a 40. They heard it at wot though, so they know its super illegal and the second officer was shining his flashlight at the exhaust. No airbags, no dash (which means no vin plate visible with the hood closed, completely gutted, louder than all hell, and speeding. Was super friendly and gave me a warning.

        Just got my car weighed at scrap-it and boy has it lost some weight! It started at 3415 according to the always-correct internet. Now it's down to 3180 with me in it, which is 3055 without. Light as fuck for an outback.

            I don't, because with the stock equal length header it sounds somewhat garbage-like. I'm gonna change the exhaust soon anyway, because it was cool and fun for like 5 days, now it's obnoxious. Plus it makes the floor resonate and makes EVERYTHING. RATTLE. EVERYTHING.

                    UPDATE! My "drift life" has begun! I did my RWD coversion last night before work. Put the car on the lift around 5:30, And drove it home at 9:45 to get ready for work. I don't have pictures, I was more worried about getting it done so i could be at work for 11 lol. It's currently peg-leggin' it, but it spins all the way through first and second without even beating on it that hard. But I'm welding the rear diff tonight cuz it needs moar slide. The car is no longer a daily, unless I really wanna drive it to work (which has been every day since I decided to not daily it lol). I have one blown strut, which sucks, so I'm gonna slap on the set of the old coilovers from my girlfriend's car, that has a blown rear as well (dust boot deteriorated from either salt or penetrating oil, dust got into the seal), but at least it'll be less likely to want to roll. And by flipping the tophats so the camber adjustment looks like this \ /, when I add negative camber (which i'm gonna) I'll also add positive caster, which a subaru needs DESPERATELY when you make it rwd. I'll get some pictures tonight though! And hopefully some video.

                        Oh, I've also deleted my rear bumper beam. Hey, JDM impreza's don't come with rear bumper beams (look it up, it's true) so why does my outback need one?

                          If you need any RWD stuff let me know, my brother and I built his WRX for drifting and hes got it torn down right now. Got a bunch of wrx axles, two R160 welded diffs (went R180) and an extra 2.5rs transmission which has shorter gears. Also he has WRX seats if you are interested. Located in hamilton MA

                            Thanks man! So I pulled an all nighter and welded the rear diff, installed a set of coilovers and painted the rear wheels a super obnoxious pink after pulling them off the parts car. When I installed the coils I added a fair amount of caster and camber. Havent gotten an alignment done yet so I'm unsure on numbers but I know I have about 4* of negative camber in the rear, since these coils were installed at the ride height of my girlfriend's outback. The 420 lb weight loss in mine makes it ride higher, but not much higher lol. The turn in and wheel centering are vastly improved, and its pretty low still. I put on my hella jdm yo lawn edging lip and it sits 1-1.5" off the ground. Rolled the fenders with a BFH because ain't nobody got time fo' dat. Bonus is, I got pictures and video. Tonight's project is exhaust, something fun and retarded is on the menu.

                            Very weld. much jdm. wow drift!

                            More fun things to come tonight, and I have a video to post.

                              Broke a rod after beating the snot out of it every time I drive it, so I pulled the motor over the weekend and the engine bay is getting wire tucked and mildly shaved and a new shortblock is going in.

                                get dem headgaskets and timing belt service done on the new one before it goes in. My belt was in good shape at 120K but headgaskets were fucked.
