Gex Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 (edited) Thanks man! I have no clearance issue with the Grimmspeed up dump tube and tial wastegate on the cnt pipe. I had more clearance issues with the power steering lines. They had to be bent away and new hoses fitted . I love the noise of the wastegate.

magnusonsubie Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Your wagon was one of the first modified LGT wagons I'd seen in my life at BNW2013 and that was when I still had my impreza but I actually was looking through my instagram posts and I posted a picture of your wagon and I had just confirmed my want for an lgt even more at that point. Keep up with the pics! 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacybt Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Thanks man! I have no clearance issue with the Grimmspeed up dump tube and tial wastegate on the cnt pipe. I had more clearance issues with the power steering lines. They had to be bent away and new hoses fitted . I love the noise of the wastegate. That's great news, I have an ewg setup on its way! Did it look like there a way to just bend the lines without fitting new rubber hose? That's one thing I don't enjoy dealing with. I'm looking forward to the noise too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gex Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) No the issue was more with the way it was installed. It should have been clocked forward more.

chrish8r Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 What are your thoughts on the quality of the CNT catted downpipe? Ive been looking at them but am not sure yet.... Plus, your wagon is straight gorgeous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2baru Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Beautiful! Love the wheel setup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gex Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 The CNT downpipe has been adequate. It has lasted 2.5 years now with no degradation. Fitment isn't the greatest but after recently handling an Invidia downpipe I would say the CNT is on par for an aftermarket piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gex Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 I was surprised myself. I'm sure the cat in the Invidia is nicer along with the alloy used for the pipe. But in terms of fitment they were right on par with each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gex Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 Spring Update. The Gold wheels will be put back on the shelf next week and the Raijins are going back on. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8710/16825458557_92280f8413_b.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8744/16410444074_9082679876_b.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8705/17032002521_6a82c82e75_b.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7585/16845073228_e3e5dd47fd_b.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8696/16410600504_253acb3971_z.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnusonsubie Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I think RBP is the only color that looks good having the orange in the headlights.

I3eXa Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Curious about your potenza tires. Did you paint the lettering or did they come that way? Either way I dig it with the raijins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gex Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 White lettering was done myself. Oil based white sharpe marker. I like the look. Does need to be touched up once and awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natoli4 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 silly question but were you in Puyallup over near the High School a few months back? I think I have a photo of your car last time I was in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gex Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 Possibly. There is another RBP wagon very similar to mine appearance wise running around the greater Seattle area as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gex Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 Gave it a three step DA polish yesterday. Pretty pleased with the results. http://farm1.staticflickr.com/545/18625449749_8dfbd015ba_b.jpg http://farm1.staticflickr.com/461/18189024354_6544faec9e_b.jpg http://farm1.staticflickr.com/314/18189022484_943486b559_b.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gex Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 looks phenomenal! What polish products did you use? Chemical guys v36 and v38 polishes on their green and white polish pads, followed by a Meguiars glaze on a chemical guys blue pad, then Meguiars gold class carnauba wax on a black chemical guys pad. 6" harbor freight dual action polisher with a 5" Astro backing plate and 5.5" chemical guys pads. Took about 8 hours overall, very pleased with the results. Probably be a once a year thing from here out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
