OutbackXT05 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Alrighty well heres my OBXT before anything was done to it and looking back at these photos it kinda makes me laugh because I dont remember it looking so lifted. http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt307/fibtlcivic/fffff.jpg http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt307/fibtlcivic/fffasfda.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutbackXT05 Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 First two things I did was some HIDs. 6000k low beams and 3000k fogs. I've always had bass in my car so it had to happen also. http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt307/fibtlcivic/dasd.jpg http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt307/fibtlcivic/fffsad.jpg http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt307/fibtlcivic/fgasfsdf.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutbackXT05 Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 Cant go wrong with this CBE really good for the money. http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt307/fibtlcivic/DSCF0878.jpg And heres a after some fun in the mud photo too http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt307/fibtlcivic/photo2-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutbackXT05 Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 If theres one thing I love about this car that my previous ones didn't have its all the usable trunk space. I still had quite a bit of space left. http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt307/fibtlcivic/afffff.jpg I wish my car was always this low. But at least I know I can load the car up no problem with no rub. http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt307/fibtlcivic/asasdasdasdsd.jpg http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt307/fibtlcivic/aasdfasfasa.jpg http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt307/fibtlcivic/yhyhhytyh.jpg I was thinking about getting some +38 offset wheels but after I was hauling this stuff around I'm not anymore. The car definently wouldnt have been very drivable with weight in the back. New wheels should be shipped out this next week so new shoes for the outback yay and I have my downpipe and uppipe to put on and hello stage 2. So things are moving along nicely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTTuner Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Someone went to Harbour Freight and got the folding engine hoist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutbackXT05 Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 Im pretty sure it is from good ole harbour freight. I was borrowing it for my buddies rb swap and to pull the motor on our chump car. It does really good though for what it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutbackXT05 Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 Harbour freight really is ftw. My friend doesnt like them cuz its not snap on or craftsman because all his teachers make fun of harbour freight. Well i thought i was going to be stage 2 today but apparently my O2 sensor thought otherwise. So more waiting for me. At least i got my uppipe in. I must say rust makes everything sooo much more fun. Also throwing my thumb in the grinder felt good too. Imma idiot lol.

OutbackXT05 Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 It rides pretty good with the legacy suspension and thats with 60k miles on the front and 90k on the rear. So it could be better. I dont have anything planned for either of those areas but if i am i will let you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutbackXT05 Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 Im getting my wheels tomarrow. Im excited. They are my first set of rims ive ever actually bought even though they arent name brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutbackXT05 Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 Drag DR-33 18x7.5 +45 so I dont have to worry about any rubbing or fitment issues what so ever. I wanted the XXR 522 19x8.5 +38 but since I carry stuff a lot it just wouldnt work out for me unless I get stretched tires I'd assume. I think the drags look pretty good on the outback though I'll post a crappy pic of em since it's all I have. Will get better pics tomarrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutbackXT05 Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 Ok so here's my all around crappy pic of the new wheels. Horrible angle. Makes my exhaust look like its nice and straight and you can hardly see the wheels, but they are on. I had to steal my friends lugs off his 240 S13 since the lugs they sent me wouldnt work. He doesnt need lugs anyways. Tomarrow I'll actually wash the car since I dont plan on tearing up anymore mud and get some good pics. http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt307/fibtlcivic/crappywheelpic.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pansontw Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 You might wanna get a pair of LED tails to transform the whole appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Motion Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 240s are 4 lug...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutbackXT05 Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 Yes they are well his old one wasnt but this one is. Just borrowing his 4 lugs till tomarrow. I couldnt wait to have them on. His car isnt exactly drivable at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutbackXT05 Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 And what my car really needs to change its appearance is a wash. I dont even remember the last time I washed it. I guess the new wheels gave me the incentive and now I guess I'll keep it clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Motion Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 when i did 5 lug conversion on my 240 i just went to get a set of locking lugs...LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutbackXT05 Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 Ya I have locking lugs for mine but again I dont know what they were thinking when they sent me the lugs they did, but there is no possible way to get a socket around the lugs let alone the locking nuts. Locking nuts wont stop me when I have access to the socket and car lol. I did ask before taking them though. I wouldnt just steal them and say ummm yup they are mine now. He couldn't say no to his head mechanic. Even though I have no clue what I'm doin 70% of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutbackXT05 Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 Those LED tail lights have kinda grown on me and I'd like to snag a pair but I'm not feeling the almost 400 dollar price tag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutbackXT05 Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 Oh and I forgot to add I'm now stage 2 FINALLY. Got the new O2 sensor in no problems. I just need to put a new ground on the heatshield on the collector pipe if it's even necessary (old one rusted away). And also to trim the old turbo heat shield and it'll all be back together. Sounds SOOOOO much better with the downpipe and tune. Now I just have to keep telling myself that stage 2 is enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
