Corr Performance Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Hello everyone. I've been trying to look for a nice AWD turbo car and i knew that i could find it in the subaru world. My wife has a red my11 WRX hatchback and we were looking to get a family car for me which i can take the kid(s) and still have my own share of fun with it. So, last friday i flew back home from another business trip and immediately hit the road with the wife to pick up this family vehicle in Nashville,TN. Been reading a lot lately on the modifications that can be done to this vehicle and learned a lot so far. Looking forward to modifying this car subtly but to my tastes.

Corr Performance Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 Love this car and certainly the suspension has to be addressed. First though, i couldn't stand all the light that comes into this car especially with my little girl getting blinded by the sun at every angle. so now the wagon has tint!

Danteneon Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Looking good sir! I really need to get some tint on mine. I like to cook my pets and my family. Use commas. Don't be a psycho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corr Performance Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 Thank you sir. Yeah, that tint was a must especially after I was looking at my daughter squinting all day long in the back seat as the sun was hitting her face at any/all angles.

xt2005bonbon Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Very nice OBXT. Congratulations. This is what I did to address the suspension issues: ---> Whiteline rear swaybar. ---> AVO adjustable rear endlinks ---> AVO reinforced brackets ---> Rallitek overload springs ---> 00-04 KYB rear struts I still need to address the front end with better front endlinks (e.g. kartboy), new swaybar bushings, and new LCA bushings. I think I will keep the stock front swaybar for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaitanium Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 where can you get those rallitek springs? forgot if someone mentioned that or their sway bars were unavailable anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xt2005bonbon Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 where can you get those rallitek springs? forgot if someone mentioned that or their sway bars were unavailable anymore. I got them from rallitek.com last year. Looks like they no longer sell them. However, they're selling these: http://www.rallitek.com/KING-SPRINGS-RALLYLOAD-SUSPENSION-98+-OUTBACK-REAR/p-4714 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BENCOB Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Excellent aquisition!! +100% Well worth your 500+ mile drive to get her and bring her home I've always likes the robust look of the outback station wagons! Y'all enjoy your new to you Subaru neighbor......Peace...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corr Performance Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 thanks. Yeah, the drive was not new to me since my best friend went to school at Vanderbilt and I made that drive quite few times. The best part was driving home tired as hell but with a smile on my face seeing my rear view mirror with the car that I've been trying to find for a very long time! super happy.

Corr Performance Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 took her to our dealership down here and they offered me a free inspection on the car. told me the car looks great and the oil leak that i was worried about was from when the last person to change the oil either didnt put a crush washer on the bolt or it just wasn't tightened down sufficiently.

Corr Performance Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 so since the last customer of the day showed up late this past saturday we decided to load her up on the dyno and see what she was able to muster out. here are the results. I was happy with the results, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
