Got my Hawaii plates on right away and was finally able to put on jdm rain visors yay! Still puttering along during my rebuild break in, which is perfect with the local style driving speeds http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160210/8d2f8b4446898754cf36f6978af8f00c.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160210/9402d376af0006606aec64c5134323c2.jpg Update 01.19.16 I've been slacking on keeping this updated. Just got my car back from Mert @ RBMS Auto Care in Hayward. I highly, highly recommend him and his shop if you ever need work done in the Bay Area. Car was dropped off at the port yesterday to be shipped to Oahu. *While the car was getting worked on, I went ahead and added some fun bits. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160119/fa4375076898c6720ed78f905542bf59.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160119/c9cb5498193072dbb8d1712120d905e3.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160119/611ed0f8bf8a5136880cdb161c4156f7.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160119/253f5f0595e00271b2509736a5589079.jpg The other ride on Oahu http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160119/ce13acf7eb11f92f86f0e2384a2c1894.jpg The Start I just posted over on subaruoutback but thought I'd post here as well. I'm new to forum and thought I'd start a photo journal of sorts for my recent purchase. Purchased 04.12.13 in Colorado. I'm actually living in Hawaii right now but we're planning to move to SF around the end of summer. Flew out to LAX to meet my dad who wanted to come along for the adventure then connected out to Denver. Picked up the car and made the 1,100 mile trek back to Long Beach. Got to briefly enjoy over the weekend and snapped a few photos the morning of my flight home. I love this color! Not a stranger to Subaru, miss this car! And the last car I had Don't have an major plans with mods, perhaps a new wheel set if anything first. We'll see where this OBXT takes me Edited June 13, 2019 by FutureFicus Updated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FutureFicus Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 Thanks everyone! I'm just now finding out that this color and trim level is somewhat rare! A nice perk and glad I made the trek out to get it. welcome to the forum! are you originally from So Cal? Must be nice living in Hawaii. I'm originally from Hawaii, but grew up in So Cal. Can't really complain I guess haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureFicus Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 nice.. i have the same color, but two tone.. best subaru color ever Saw your ride in couple threads, I dig it and the two tone! I've been contemplating the wheel set up you have as an option on a set of wheels. What are the wheel specs on the xxr 530s you have? I was looking at 18x8.75 +33 and I'm wondering if I'd have any issues running them on stock height. Thinking about a 255/45 or 245/45 tire.

Miro Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I saw a Legacy sedan version of that color the other day, and it blew my mind. I had no idea I'd like brown that much! (I'm usually a black car kind of guy.) Welcome to the board! BTW, what event were you participating in with the E30? Was that some kind of rallycross?

kongzilla Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 The only thing I wish they did was add black leather instead of the tan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sublimejoe Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 ^ A wish echoed by half of the OBXT owners out there hahah. I lucked out with black on black, but would kill for some spec b door panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FutureFicus Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 BTW, what event were you participating in with the E30? Was that some kind of rallycross? Yup rallycross, super fun. The e30 went from a beat up daily driver/surf mobile to a somewhat dedicated rallycross car. At first I was bummed that I couldn't get black interior, but it the ivory grew on me. Thanks for the details shirekid2.5i! Thinking of set of matte black, but no doubt bronze would look good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravelracer Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Excellent pickup on the Outback and nice E30! You should check out the rallyx's here in Norcal, we could always use more competitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should check out the rallyx's here in Norcal, we could always use more competitors. Thanks gravelracer! I miss participating in rallyx here (sold the E30). They're having a one-off event at Kualoa Ranch in May that I'm trying to get a co-drive for. I'd love to get back into rallyx, I'll definitely look into it as soon as move over to SF!

FutureFicus Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 It's been a while since I've posted. Moved from Hawaii to SF last September and did two and half months of backpacking Asia and Europe in between the move. Thanksgiving weekend plastidipped my wheels. My stock struts were ready for retirement. Did countless hours of reading and research, debated back and forth on spring/shock combos and coilovers. Ended up with coilovers, KW V2. Love them!

Danteneon Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Very good choice on the KWs. I had them on my ACR and they were amazing. Height looks perfect too. 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...
