What did you do to your 4th gen. Legacy today? Vol - 10

I don't have any more quality ones. As soon as I get a hold of some others, I'll post them up.

 

Tehspud might have some.

I do I just haven’t gotten to editing any more yet. Soon.

I did the same corner on the same ABP color wagon this weekend, but the POR-15 wouldn't harden after a full day and I needed to get it done for this morning so now it's just etch primer, high build primer, paint and clear. There were 5 tiny pin pricks of rust that I couldn't grind out without going through and I don't have the skills (or tools) to do a cut out like you did. I'm hoping this gets me through the winter without any bubbling and then I can have a shop do the cut and weld next year.

Yeah, a thing I learned about POR-15 is that it takes a looooooooooong time to cure. When I was doing the inside, I came back every other day to put on coats. What are you using for paint? I have some 33A paint in spraycans that I used to color-match my grille. I'm sure it's a decent match for this paint color when it was fresh, but the sun exposure definitely makes a difference.

I couldn't get a can of 33A made up until this week so I used some off the shelf Dupli-color and 1K clear. I'm going to redo it this weekend with the 33A with 1K clear mixed in instead of separate 2K since the rust is coming through the panel and probably will bubble in the next 6 months regardless of what I do.

I had the paint mixed at a local supply shop and wet it looks pretty close, slightly darker, so we'll see how it looks when it's on and dry.

I have a carbon grill that I might spray with it as well, since the clear on it has failed. I'll have to sand that and see if I can get it smooth enough. Not looking good though as I think there are cracks through the resin all the way to the carbon.

Pull the intercooler and the pipe that goes to the throttle body. Get a long 1/4” extension with a ball end and a 12mm socket. Extension and socket go in the gap between the throttle body and the intake in the straightest line possible to reach the knock sensor bolt.. make sure you use a Subaru sensor, clean the surface and torque to spec.

 

I just had this problem……

I guess it was the throttle body that was in the way. I could only find one bolt on it but that did nothing. So I dropped it off at the shop today. 1.5 hours and done.

Guess I'll slide in a screenshot from Instagram of mine

Uhhh yeah... those are totally Enkeis on my car. *waves hand* Pay no attention to the center caps.

Max (LALGT) said the same thing. He was AMAZED that brake rotors were $13 for the Miata and that an entire engine and trans set up was under $700. He ended up with several Miatas as the LGT sat. AFAIK all the Miatas are gone now. But he LOVED racing them even if they were not as "Manly" as larger displacement vehicles.

You can drive the ever loving snot out of a Miata. A decent driver can take a much faster/more powerful car with a Miata on a big track. I used to joke with Max that he did not need an accelerator pedal, just a toggle switch.

Does he still have the Spider Pig?

I remember tele-coaching Max on how to improve his track times with Spiderpig. When I bot my miata, he poo-poo-ed the idea of it being better than the lgt.

A fast driver in a spec miata is usually the fastest car on the track. Especially at a hpde. 12 Porsche GT3 RS on track and 1 Miata. Only one car got black flagged. F'kers.

I have really been neglecting the car lately I'll probably post more on that later.

Picked up some replacement axles, whiteline swaybar bushings, and a new Grimspeed STI-Style Tmic Turbo Outlet Hose to pair with the blouch 2.5xtr w/10cm housing that I recently bought.

Maintenance stuff will happen this weekend or next.....but turbo upgrade will probably happen in early spring since I'm now on the fence on if I should get a header. Looking at killer B, 1320, tomel, or a custom one

liller B with swaintech coating is pretty much the apex system.

Reset CEL before going to autox tomorrow. Will take my code reader with me in case stoooopid P0442 decides to come on on the field.

On autox topic: huge thanks to whoever recommended Falken Azenis RT660 here few months back. I could not get them to chirp more then once and I did bring some good times. These tires are great!

video of runs?

sold the processwest intercooler destined for the race wagon. Enough procrastination, time for everything to find a new home.

My car went under the knife yesterday.

 

 

 

Sti rack and knuckle are in. Spec b front LCA are on. Rear spec b parts and new wheel bearings will be done today. Tires and alignment tomorrow morning. I’m pumped.

 

 

 

I outsourced this work to a shop for the first time in a long time and I’m happy I did. They had to fight some of the rear hardware, which was original and never touched I during my 12 years of ownership.

Waiting for a new lower bolt.. kinda snapped that in half, but specB fronts on today to match the rears I did earlier this week.

Edit: had to get the bolt from a dealership 50 miles south, but I have a friend who drives Uber… sooooo… [emoji51][emoji1787][emoji1787]

All in all, relatively painless. Feels tighter. Needs a touch-up on the alignment, then on to the next issue… this past Tuesday I welded the basketball-sized hole in the trunk shut with old computer cases for filler metal.

Need to figure out muffler mount for the right muffler since that rotted off… spark plugs… some other odds and ends.

Got one of these, too. Mines all busted up.

Got the car back yesterday. Took it for a good drive this morning. Something isn’t right. I get a pretty bad steering wheel shake when the suspension unloads after moderate acceleration. There is also an odd feeling when the steering rack transitions from side to side when the wheel is centered. Maybe some air trapped somewhere in PS system?

No vibration at all until it starts to shake. The car tracks straight.

Otherwise….WOW. The weight reduction was pretty significant at 6lbs per tire plus the aluminum bits and it is noticeable under all conditions. Acceleration, braking, handling, ride quality, and tire noise are all improved.
