Here she was stock in late 2013 75K miles. My 05 Subaru outback XT turbo. Just installed the legacy / STI gauge pack at this point
Did a TON of work and maintenance. Timing belt / wp / oil pump to STI pump, Oil control valves, Valve cover gaskets, all fluids, injectors serviced / k&n / radiator (my fault / broke the old)
Next up...
Installed a F1 mods / transgo shift kit. WOW what a difference! Shifts HARD now / knocks you in the seat big time between gears. Otherwise under normal use just feels firm
Then... Found a donor car and removed the terrible ivory carpet and replaced with black
Updated to late model tails (from an 08 I think) with clear blinker lights vs stock orange
Suspension goodies from Primitive racing installed!
- 3/4" lift with rear king springs (no more sag and for towing) Actual lift ended up a little over 1.5" with the addition of new / larger tires
- New KYB's
- Diff skid plate and front skid plate installed
WRX rims with toyo ATII tires
Lots more clearance now. Car visually has more clearance than a stock cherokee 4x4 at my office lol. Hard to tell from the pics but driving behind it on the freeway, you see a lot of daylight!
Lots of other things done to the car. This is the next upgrade. Doing a billet wheeled Kamak 18G turbo tuned to a lower boost level / about 14psi for reliability
Roof rack to be installed soon along with some other goodies. Anyways that is my "other" car and my main daily driver.
