Re: Project: AWD TURBO Family Hauler (04 Forester 2.5XT) - JustinG - 04-03-2013
Picked up the Cobb short ram and Intake Box off my friend, along with the AP V1.
No pics....its a 8in tube with a maf, and a filter, along with a box, its a pretty nice piece, but I don't see why folks pay $285 for this thing new. Glad I didn't
Looks like this though....

And on a side note, replace the hub on Casey's car, bad wheel bearing = Fixed as far as I can tell.

Grabbed a can of Duplicolor UG engine spray paint from Amazon. Gonna see how it turns out when the wheels arrive.

What wheels did you decide on?
Re: Project: AWD TURBO Family Hauler (04 Forester 2.5XT) - JustinG - 04-04-2013
the 5zigens

Might have lost what happened to your suspension choice, but swift makes fozzie specific pinks and its been a while since I read up, but remember lots of guys were taking those over sti.
And Jon, tell your b5 boy if he ever wants to sell the avus rims I'm on the lookout for some.

Going with the WRX struts and 05 STI springs.

Tires arrived Yesterday, grabbed the Hankook Ventus EVO V12 in 225/45/18.
Wheels will be arriving today, went with the 5Zigen GN+, they are 18x7.5. They are currently Bronze centers with a polished lip.
Holding off on trading in the V1 Accessport, since I snagged these Wheels/Tires.
I have 8 sets of lug nuts in my garage, all 12x1.5 like most all other cars on the face of the planet.
So a big FU goes out to SUBARU for having 12x1.25, and making me buy new tuner lug nuts for these wheels.
So Amazon got my business, spline drive lug nuts and some Hubcentric rings are OTW.
Should be throwing the springs/struts on this weekend and get an alignment.
Paint the wheels some shade of GOLD and get em mounted sometime next week.
Standby for pics!

Should consider Plastidip and hitting them with the Metalizer. Way more durable than paint and if you want to change the color you can just peel it off!

Yea I considered the palstidip + Metalizer, but no one has been able to replicate the shade of gold I am trying to acheive. They all turn out that bronze colored as you pictured. Some people recommend a base coat of yellow instead of black. But I cant find any pics posted of the outcome, and I really dont wanna be the guinea pig.
Re: Project: AWD TURBO Family Hauler (04 Forester 2.5XT) - WRXtranceformed - 04-05-2013
Did you see the make your own color kit? You could mess around with that.

I vote for the right/top, I think the warmer gold color will look better with the black paint, I think the other one might end up looking like a metallic yellow. Its really hard to tell from just a picture though, so I wouldn't weigh our opinions too heavily.

i knew a guy who once yellowed out a part of his car. It really stands out more than you think..right/top
