A bunch of new stock for the farmette: These two Polish rabbits for my son to do 4H projects   These fancy schmancy birds to breed with our Rhode Island Red rooster (they were babies when we got them)      Rooster for reference  More rabbits for breeding and food. There are four of them but they're all basically identical devil rabbits.  This blue car to replace this red car   These wheels and tires to go on this black car

Replaced the weather-checked and feathered front tire on my Suzuki DR350. Feels nice to not worry about when it's going to let go, and to not have the 35mph vibration.

It’s pretty much done at this point, just needs a radio installed and we might throw on some fender flares we have laying around, but I am not loving the idea of drilling into the rust-free body to install them. We bought the car for $800 and we’ve done front brakes/calipers, Racing Beat/Holley intake, electric fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, Racing Beat exhaust, new hatch struts, new wheels and tires, new wiper arms, and some other odds and ends.

Haha thanks for all the support, everyone. My parents were cool but not into cars or music so I learned it all on my own. When my older son showed interest in all the things I’m interested in, I knew I had to jump on it and encourage. It’s nice not being completely destitute anymore like we were right before he was born so I am enjoying letting him do the things he loves. He has helped me on a bunch of my project cars, and learned to drive stick when he was 9 because he was so into cars. My wife is also super supportive and encouraging of everything we do, which is a big help.

Clutch, flywheel and calipers and Hawk rotors and Hawk HPS pads and tires on my ‘05 Forester XT, as well as having the factory wheels powder coated. It has 222k miles on the clock and is still awesome.    Traded a set of wheels I had sitting around for this. ‘74 Yamaha DT175. Needs a little bit of love but another project.

OniPanda posted:I'm really pissed they don't make the Forester XT anymore. I want a WRX cause fun to drive, but I also really want something with some carrying capacity. Forester XT is like the good middle ground, but they stopped producing it. I'm half tempted to get a newer Forester, say gently caress the warrant, and drop a turbo in it. We specifically wanted a manual XT so we had to have the 04-08 date range, which actually works out nicely because instead of an SUV it’s more like a tall wagon. You could get the XT until last year though with a CVT, so you should be able to find a gently used one? colas posted:You can't get a wrx wagon? Not new you can’t. In the US the WRX is only a sedan. Overseas there is a Levorg which is basically a WRX wagon, but we don’t get it here.

Wowporn posted:Can't you get a wagon and/or hatchback version of the legacy that's a little closer to the wrx? I'm also glad I have a mid 2000's version of the outback so it is still wagon shaped and not the bulky crossover it turned into this decade. It's not important at all but I love that the windows don't have any border so the pillars stay smaller, which they got rid of on the newer ones The turbo outbacks have gone the way of the dodo as well.

Grumbletron 4000 posted:Might have been clickbait but I remember reading something about Subaru claiming that "People are buying the hell out of the NA ones so we aren't gonna bother with another turbo Forester". drat shame too cause there aren't many cars with the fun to practical ratio of an XT. When I was looking for an old school Forester XT with a manual I discovered that they're as rare as unicorn tears. Low mileage ones were unreasonable. I settled on a NA Legacy because I found one in super nice shape with low miles for a decent price. drat thing is painfully slow though. I have an 05 FXT in manual and I refuse to get rid of it despite the alarmingly high number of miles it now has. It’s been meticulously maintained and is in excellent condition, despite putting a few go-fast, sound-good bits on it. I’ve also replaced a fair few regular maintenance items over the past 18 months or so: timing belt, water pump, spark plugs, clutch and flywheel, oil control valves and AVCS cam sensor, disintegrating intercooler and turbo hoses, etc. i replaced the turbo with a brand new OEM Subaru unit I got from a friend for like $50 and also put a catless up-pipe on to prevent the first catalyst from throwing debris into the turbo. The turbo I pulled off the car had 215k miles on it and is in perfect condition, still sitting on my workbench. It’s a near-perfect combination of fast and practical while still flying under the radar for 99% of the general populace. Despite all the work I’ve done to it recently it’s never been unreliable or left me stranded. I’ve done almost all those repairs proactively.

LifeSunDeath posted:just watched a vid of this thing pulling on the highway, goddamn, looks like a lotta fun. For whatever it’s worth, when they were new they were faster than a regular WRX and almost as quick as an STi despite being rated at 17hp less than the WRX and 90hp less than the STi. The Forester has 4.44 final drive which makes it accelerate way harder than a tall wagon has any right to. It’s hilarious fun. The only thing I wish mine had is the beefier STi 6-speed transmission, but overall I like it more than the 05 STi I had a few years ago; better ride quality, less punishing on poor quality roads, and way more utility with the hatch. I had another FXT recently that was actually faster than this one but I sold it because it was automatic, and kept the manual one because I know I’ll never find another one that isn’t trashed for a reasonable sum of money. I don’t drive it that often anymore so it sits in the garage mostly, but every time I take it anywhere I am smiling the entire time.
