Looking great

Here's a quick video of the Subaru accelerating.
Since it's an auto I have to hold my brakes while building rpm to get a decent launch. you'll notice I do that here. I've got a set of equal length headers coming next week and I'm having the Catylitic converter taken out tomorrow for faster spool times and better mid range torque. The header will give me an extra 30 ft/lbs of torque across the rpm range. Then I can finish the tune and after that go E85. She should be downright dangerous after that!

Keep an eye on when the speedometer starts to move and when it gets to 60. (I stop the video at 80 so pay attention to the 60 time) It's between 14 and 18 seconds in the video.

Heres what my subaru wheels came out like using plastidip and then the gold metalizer for a bronzing effect.

Tbe full set of pics:

Black on left, first coat gold tint on right.




First coat of gold:



As gold as I wanted them. You can make them very bright gold if desired.





On the car:













In sunlight they appear much brighter.

As suggested I painted the pinch welds and up with plasti dip. Looks better.

Awesome. Need some pics!

Also, Corey put grip tape on the top side of the rocker. It covers up the holes and provides a good traction surface.

Here's a somewhat dim picture of it. You can see where the bottom pinchweld area is black. I didn't want to do the rounded bit cause I think it would come off with people getting in and out. The grip tape is a good idea for it though.

Thanks. Im going to try offroading the subaru a bit while im in georgia and see how well it actually does. Ill try and get some video of it and post it up. Im curious to see it climb some slippery hills in the woods. Should be fun.
