Intake silencer removed!! i did the mod a couple days ago, following Jedi's thread...
![]() ![]() Do any of you guys have suggestions of where I could find cheap headlamp housings? My plan is to practice clearing them on my old lamps and if all goes well Ill rpt the process on the new ones. As far as bulbs go ill order a set of clear which flash amber for the blinkers and a good set of headlites. I also have to replace the fog bulbs, since those dont work. Hopefully if i can find some cheap headlite housings all this will get done within a couple weeks, given i gotta wait for the shipping. |

^ Damaged second-hand units would be the way to go. Post-up a WTB on .com, and ask for ones which have been damaged, but still have the lens-to-body seal mostly intact, saying specifically that it is your wish to practice pulling the unit apart.
But honestly, if you have some Scooby enthusiasts near you, have anyone who's pulled apart the headlamps come teach you - it's easy to do, and nearly fool-proof. ![]()

hey guys new post.....this one with some bad news.
the other night my friend and i were driving home on an exit ramp from one highway to another when a deer ran across trhe rd (right to left). regrettably, instead of hitting bambi, i swerved to miss it and couldnt get back into the lane before hitting a guard rail hard (passenger side). i had so much momentum comming out of it that i scratched the driver side of my subie. definately should have hit the deer, as insurance would consider the claim under comprehensive instead of collision. ![]() my advice to you guys is if put in a similiar situation, take the deer our like its your girl on a friday night ![]() ![]() |

Yikes!
Glad you and your passenger were both OK! As for hitting the deer, I don't know - that's a lot of mass, and front-on, who knows what kind of havoc that could've caused, including potential cabin intrusion.

Hey guys, just a quick update. My car was deemed totaled by insurance with options to recieve $9,600 and give up the GT or pay $700 Salvage value and receive both the car and $8,900. I chose to take the 8900 and the car. Now my car in its current condition (pics above) is sitting in my driveway.
I do plan on reviving the GT (mabye with a few aftermarket goodies ![]() I would however like to start piecing together the GT and get it back on the road sooner rather than later. First off, Id have to tackle the front right quarter. Hopefully the support bar (idk exactly what its called) running from the passenger headlight to the rear view mirror can be bent back into place rather than replacing it. If i do end up needing to replace it, do any of you vets know where i might be able to find a right front quarter...which would include inner metal (support bar/skelton), headlight, inner fender wall, fender, radiator and other miscelaneous. Ill be looking at junkyards and other various places, but if you all know of anything else pls let me kno (links would be great). Thanks again, and any suggestions or advice from you who have been through this before it would be greatly appreciated. THis whole situation rly sucks for me, but instead of saying FML ![]() ![]() |

It would cost more money than it would be worth once you were done. It's worth far more than $700 in parts if you can store it well and sell a piece at a time on ebay/craigslist/lgt.com
The wheels alone (if they're all still good) are worth a few hundred on Nasioc. The WRX kids love our wheels...older Legacy guys too. |
