EdipisReks1 Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 I'd be happy to take that for a spin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CD44hi Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Just realized the whole windshield stuff is pretty OT for this thread. Got the glass replaced and it indeed is pretty much a copy of the oem glass. Some of the mold ends are not completely down on the ends and I may need to take care of that, but I think that is mostly cosmetic as it is the outer mold.

Emooze Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 Offroading is a motorsport. Not a question, a statement. If you disagree with me, go look up "Dakar Support Truck" on youtube. Anyways, my Jeep, no dubbed Pokey after her last outing, is going up on blocks this weekend. 3" lift kit shows up on Monday and shortly after it is installed, 33" tires will be ordered. All for the absolutely beautiful offroading out here. New Mexico may fall short in some aspects, but not the view. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPI Posted March 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 Are you afraid to scare the jeeps off by getting too close to them with your camera? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emooze Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 I was more concerned that the fact that my ground clearance is more than the elevation change your car might see would scare you off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadhead Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 So I'm waiting to hear back from the insurance on my diminished value claim. The valuation came back at $2.7k but I doubt they will give me that. I'm hoping they give me enough to pay for some autocross upgrades. My dilemma is do I get the ridiculously light OZ Ultraleggera or do I get Moda MD22 and Koni adjustable dampers for the rear (not available for the front). The tires will be Bridgestone RE-71R which are the kings of Autocross. We settled for $1500 for the diminished value claim. I'm pleased and will likely roll that into the OZ Ultraleggera super light autocross wheels. Edit: it appears that Enkei has just released even superlighter wheels that are cheaper. 15.8 lbs. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadhead Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 I got my new adjustable struts installed. Was way more work than expected (was supposed to be drop in but actually required drilling) and the mechanic was super cool and let me help and undercharged me for his time. I look forward to figuring these out on the autocross course. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morphsci Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 Not up to the Head-Case level but did a test drive of a maxed out 2017 Subaru Impreza 5-door limited. Will probably be the replacement for our Outback in a few months. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdipisReks1 Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 I almost bought an Outback sport, a few years ago (we went with the Prius, which was less fun). I like Subarus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMoney Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 (edited) It might be a small victory, but I used some money from a work bonus to pay off the remainder of the loan balance due on my WRX today. I now own her free and clear. I am happy. Edited April 3, 2017 by TMoney 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMoney Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Actually I'm now basically 100% on track to become a first-time homeowner in the fall as long as I keep maintaining some semblance of financial discipline. It has been a very long road to this point but the end goal is finally in sight. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HemiSam Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 That is great news, TMoney! Best of luck on the home. They'll keep you up at night at times (my house is pretty old so it's a fair amount of work), but home ownership is a great thing. Well worth the effort and expense in my case.

HemiSam Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 There is just something bad ass about a fast wagon, especially one that's a stick car. I could do without the red mirrors and the symbol across the side as I prefer understated shock the hell out of the guy in the Corvette at the light factor HS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
