I tear the driveline out of a car and no one cars. I post a cat and that's all people see.
I should paint some rims and put some hella horns on my car then everyone would go bananas....
I don't think you'd want that. I would burry your pictures with pictures of the fast ornery maine coon cat.

Should have clarified, "how about dueling cat photos" ok?
Ah hates actual cat fights, the noises are nassty and it's hard on their ears.

YARRR SUBY MONSTER!!
It is ubuntu, but all gnome 3? installations look more or less the same. They took a decent window manager and made it suck. It's been out for, maybe 2 years now?
The build thread for that old RX is pretty awesome.
I've since run that laptop over on purpose because it sucked.

Subframe day.
I didn't need the whole rear subframe, just the center section. 4 of the 6 bolts come out easy, but the rear toe adjustment bolts go through a metal sleve. After 200k miles they are seized together.

that poor subframe, poor Dan. disassembling bits like that can lead to some super serious cussing sessions.
I was puliing rear subframe out of my old rally car, and 2 of the 4 captive nuts in the body came loose. Had to cut holes in trunk floor and do all sorts of shenanigans to get it apart and back together again.
probly sounded like a pirate convention in my garage that day!

I'm not too worried about the body bolts. I've undone most of them, and most of the junkyard cars have worked out as well.
If they pop I'll cut into the shell to find them and weld them back down. Going to get this car 100% cleaned up for winter so I don't have to worry about messing with it while I'm building for NEFR in the spring.

This weekend was nuts.
Started off Saturday with a road trip.
We get to the dealer to take a look at some things.
wat
As much as I wanted to buy that, we left with this:
Time to get to work.
New frame covered in POR.
Old frozen toe adjustment bolt cut off with a sawzall.
Subaru designed the rear bushing to have a LOVING metal sleeve in the middle that seizes to the bolt going through it. It was impossible to adjust the rear toe. My frame was rotten so I might as well fix them both.
Yeah.... It was still solid, hit it with a hammer and tried to bend the arm, but one side had that huge hole.
After poking at it:
Old subframe out.
But not without issue.
ONE OF THESE THINGS IS NOT LIKE THE OTHER
Yeah, that bolt is broken off in the unibody.
Old diff bushings.
Ran out of black spraypaint. Easy removable parts I just spray paint. Big stuff I chassis save / POR. So "dont give a fudge edition blue" to the rescue:
So subaru is awesome at making their bushings.
At some point dad's friend shows up with his beater L.
Thing was a piiiillleee. Torn boot throwing grease everywhere. Leaking oil pan. trans running in FWD mode. Corded tires. Dead brakes. Dad did a full brake job while I plugged along on the legacy. He's getting new rear calipers and new tires soon. BUT, dad got a text. Car died at a gas station 3 miles from home. Turns over, sputters, wont restart. Not sure wtf, but not my mess.
I kept working and pressed new bushings into the old legacy arms:
The old bushings have an outer metal ring. I took the sawzall and cut through it to relieve the tension, then air hammered them out. Had to do it on the RS, so I knew what I was doing.
Art:
Diff draining and cleaned up brackets back on.
Sex:
More sex:
And back to this issue, which destroyed all progress.
Dad went hard with the oxy ace and drill bits.
The hole goes all the way through again, you can see some of the threads. I need to pick up a new bolt and a tap this week.
Had to drive the RS back to my apartment. With no radio.
GOOD TIMES.

Did things tonight:
Almost:
RANDOM BLUE raisin:
The heat shield broke off when I put the exhaust back on. So I grabbed a washer and booger welded that grandma on with no gas.
DONE
Drives better than it did before. Just said fudge it and zero'd it out. Need to get it on the rack next week.
