Got a full set of spats coming, as well as a set of silver side skirts (GX didn't get those lovely things), plus a whole new silver tailgate that isn't dented, complete with wing and legacy garnish...
So I'll fix the old garnish and sell it off when the busted one comes in and I've fixed it.
Other than that, I've discovered a leak in the trans cooler lines somewhere around the passenger wheel well area, trans slipped a bit this morning. Will find and properly clamp the line tomorrow. Hopefully it's an easy fix!
Cheers,
Ben
MY00 Red RX, a nice daily that was sold off once the B4 became reliable...
MY02 Blue B4, aka 'The Project' - v8 JDM STi engine package and assorted other 'goodies' - Sold, then bought back for parts. Stripped and crushed.
MY03 Blue RX, the newer old daily, pretty well more B4 than RX now... In the process of being converted to the track toy... Watch this space!
MY02 Silver Wagon, H6 conversion, full blue/black leather and almost full black interior to go with it.
MY03 White/Silver H6 Outback, donor car for silver waghoon.
MY97 Silver RX, acquired to become track car, but plans changed. To be stripped and scrapped in time.

But in other news, the 2 busted end plates on mine, another one of the gen3 lads has those particular two as good spares. So they'll be in the post soon. No need for new rails when the busted parts can be replaced!

Black dash plastics will probably be here on Tuesday, and the slim roof rails from Russia will be refunded as Australia won't accept incoming goods from Russia.

Just had the milwaukee polisher show up late last week, so when I get a spare bit of time to order the right compounds, I'll get it done. Pics will be posted. At the moment it's painted, but it needs a good cut and polish before it goes on the car.

While playing under the dash with the heater, pulled the stock head unit out and replaced with the Alpine unit. Much nicer. Just need to fool the unit into thinking the hand brake is on so I can use the Bluetooth on it. Have pics, but car is filthy, so once I tidy it a little and finish with the wiring behind the dash I'll post some up.

Black dash plastics make it look noice. Pics coming once I get everything on. S401 front strut brace rocked up today, so that'll get a bit of a refurb before it goes on as well.
Seriously getting over the auto, and all I need to really get something moving on the manual front is an R160 diff in 3.545 ratio to suit a WRX 5spd. The B4 5spd and matching diff in 4.11 will stay with the track car, mainly cos the H6 with the Prova exhaust is loud and droney as all hell at 3k, but it's not too bad otherwise. So if anyone knows of or has a rear diff in this ratio for sale, please let me know.
But anyways, photos coming in a month or 2 once all the nice new bits are on. I haven't had a chance to polish the front bar at all, Sebastian is taking up most of my spare time at the moment, and any weekend where I might have half a chance I take the opportunity to go and get wood for the fire. Happy wife happy life lol!
Cheers,
Ben

My brother stumbled across a Stihl 076AV Super. 110cc, buckets of torque, that thing is mint! Dads got a Stihl 039 and I recently picked up a tiny Stihl 012av partly for shits and giggles. That’s still 45cc in a tiny package - I’m yet to sharpen the chain and get stuck right into that one too. I love the older Stihls as that’s what I grew up with (032av). I haven’t really tried other brands other than a really cheap and nasty saw…
Trim bits for the Subi sound good.

No hearing protection required.
A hell of a lot lighter and easier to wield.
Thinner bar seems to go through most timber like butter compared to the heavier, thicker bars of its petrol cousins.
And a hell of a lot cheaper than a decent petrol one.
Current unit is one the Milwaukee M18 chainsaw with the 16" bar. Goes through most things without issue. However, it doesn't like the small 5Ah batteries. Overheats them too quickly to be any use. So I have 3x 12Ah ones. Need to get another one or 2 to get proper full loads. I can get about a metre and a half worth of timber in about an hour and a half of cutting, using the 3 batteries. Saw cost me the grand total of about 570 bucks, so it's a lot cheaper.
As good as the battery one is, I think I might just lash out once tax rolls round next year on a decent 20" bar petrol saw, as the bigger bar and power makes life a lot easier on some of the bigger lumps.
But anyways, hope everyone is well!

Ben

Haha, coming! Scoop was sent via Japanese EMS, so will probably have that in a week.
Once I get my collection of goodies in a week or so from Sydney and I spend a weekend in the shed, I'll post up a decent update. Currently scheduled for next weekend.

Otis came down last week with some more bits, and cleared some of my shelves in the shed of gen2 parts, so now I have room to put more gen3 stuff there. Shed is still a brothel unfortunately. But with Otis' help I identified and fixed the leaking auto trans cooler line, which is good. One less thing that needs to be fixed...
Besides this, everything is going as it should be...
