Subaru build means Subaru dollars. With extra Winter is Coming John Snow

Sep 27, 2013 18:44

Yeah not been driving the Leon III due to lovely CA emissions stuff.  But what I have done is amassed a great whopping bill...

Title, emissions bla bla bla DMV is now at 400 bucks.

Struts, Front 4X plate 75 bucks  (I shopped smartly.. they were gonna be 130!)
Clutch                        151
Adaptor plate             209
Seats                         206  (I got a screaming deal. sucks the red stitching, but hey black stitching was 150 bucks more!)
Engine w/ ecu harness  800  (Value.. only 5 hours labour :)
Tools misc wire for the welder 150
Tail Light 18 ---  YAY for New Old Stock!

--That comes to 2009

Stuff to get before the snow.
Tires 195/70 14 Snows  Found nice ones in a Firestone  300 for the set Figure balance 40 (I can mount myself)
Front end and back end stuff 200 (bushings, ball joints, bearings, rear struts)
Carpet 250 (with insulation and dyna mat)

---- That comes to 800 more to go for a ready for winter turn key.   Call it 1000 after who knows what.

So call it 3000 for a winter car, and still 1000 in lift and tires to come.  This thing is going to have to last at least 7 years with minimal shit to get it's return.  And at LEAST 200K.

Now the.. why no lift and 27's right now.   Well winter is coming John Snow.  It needs to be done quick, and I dun wana muck about with the extra say 700 in cash right now.   NOT TO MENTION since I will be doing the big lift AFTER the snow.. The tires I will get here soon will go on the Burgundy to get burned off (It is going to need new boots in 7 months or so).   So NOT going to waste there.  Makes sense right, since I dun have the cash to do the lift and big tires.  No lift and small tires that can be used on another car.. just until I get more bucks up.  See smart right?

So boaters know 1 boat buck is 1000 normal dollars.
Car restorers know 1 car buck is 500 dollars (for non exotics)

I seem to be doing really well for what I am going to have into it.  It will be a moderate/heavy snow/offroad ready car,  over powered hopefully comfortable.  That will be SORTED hear me SORTED.  That is fresh engine fully serviced, with a new clutch.  All new rubber, all new suspension and brakes.

So mechanically ready to rock and roll and pull 1000 mile stints.  For 3K.. well ya cant really buy that off the shelf can ya.  Guess I am doing ok, but I need more parts and money.  Wana donate ...please!  Find me.  Message me something!  Alms for the subaru.. alms for the subaru.

Oh a Duel Range box would be just lovely with the drive line and the linkage.  Find it send it to me.. need more parts.

subaru, leone iii, car
