2006 Outback 3.0R 180kw VDC project

so new car , new project m new plans for it , and gathering new info what could be done witt it and choosing what fits me

what i bought

how it looked in my yard next day

changing inside and some outside bulbs to led's

examples for myself how lift would look with my rims and how bumper cut would look

so normal steps for me do lift at least as much as in that pic, and then maybe cut bumper

car how its sits now, how +5cm would look and then +7cm wheel is in the air
would need bigger tires for better look there.

checked front arches for rust and how it looks, and put some bitumen spray over there , and then put back that plastic cover back

front grill plasti dipped to black

how it looks in dark with some lights

Funny old thing, the weather.

Well couple days ago we where in shorts and having sunbaths, and this morning i was cleaning layer snow from car. This is not normal here , but last years its changed more , this is more snow then we had all winter. So it says a lot.
Just couple days ago i was in car on sun and it showed like 22 celcious , i thought its too much but its better then cold sure.
Day before

 

[Kevin]

Very pretty!

 

[ABFoz]

Your plants are happy. Here it's also starting to get cold so my plants are starting to brace up for it.

 

[Ben Up North]

Nice Poppies!

 

[scalman]

That one door that changes color, went more to champagne style

 

[Kevin]

The tailgate looks the same colour too

 

[scalman]

those are what they make oil from that rapeseed oil

 

[Ben Up North]

Put several hundred (thousands?) hectares of that in on the floodplains of the Darling back in 1983. Sowing it in at night was like driving on the moon...
And then it flooded again just before it was ready to crop.
It's called Canola here now.

 

[scalman]

the time is come..never thought its possible. but there it is . not best shot but it will do. hehe

 

[Kevin]

Yes, that was a test ;-) You will see more eventually

 

[scalman]

went fast to shop , came back, didint saw front tire, started driving empty tire. plugged it aired it , good that i had plugs and good air compressor that can put air to empty tire even when car not lifted with all weight pressing on tire. because its late i cant go nowhere today to fix tire so i did pluged it and tomorrow i will go look to proper seal that. if its possible to do anything more there.
and in abour 15 min that car was standing there there they are steering leak and radiator leak . and weird thing those happen just randomly. i was keeping close look at levels for all week and wteering was kinda not leaking and now boom in one go it leaked just like this. and radiator random too.

 

[scalman]

Yh leaks kinda follow me from car to car damn. Bad luck maybe. Duno. But why steering rack leak not sure.

 

[ABFoz]

It will be fine, @scalman. I always tell my brothers that when they buy a 2nd hand vehicle, they must always make sure that they spend around 6 months just to get acquainted with the car, including maintenance and everything, until it reaches that well-maintained condition. You will eventually get there. At least, your issues are mechanical and not body-related, like the old BH. Cheers.

Changed spark plugs. With right tools its not harder then on 2.5 engine just needed to be done from underneath which was easy with lift. I had bosch R6 plugs. Not sure are they good or not but iridium as well.

And you need only those tools and nothing else.

 

[scalman]

still getting cylinder 2 missfire error code , and with that engine started work weird again like 1 cylinder would not work or something so, if not spark plug then ignition coil fault again. i changed that coil before to used one and it worked ok for some time. so hmmm need to change that coil again now ? what else can do missfire , must be something there wrong. wonder maybe i could change coils places and then see which one would make error.

 

[Kevin]

maybe i could change coils places and then see which one would make error.

Good idea

 

[scalman]

Changed that cyl 2 ignition coil to another used one and just from changing errrors gone when i started car, all working good smooth but when started driving error pops ups again and same 2 cyl error that was before. So drove some and error was going on when i accelerated more and then going away when i dropped gas, drove about 100km now and it doesnt feel right still accelerating not good but error just pops up sometimes amd going away. But its not that bad as was yesterday. I dont get it.
Was doing some forest track drivng and needed to reverse a bit up hill and it couldnt reverse just was whining on low revs and doing nothing. Car couldnt move reverse on normal forest road , really! rly im so tired of this stupid electronics decisions to not let me go in reverse for some reasons. Still bad ignition somewhere or whats going on with it. Damn. Now it drives worse i think then my previous 2.5 vdc drove. At least reverse it tried to go . Its no point to put any tires on it if it cant drive at all in bush. I mean i was allmost stuck there just because it couldnt move reverse. Was like really! moment there. So dissapointed.
Before i changed today that ignition coil it felt like it was driving on 5 cylinders only. Now it feels like all working but not smooth or something going on with fuel mix still.
