Do you still have the original airbox setup? I don't mind some mud in the engine bay but it all depends on your setup.

That road looks like a lot of fun. & i really love that nice red colour scheme

Yeah it's still original, any tips on modifying it for novices or a better location for it to sit to avoid getting water in it?

That's looking great wombataaron!!

Heres what i did with my intake.

Made a new one out of 3" PVC pipe and directed it to the wheel well. Makes me feel safer not having the intake on the front when going through water.

Cheers,
Paul

Thanks Aaron, I do enjoy my tinkering and I'm just glad you like them! First Outback kit I have done so as long as there aren't any silly errors with the dimensions I'll just be stoked to know that they fit and correct the camber properly.
Let me know how the alignment goes when you have it fitted.
Cheers.

Haha hopefully they do:p

Just white lettered my tyres, took about an hour and come up looking nice.

I used this paint marker, its water resistant and doesnt fade, works a treat.

Wow that did come up nice...almost too nice to take through mud haha

Lift kit looks very good but...

You painted it black! You could've gone red or yellow or left it silver

When i do mine i might paint it red to make it go faster

I'd paint them black too, I'll be painting mine black when I can - harder to find by a nosy police officer

Not that a 2 inch should be an issue!

Cheers

Lift kit is done, except the rear springs were the wrong ones so they will need to be installed later on, heres some before and after pics:

After:

Looking good!
Glad there were no problems with the kit. Nice leggy girl you have there!

NachaLuva · Post by **NachaLuva** » Tue Dec 20, 2011 8:40 pm

Woohoo, looks good. Bit annoying bout the rear springs though. I hope they're not gonna charge you for removing the struts a second time just cos they ordered the wrong springs. Not sure how they could do that anyway...

At least you have the kit in now & the fronts finished. Cant wait to hear how it feels.

I ordered them from Repco myself, i assumed my car didn't have self levellers, guess i was wrong, hopefully they exchange them for me today-.-

looking good! Are you using body spacers too or just the strut tops?

Nice!!! So at the moment its 3" in the front and 2" in the rear?

Are you sure you got raised Kings, because that only looks like 2" in the front to me, but the tyres are pretty big

How much cleanance do you have under your front sump??? 300mm?

wombataaron · Post by **wombataaron** » Wed Dec 21, 2011 10:03 am

Yep they are deffinately raised you can tell in person the front is sitting higher, repco are gonna exchange the springs but king springs are closed til the 3rd of january ao ive gotta wait a while:(
