Good day everyone :)
Hey all, new member here. Just bought my first SVX, and the way its looking a day later, definitely not my last :D :D :D
About me: 26, college student, auto mechanic by trade. New to the world of Subaru...not much else really. From Reading area, so the meets I see you guys hold are local to me (bonus ;) ) Now, on to the important info, about the car: Its a teal 92 LSL with 168k miles on it. Has a 4.44 tranny swap with the ECUTunes TCU (installed by svxfiles ~2 years ago) and 17" AT Italia wheels with 225/45-16 Bridgestone RE760 tires. Still have the stock 16" wheels, with plans to run Nokian WRG all weather tires (eventually), but currently running cheap all seasons to get me through the winter. Bone stock otherwise. Plans for mods include the stage 1 ECUTunes ECU (for 87 octane), HIR 9012 low beams and 9011 high beams, as well as a new Magnaflow muffler (broken baffle in the current muffler) and new struts (still on 20 year old factory struts :D :D ) Some of you may know this car as Paladinwkh's car :) Sadly Will had to part with it, and I am now the new owner :thumbsup: That about sums it up...Glad to be here, and I'm sure I'll have a lot of questions to ask in the next few weeks. Here's hoping to some of you guys at the Reading meet in the spring :) -XB |

Re: Good day everyone :)
Welcome -xb! You've come to the right place.
Keith, the bulbs referred to are HIR technology, a brighter and much longer lasting alternative to the 9005 swap. http://hirheadlights.com/index.htm Glenn |

Impressive getting 16" tires on 17" rims :lol:... All kidding aside, welcome to the forum...

Went and read it again and copied this... "Still have the stock 16" wheels, with plans to run Nokian WRG all weather tires (eventually), but currently running cheap all seasons to get me through the winter." Take care, Keith:cool: |

As soon as I joined the USAF, the first thing I learned was that they could make me get up early but they couldn't make me wake up early! :lol: Keith:cool: |

Thanks for pointing out my oops sicksubie :D Had a few cold ones in me when I posted ;) Glad to be here. And I love this car, 2 days into owning it :D Definitely will buy another one or fix this one if it dies in the distant future ;) As for the HIR bulbs, they are a halogen bulb that outputs 75% of the light output of an HID, with next to no increase in heat output over a stock halogen. Also a fraction of the price of (legal) HID "kits", so its a more viable option for me. I really don't feel like spending $2k or so on a proper, DOT legal Hella HID setup, then still having to build mounting brackets, etc to make them work ;) If anyone else is interested in maybe trying the HIR bulbs out, shoot me a PM. I'm a reseller for Hella and can give ya a price break :) I currently carry the Philips 9012 (low beam replacement) and the Toshiba 9011 bulbs (high beam replacement). Just a quick rundown of the HIR bulbs: Quote:
