Impreza

Love you car man. Makes me wish I had the cash laying around to put a swap in my Lagacy... 173hp and 3700lbs is agony!
 
Look good man! PM me if you want the detail done.

He doesn't want your crap details gtfo.

If you want a detail done PM me and I'll put you into contact with the guy who fixes CobrAAA's mistakes (as seem in the detailing section). He's also a Subaru guy

The Plastic Part under the front window was cracked and fading, so I got a new one:

Looked like a quality product but the fans didn't match up, so I had to ziptie and work around that.

Was Huge, thank god swapshop took out the A/C

Then I took out the carpet, I bought a new one from Zealous Interiors.

Found Cancer as expected.

Grinned it down and primed it. Used a total of 3 cans for primer

Then 2 cans of paint (4 coats) and 2 coats of clear to protect from salt.

Painted the interior with Plastic Paint after light sanding

The Quality of the Carpet is very very good. I like the product, looks like it's built to last. Now I need mats.



Then the oddest thing happened. We burped the radiator, Made sure no air was in the system and the car still overheated (went a bit over the center line). It seemed to dump all the rad fluid into the overflow tank.

This morning we went to Canadian Tire and got a new thermostat. Tested it to make sure it wasn't DOA and put it on. Result? Nothing more of the same.

Yes, I emptied out the rad twice. Once to check the Termostat and another time to flush it and make sure nothing was in the lines. Yet the car still pushed all the fluid into the overflow tank. We decided to check if the fans were working. The passenger one wasn't (it turns on for 10 secs and turns off). The driver one works normally.

I called swapshop and the motor being under warranty they asked me to ship the car over, so tomorrow morning I'm going to tow it with CAA.

I think it might be the head gaskets, but there are no symptoms of gasket failure. No white smoke, no milky stuff on the oil dipstick...
 
^I think it would be strange for the motor to be at fault since it was fine before you swapped out the rad and now it is acting up with the new one... But again you will know once it's in there, they do quality work.

How's the paint holding up? I am trying to get opinions from people who have gone with the route of repainting the entire car for 3000-5000$ and seeing how good the results can get...
