passed the 100,000 mile mark in my car this morning, almost 10 years to the day since it put up its first mile!
 
went to change a fog light bulb on the legacy, both bolts snapped :doh: tried drilling the bolts out, broke a couple of bits!! must head out and get a couple of self tappers, talk about making a simple job hard!!!!
 
Had the day off work today and i got bored so i did some work on the car,



1st off i did the brakes, im just going to do a slide show of pics so here goes

now any other car i did brakes on it was just a matter of giving the disc a slap of a hammer and off it comes....... but not with these it was like they where welded on, so i used a bolt from my rad bracket and sent it on in to push the disc off

Removed the turbo to drill out and re tap one of the downpipe studs that broke off last feb.Noticed only 2 nuts holding on turbo instead of 3 and
1 nut missing off up pipe bracket and clamp holding intake hose to turbo was loose.Refit everything nuts and bolts and fitted new toyosport bellmouth
dp and put the nurspec r back on after 4 months hanging on the wall.Dont know is the dp ment for newage as it seems to be about 3-4" longer than it
should be and the ba*tard hole for the lambda is in the 10 o clock position on top of the pipe and cant be fitted with the master cylinder?????
O well tomorrow is another day :subaru:
