5th Gen: What did you do to your 5th Gen today?

Put in my new radio, changed my oil and rotated my tires. I noticed my 1/4 panel rust accelerated to my rocker panels so I poked it and the entire piece fell off . It's a pretty bad eyesore but it's still getting me around lol.

I came across an old wire coat hanger. Hehe, yeah. :-p
This GAB is just too ghetto and I dont trust it. Definitely not posting a pic of this garbage(you've all seen it anyway)Considering the hole drilling method.
Ill the check the classifieds for an extra filter holder thingy. I know new ones are expensive. Im trying to keep a stock-like appearance, so a real intake is off the table...for now.

^nice, finally some pics. Ive been trying to finish cleaning and painting in engine bay, should have a pic or two of my own here soon..
I never understood the coat hanger thing, its not needed. GAB was one of the first things I tried...I have the airbox setup for GAB with full cutout in the filter holder. Looks and fits perfect with no coat hangers. Let me know if you want it fot a flawless GAB setup, and u keep your stock box intact.

Why are your fogs green? Pretty sure I know why, just want to hear it from you
Anyway the green fogs is not cool. The fitment of that 5.5 grill is horrible, should have kept your 5th gen grill. Besides that, love the car!
Lets keep it rollin shall we? Now that we got some pics up in here...
Chillin at the dealership this morning, doing some work and fun. Just washed and waxed after the rain ended:
Also cleaning up engine bay, repainting some things, experimenting with things..This is what it looks like currently:
Lets keep it going, put some pics up!

Also swapped the headlamps to start my first retrofit.

Busy Sunday.
Church
Washed the coilovers (tooth brush, rust spray, water & anti-seize)
Used gen 4 to get around town and it decided to say f8k you and I severely bruised my knee
Found the gen 5.5 KYB GR2/H-tech setup to be somewhat mushy
Cut grass then huge amounts of rain and wind came and the grass got all over the gen 5.5 ><

Anyone got a subaru? I inherited a really nice zero/sports racing development oil cap, and its $100 but I dont need it cuz it no fit in Max
Ok no more sales pitch. I ties my IAT sensor to the back of the battery tie down, right by the filter today. Yeeeeis I did this.

Cleaned my MAF with crc cleaner today then used Chemtool B12 into the TB as well. Watched a few rags turn black...as it dripped out.
Sputtered a little on first start...idled at 1.5k for a minute. Settled back to normal by itself in 2 mins.
As a result i feel like my throttle response is now as good as it can get. Gained some powahh maybe??

SES has been on for a while now, finally had it checked cuz the stalling is getting more frequent. Got the 0171 & 0174 codes. New MAF on the way hoping that's all it needs.
Also got a front set of KYB's from rockauto on closeout for $105. Got the rears on closeout a couple months ago for $75. Yoda gonna have a nice little project in the spring with all the parts I've been piling up

You got a great deal on the KYB's! Last November, I replaced my front OEM with KYB's and they ride very well - just like the OEMs did, if not better. You'll be happy.
