Thought it would be fun to start a thread on everyday things we do here and there to our beloved Subarus. The weather is getting nicer, so I'm sure we will all be outside more tinkering on our cars.
(if this is a repost, please delete it)

Today has been a busy day for me! Got my Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 tires in yesterday from Tirerack for the Sti and had them mounted and balanced today by a real cool guy off of Nasioc. If anyone wants his info in the PNW PM me. He runs a legit business out of his home doing tire stuff n such, for a really good deal. But let me tell ya, these tires are STICKY!!! They pick up gravel everywhere but they are SOOOoo nice! It feels like a different car

When I got back from joyriding the STi in it's new tires, I washed the Forester (for the second time this week) and finally got around to hand waxing it. Looks pretty, but boy is there a lot of bumps and bruises on it!


What did you guys do to the subarus today?? :biggrin:

I got new wheels installed
http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/f104/omgzzzz-new-wheels-75344/
and bought wrx wagon suspension, to get rid of the wheel gap, which will be installed by next week hopefully :biggrin:
those rims look ill! I just did a wrx spring swap a few weeks back. it definitely made a difference
Haha thanks! And yeah, that's what I'm hoping for :biggrin:
1. Installed WRX pedals
2. Swapped out old, broken center a/c vents for new ones
3. Replaced washer fluid cap that was broken
4. Bought new suspension that should be going on sometime this week
5. Had convo. with mike (the guy i bought the suspension from) about subarus for a good amount of time


Oh and it rained on my clean car :mob:
Just installed my GroupN transmission mount. What a difference it makes! :banana:
Gave her that boxer rumble :biggrin:
STi exhaust & custom midpipe went on today

Went out to a dry lakebed just south of Vegas with a few friends
Right away one guy with a wrx wagon got stuck


So me and my friend had some fun while waiting for assistance



A 4Runner got there.... also go stuck....



Moar fun for us




Then a pickup came to the rescue.... and what do ya know, they got stuck too Lmao. Finally a member of the Flat4 crew with his beastly truck came out and saved the day!



It was a day to remember for sure lol
