looked at it and shook my head
What did you do to your subie today?
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.

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:

Washed and waxed
what is this verb w-a-s-h you all speak of?washing
anything make enough of a difference on mpg factoring in cost/gallon to make a difference in your mind?I did some unscientific testing (simply comparing fuel economy running several tanks of different brands in a row), and Sunoco continuously presented itself as the absolute worst. Exxon showed to be the best but occasionally inconsistent. BP showed to be the most consistent, but with lower average economy than Exxon.
7-11 proved to be all over the place, so I think they just get their gas from the lowest bidder. Shell and Chevron turned up about the same results, both on par with BP.
yesterday: picked up 4 used 255/40/18 azeni's for $100. Sold 3 255/35/18 star specs for 210(minus 108 to ship). Net =$2 and 1 tire. Enough tread to get me through this year, and the extra sidewall should be nice
today: 320 grit sanding on bumper
