Checked all fluid levels.
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:

Wow, this thread is moving!
1. Drove my 120mi round trip to work (generally cruising at 80mph).
2. New engine air filter.
3. Topped off gas and added Lucas fuel/injector treatment.
4. Purchased some pretty decent polish/wax which I hope to use on it sometime in the near future!
5. Uh...carried a wheelbarrow, rake, two water hoses and bunches of sprinklers home. Does that count?

Came home at lunch and picked it up, drove back to school, brought my sis home, went to the gym, picked up my mom, came home and did this!
really!...I'm seeing subliminal mssgs everywhere... lol! Must cook bacon
^^ Bacon.
As for what I did to my Subie today, I parked it in the garage, awaiting to be torn down to find out why I'm getting a freaking P0011 and P0021 code (over-advanced intake timing on both banks). Time to check the timing which is a PITA if you ask me.

Some vacuumcleaning was needed....
finally received my 60mm sti genome water temp gauge after waiting 41 days from japanparts, now i have all four
Well.... After putting another 150 miles on it today I:
1. Got my newly aquired Yokohama tires and 5 spoke wheels balanced.
2. Changed the oil and filter, right on time at 3,000 miles.
3. Installed my new tires and wheels. Man it looks good.
4. Checked all the fluids.
5. Looked for any leaks, none. At 224,363 miles that's not bad.
6. Looked at the 2001 instrument cluster sitting on my work bench. Gotta get to work sorting out the wiring so I can install that.
Whew.... I guess that's enough for today.

received a box with all the parts for my HID retrofit
It was sunny and almost warm, so my 3-1/2 yr old son and I got a big bucket of warm soapy water with a big honking sponge & garden hose and washed down the Foz old skool style.
Went to the dealer for some touch up paint and hit my 1st 1000km mark.
And replaced a light bulb.... kinda lousy job:icon_frown:
