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 ran it out of gas.

Really. On the freagin' interstate. Hadn't done that in 20 years. Had to wait on roadside assistance to show up with gas.

rubbed protectant on recently installed passenger side mirror, on the black triangle part that attaches to the door/gusset. while waiting for my friend to show up with her dogs to go hiking... there's always something to do for the car. =)

Ordered new rims so i can swap out the factory 15's with the winter rubber. 17" XXR 522's they are on back order but that gives me a couple weeks to pick bottles so i can afford some rubber for them...hahaha

Inspired by this thread (which I only discovered this morning); I have washed our Forester for the first time in weeks, emptied the boot which was turning in to an extention to my shed and used an axe to remove the outer lining from the rear silencer!
She has not left our driveway today.

Congrats!

While I didnt do anything to my FXT, my STi just had a major suspension upgrade.

Spent the day at Turn In Concepts and had the following installed.

Tic SST coilovers
MSI trailing arms
Bushings: All of them on the back end.
DMS Motorsport camber plates

After a day of install and setup the car feels awesome! I think more of you guys need to get this setup.

Front camber -2.3 per side
toe 0
caster +6
Rear camber -2
toe 0

No more saggy butt!

So pretty...

Coilovers

Trailing arms by MSI
