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:

It looked like a sunny dry day, so I ran errands in the Forester today. You guessed it, I ran into a major downpour, so now I need to wash the Forester again.

I cleaned my ride....sort of.

I left the XT outside overnight since it was raining hard and I do not feel like washing it when it is in the 40s outside!

MB Quart component speakers installed yesterday. Makes me want to throw some midbass in the rear doors and a 10" sub in the back. Going to make a fiberglass enclosure to hopefully conserve as much space as possible. No telling when that will happen...but it is now on the list. Rear sway bars are waiting the STi mounts, then it's ready to go on!

Switched back to my 94 octane setup for the summer... too bad they're going to try and close all the local Sunoco stations on me :frown:

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.

anything make enough of a difference on mpg factoring in cost/gallon to make a difference in your mind?
