Took her in to Earl Duff Subaru for an oil change (a little early) and to have a bug deflector and my aluminum alloy accelerator pedal installed. Last time they put Castrol 5w30 in it. This time I'm having Subaru synthetic 5w30 put in it with Subaru filter and checking into that.

Sold the .45 and a red dot sight. Bought me 16x7 Sparco Assetto Garas in gold, a Camelia red pearl front under spoiler.

Heuberger really screwed me on the front under spoiler. I'm not getting it just yet. I ordered it. Got a confirmation for 306.77 shipped. They contacted me an hour later and said 140.00 additional to ship.

nice, are those grippies/nubbins on each pedal?

Yes sir. The brake pedal just slips on. Just like the regular brake pedal. The accelerator is all one assembly just like the original accelerator. Its held in by two bolts and then the drive by wire (i guess that's what you call it) sensor plugs into the top just like the stock (original) assembly. Dealer installed the pedals at no charge to me during oil change took him five minutes.

I put on the Roxblokz (sp) mud flaps, they went on in under a hour and I replaced all the hardware with stainless steel and painted it black to match the flaps. The wifey likes it so that all that matters.:mob:

Check all of the connections. Mine would randomly stop working. I'd heard the relay click but no beep. I disconnected everything, cleaned it, put anti corrosion on all of them and retaped them. Never happened again.

Just bought my 2009 two days ago and fixed some minor things on it (a salvaged car).

Bought the FSM on eBay for $5 in an awesome PDF format.

There was no bolts in the brackets holding in the A/C condenser forward and it moved around so I bought some SS ones at ACE Hardware.

The radiator also wasn't sitting quite right so I bent the upper brackets a little to make it sit better.

Now I am just missing the intake tube under that triangular piece that connects to the front of the car (bottom left corner). Is that tube the same on the X and the XT?

Subtle pieces arrive yesterday, still waiting to order OEM pieces and waiting for some other bits to arrive before I can start the 1st half of my interior swap/conversion.
