Drove it home, and noticed that it seems to be "missing" when I get on it. A VERY irritating thing to have happen, especially after I just went through hell for the past 4 weeks with timing issues. If it's another timing issue, I may blow a gasket (in my head).

Dynamatted doors and installed new speakers

Yesterday I installed Polk Audio dB 651s in the front and rear doors. I also put Dynamat in the doors while I had the panels off. From what I've heard so far, it's a good improvement.

Oh man. You've been having some bad luck with the foz lately :( Did all of this start after that trip into the mudhole?

I had that happen once. An old buddy of mine left one in a cylinder when we were doing a head job on my sister in law's Dasher. They never did get married.

Full wash, wax and vacuum. Gotta love the shiny smooth goodness and clean wheels. Weathertechs are a godsend, keeping the floors mud and salt-free, minimal effort to clean. The moonroof is a PITA to get the 404 protectant around the entire window gasket.

Have to pick up some touch up paint.. Man, that paint is soft.

I should be buying stocks in simple green. Great stuff.

Going for my ABC maintenance, do they check the moonroof bits as well?

took the engine out, then striped it down to a short block to find out why it died on me.
found a 8mm socket in the drivers side head
Not the first time I have seen that but.. 8mm??? Not a lot of 8mm stuff on the 3 Forester I have or had.. 10mm I would understand..
There is nothing like the sick feeling you get when you finish a job and a tool is missing.. Pulled several engines back apart because of it..

Okay well this weekend.... I modified my mud flaps to fit the Foz, did an oil change, put the subie logo on my grill, swapped hood scoops, cleaned the inside, fixed the rear cup holders, glued down more floor paneling in the trunk, and then drove to Six Flags :)

took it on a 1600 mile road trip to Helen, GA for a VW show over the weekend.

coils appear to have settled nicely; now to finish dialing in ride height and double-check the alignment.
