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:

Did a major tune up on mine. All fluids got changed plugs wires fuel filter. This car is so easy to work on. Beats the crap out of all the new tight engine bays(wife's pacifica). Also detailed inside and out. It was a good day.

As a New Zealand resident, I can confirm everything is upside down here.

Not a word of a lie. Blood rush to head kills more people than any other cause. And we like our booze XD

F'n Drop Bears almost got my wife back in '04. Went to visit her exchange student friend and almost didn't return.

Woohoo! Just filled taxes and I'm getting a whopping $15 back! BIG MOD TIME BABY!!!!!

(-_-)"

:lol:

In all seriousness though, I just got the Fozzy back so the STi is going back into storage and a whole pile of parts I've been collecting (some for over a year now) are finally going to get installed. I plan on taking a 3-day, possibly 4-day, weekend and see if I can wrap it all up in one shot.

We'll see what happens.

Let the wife take it to work today because she left the map light on in her Legacy all day yesterday and last night.:icon_frown:

There's still a big chunk of the bumper of my '02 sitting at the end of the exit ramp where I had my accident. I want to get out and grab it but that stretch of road is so busy I'd probably get hit by a dozen cars before anyone noticed.

I don't have my FXT yet (picking it up in Pennsylvania this Friday), but I just picked up a Cobb DP and earlier this week I picked up a TurboXS Axleback.
