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:

RA Mud Flaps ;engine oil.

LS

Today i mounted the Rally Armor mud flaps on my Forester SH 2.0 l non turbo
4AET. Btw i left the OEM splash guards as it has a better *look*
I received these flaps this week from RA in the Netherlands.

Second i put in some new engine oil at 9300 km : Kendall GT1 5W-40 full synth.
Where i live (Nijmegen) is the Kendall importer for Nl. Belgium and Luxemburg located.They do an oil test for you if you buy the oil from them :biggrin:

It is my 5e Forester after the start of this model.I am *addicted* to Subaru Forester as i use it for hunting and fishing .

kind regards from NL

Fixed my headlight (side lens popped off), washed my car and cleaned the engine bay. Tomorrow I am painting my wheel caps taking off the dealer badge off of my wifes fozzy and washing her car. Oh and I'm replacing a bad lightbulb under my tag.

Well last night, I took it to the NorthNevada Rally and was part of the start crew for Stage 2. Drifted on the course and was so glad I have a skid pad... I'd hate to imagine how I would've gotten home without one...

Washed & Polished my '04 FXT for the first time. Tried out Turtle Wax Ice Polish and it works great on Black Java Pearl and very easy to Apply & Buff. Used Turtle Wax tire shine through out engine bay after degreasing / steam clean with simple green. Tire shine works great on those hard to reach areas and tight spots.

Busy day on spent on my wifes new daily driver 2010 XT, installed the following stuff today:

Splash guards
body side mouldings
bumper cover
upper strut tower brace

I put allot of thought into the boost gauge installation over the last week I think it came out great. The gauge is a pro-sport peak/warn boost guage in an autometer 2 1/16" cup velcrowed to the dash, no holes were drilled.

Changed Subed's oil after yesterday's romp through the twisties. After draining the old oil, I noticed that I had marked down the mileage of the last oil change on the filter. It read 135k. The odo now reads 146k. Oops... 11k between changes - I think I lost track of things for a little while there. :icon_redface:

Too bad I had already drained all the oil, or I would've taken a sample and sent it to Blackstone, just for grins and giggles.

Did you get a upper strut tower brace to fit on the 09?
