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:

I started my morning hitting a few backroads remembering how fast this car can be that i had forgotten over the winter. came home and finshed my rear sway bar project, painted my new hood scoop that i had been waiting all winter to do and proceeded to mount it up on the scoob. It was a good day!!

I looked at my mods list, looked at the Forester, said "BALLS!", walked upstairs to play on the PS3.

LOL. I'm currently sitting on my bed, looking out the window at the raindrops falling onto the BattleWagon, beading up on the freshly waxed paint, and then rolling off. For some reason, I find it entertaining....

I guess I'm easily entertained.

This actually made me laugh out loud when I read it!:biggrin:

Threw on a new set of tires. Went with the Bridgestone Insignia SE 200. They were cheap to begin with and Costco gave me $70 off on the new set, hopefully they don't suck...

We had an inch of snow yesterday. Thank God it melted quickly and it's back to about 50 degrees today. So anyway, I shaved the symmetrical AWD and the XT. I was debating on whether or not to shave the SUBARU and the FORESTER off too. If anyone has an opinion either way, let me know.

After looking at these pics I decided I have to get a new black license plate frame. The fake chrome is not looking good. I also added a sticker or two just for fun.

markyh i agree with you the black plate frame, or at least something not chrome, also i would have gone with either just forester XT or subaru and the XT, but im not sure if there are any holes behind those 2 badges on that MY

Yeah, I just got a new black frame for the front plate and it has little covers for the screws and I really think it looks cleaner. The letters came off easier than any car I've ever shaved. No holes! Just heated them up for about 3 seconds with the gun and then picked them right off. The glue was gray and very gooey but came off all in one big clump and there was almost no clean up afterwards.
