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:

Used it to get me to a cliff face in Kalbarri and then proceeded to take photos of my car on the cliff edge to enter into the calender.

I left the FXT with the wife and kids.

It needs a new cargo bag. The Kanga is dead,

Changed the plugs on the '99.
Then drove it to the Subie stealer to pick up a LF brake caliper.
Then installed the caliper on the '03 and bled the lines.
Took my son to hockey practise in the '05.

Next weekend, the rear brakes on the '03!

Used it to get the pulley kit I ordered. That said I don't get why it's called a kit. The kit is one pulley. That's it. Made of aluminum ofc.

Which one did you get? I was looking at doing that. Let me know if you see/feel a difference...

Does going out for a drive in our unseasonable warm Oregon Fall weather count? :biggrin:

Booty work

Removed the SUBARU, AWD, and 2.5XT from the rear.
Painted Forester and pillar AWD badges Semi-flat black.
Nite Shaded and clear coated the tails.

And also applied an entire can of Plasti-dip to the front grill - She's winter ready & looks a tiny bit tougher to boot.
