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:

Spent the day wandering around the Ozark National Forest (my first trip out in the Foz). Came home and quickly gave it a bath. Don't judge

It gets easier every time. For me it's getting that plastic shield unattached and out of the way. I've got it down to .5 of an hour now. :Banane37:

Had my yoko geolander at-s installed yesterday. So far very happy, and they look way better than the [email protected] stock duellers. Hopefully they stand up better that the Duellers. Only had 38000 km's and need them replaced.

Just bought an 02 S.

Replaced pads and rotors because they were shuddering on braking. went low cost NAPA, $220 all the way around. front rotors had deep grooves in them and all were very rusty. of course snapped the last rusty caliper bolt. turned a 3-hour job into a 8-hour job. drilled it out, re-threaded it. now we have excellent stopping action!

next is the clangy heat shield fix (which i've read all about on these awesome forums).

Hopfully dropping it off at the dealership for the LAST time regarding this misfire... They'd better have a loaner car available too.
