    Wiper blades do wear out you know. I've used the Bosch wiper blades and have liked them, you just need to change them when they wear out like every wiper blade.

    I put on Rain-X Latitude blades on my RS a month or two ago. They have been great for me this summer. I ordered them on Amazon as it was much cheaper than in the stores. In the Winter I run Rain-X winter blades and those are great since I have to park outdoors all the time.

    In order to stay on topic: I dorve my Subi to work and checked tire pressue. The cold has really brought the PSI down...

    Swore at the faulty abs sensor I was changing. Didn't wear my gloves so I of course took a chunk out of my knuckles and for good measure when the sensor finally broke free half was stuck in the hub. Then I swore some more, and admitted defeat for the night. Didn't had a problem with 2 others that came out of a parts stash. Guess the abs light will stay on perm for a bit vs intermittently for a while. I suppose it is possible it was busted before but more likely I busted it when prying at the metal plate trying to break where it rusted to the hub. Damn.

    edit: fixed. bye bye abs warning.

    I drove it hard today. Clutch is slipping, getting it done this week. Full boost in 3rd/4th/5th smells good.

    Installed the new Hawk pads and turned the rotors on Tuesday with some help from Turbo_turtle and Headwerks. Just got to get around to replacing the brake fluid and brakes will be good for awhile.

    took the heads out.

    yes, you can remove the heads of a DOHC n/a, without removing the block.

    Not really sure if this counts, but cleaned the entire interior of my impreza. I detail cars as a hobby so I enjoy it. The other day I put on my new Cobb knob. Love it.

    Installed 09 STI fuel pump (175 l/hr) in my 08 WRX ( 155l/hr). Hopefully it can pump 750-850cc injectors for my E85 set up next summer.

    Long, Long, Long, wait. Over a year from conception to delivery. Well worth the wait. I don't know if GTWorx has these listed for purchase yet. I know they are listed on the website, but I don't think there is a price for them. I hope to have a better feeling for them after the weekend, bring on Canterbury...
