    Installed a JNA front lip, easy as pie. Also finally made the switch to Rotella T6 5w-40, seems to run smoother.

    pretty easy. It'll make installing the new turbo a lot easier that's for sure. It's actually the feed line and it replaces the factory hard line with a flexible line.

    Yes, Stainless Steel braided lines ftw. Much easier than fighting the stock hard line. But he's already got one Sheener.:) If anyone else wants it though, hit me up!BNIB.

The whole car is getting re painted by my buddys uncle from silver to aspen white im trying to work out a deal with him so MNsubaru can get a discount for painting. His uncle is doing his car the whole thing for 850$ . His uncle is certified and everything so he does good work he also does vinyl work so illl see what i can do.

    Just picked it up from RS Motors. Had them swap in an ACT HDSS/LWFW (streetlite), TSK3, group N trans mount and some Extra S. Matt took care of me with a good deal on labor, can't wait to get through the break in period! Cross member bushing should be here later this week.

    Well, it's a whole different clutch so it's hard to say what effect the TSK had on feel. The current setup is much lighter than stock, very "springy" on the return, higher, crisper engagement point. No unusual noises that I can tell either.

    Both right speakers have been blown for a while now so this last weekend went out and picked up some new kenwoods for the front and moved the 1 working font speaker to the back blown one. I have no idea how I went so long with them being blow. Sounds a million times better.

    The DW65c is supposedly a direct drop in for the 08+. No modification to the housing is required. It should be a very straight forward install.

    Yes, direct replacement. I took my time and the job was finished in about 45 minutes. And yes, I'm running DW 850s.

    Well since my car is sleeping for winter and have no plans to monkey with it while it sits, I can finally say I've done something(a very little something) EBAY center caps....yep that's it unless you count putting boxes on top of the car as doing something.

    Swapped out cross member bushings, added rear diff bushing inserts, changed rear diff fluid, brought it to Jeff The Alignment Guy, finished the break in mileage on my new clutch about an hour before it started snowing. Coincidentally, we ran out of both milk and coffee about two hours after it started snowing. Seems to happen every time it snows. It's the oddest thing... :coffee:

    On the way home from work yesterday I heard a funny noise coming from my car. As the drive progressed I determend that is was some thing that was related to MPH rather than RPM... so I decided to investigate:

    ft tire.JPG
    After looking over the wheels and tires I decided to pull the wheel that I thought the noice was coming from... After looking it, the brakes and the CV boots (ect) over real good, I couldn't pin point what was going to be causing the noise... So I put the wheel back on and decided to drive if without the hub caps... so I removed all them and took her for a spin... still heard it so we went back home and as I got out I went to look over the other tires... there it was:

    nail.JPG
    So then I moved her in to the garage while the other one watched:

    LGT.JPG
    This morning I dropped the young one off to get her wiper switch replaced and get the plug/patch put in the old one's wheel. Due to the part not being stocked for the LGTwe got this POS on loan... Which I used to to drive across town and get the tire fixed for free:

    versa.JPG
    When my GF called to see how her LGT was doing I told her the bad news... the only thing she could say was, "I hope they didn't give me an Aveo like last time"... My only responce was was it's not an Aveo... Anyways to cheer her up we will be picking her up from work:

    ^LOL, the last time i got a rental for work being done it was a Toyota Echo. It's weird to have the gauge cluster in the middle of the dash...i kept looking down to see my speed only to see plastic dash. Lullz
