What did you do to your subaru today?

Took care those ugly rock chips on my hood today.

 

Attempted to replace an axle, snapped the head off one of the caliper bracket bolts.

 

(yesterday) Picked up the Forester after a visit to NF for a new timing belt and water pump.

 

Took pics for an upcoming FS thread *I'm hoping this post is enough of a start to get me to follow through with it.

 

I'm sure there are interested parties, like myself lol.

 

Washed it, because I drove it to work yesterday and I want it to be pretty when I drive to the cities area tonight.

 

Wow, so clean.

 

I too cleaned mine! not as pretty as yours thought! also plastidipped the grill yesterday. what you guys think?

 

The black and white look is always a winner.

 

Finally got around to replacing the oem exhaust hangers with some good old kartboys for my Turbo XS tbe. Protip, buy some silicone spray. The oem hangers are a pain to get off. I did them by hand on my 2002 wrx way back when. Using the silicone spray this time around and I was done in less than 10 minutes from jack up to jack down.

 

Spent 8 hours washing, claying and sealing.

 

8 hours? and what do you use for sealer just curious

 

Wash, dry, clay, wipe off lubricant, apply Wolfgang Polish Enhancer, wipe off, apply Wolfgang Paint Sealant, wipe off (in total you are touching all of the car eight times). Includes taping off black areas to keep paint sealant off them, clean wheels, apply Black Again to the splash guards, cowl plastic, mirror housings, apply Xpel sealer to clear bra, polish exhaust tips, remove and reinstall licence plates, small lunch break, talk to the mailman and lawn service guy for a short time, tune garage radio a few times...it all adds up. Could I do it quicker? Probably, but I'm old and putz a bit.

 

I ignored it again today

Long work week + poopy weather most of the time = no free time to drive her.

I have six days off in a row after monday, I'll make it up baby I promise

 

Wet sand my new painted hood and did a complete buff on her

 

I think I'm going to do that as well. I have a 2010 WRX too

 

Wash and wax. Cleaned up the rims a bit.

 

I am pooped. Hopefully she runs by Tuesday!

If anyone is free tomorrow and wants to help me put some of this stuff together feel free to drop by. Ill be in Brooklyn park all day.

 

^Corn?

 

Got the Hella horns working again so I no longer sound like Yaris when I honk.

Question tho. Anyone know what the center pin on the relay does? AutoZone only had a 4-pin and it seems to work just fine.

 

Walbro 400 e85 fuel pump install, 3rd brake light install and exhaust swap

 

old nasty tan carpet out. In with black!

 

One more

 

Forgot to add this but last friday I took the subie to get its weekly detailing at the free vacuum and five dollah car wash.

 

diggin the rims

 

I drove to Brooklyn Park Subaru on Monday and peeked through the service window at my WRX, closest I've been to it in a week

 

Looks good.

 

Depending on the relay model, it can be just a second pin for the output, or it can be oppositely switched (normally closed).

 

I had my new Centric rotors and Stoptech pads installed at NF today. They feel and work great, and I had yet again another great experience at NF. I even got a free lunch out of the deal!

Also had the chance to take a ride in Juks' WRX while I was waiting. That car is QUICK. Left me with a stupid grin on my face.

 

I know the feeling

 

Glad everything worked out for you.

 

I primed, painted, and clear coated my RS bumper. Now to find time to swap out the support and install the RS bumper on my wagon!

 

wrapped the tanks on the intercooler on my 2010 STI with a heat barrier. testimonies show that this stuff reduced heat soak temp on the intercooler nearly 300 degrees after subsequent dyno pulls. looks kinds cool too.

 

Installed new Hawk HPS brake pads on the front. YAY

 

Drove to work. Waiting on floor mats tomorrow.

 

drove the silver subie to work tonight

 

went for a drive that had to get post poned half way through due to weather...thank you BP for letting me use your canopy to stay out of it.

 

Tired of the gold so just wanna do something different on my other wheels.

Before



After today

 

Started washing it, then it stormed pretty hard during (with tornado sirens), then a double rainbow. Then I enjoyed the sun and got it dirty again.

 

Vacuum and new OEM rubber floor mats. Not really a fan of them yet, but i think they will grow on me.

 

Beads up so nicely every time!

 

If those weather tech mats are still for sale you should grab them instead.

 

Sold it It's still in the mnsubaru family though.

 

Installed my new top hats, dampers and springs with the help of Shane and then went for an alignment with Jeff "the alignment guy". So far I love the setup!
