    Any snow that falls will last maybe a few hours. I can stay off the roads for a few hours if I need to :).

    That's why I buy all season tires for my summer wheels.

    Pulled the cover off the STi on Friday and took it around the block...been a while since I drove her. Parked it right back in the garage and got started on the clutch install...yay! :uhhuh:

    Spring maintenance list:
    South Bend stage 2 Daily clutch
    Group N Trans mount
    TiC Trans x-member bushings
    Centric Premium High Carbon rotors/Stop Tech pads/SS Brake lines
    Spark Plugs
    OEM '07 Limited rear spoiler (still needs paint)

    Put the summers on and changed the trunk torsion bars to WRX yesterday (opens like normal now with no catapult effect lol).

    I plan to de badge the trunk.

    Debated debadging (for sure the dealer tag), then debated dipping the badges, and then the indecisiveness ended in a draw until I get a better idea of what I want. I did however pick up some new attachments for the bike trays and snowboard clips that work with the aero style bars. Now the true test will be which I prefer...roof rack mounts or trailer hitch mounts.... more to come.

    I like that a lot! Thanks!

    I did manage to get the St. Cloud Subaru decal off, and picked up a license plate relocation kit from @fancyfootwork15 . It needs a little adjustment but overall I like it! It does stick out about an 1.5'' from the bumper, but the 08+ WRX/05-09 Legacy shaft has the same thread as the EJ Foresters. Sorry for the crummy cell photo (per usual).

    Likewise! Drove mine on Friday for the first time since last November, then Saturday installed oil cooler and front and rear sway bars.. Drove it today and all was good. More to come!

    I'm now a fan of leaving badges the way they are... Cuz everyone debadges these days. Maybe paint them gunmetal... That could look cool.

    At the end of the day, it's your car, do what you want!

    Well I should clarify. It's very noticeable when you start driving from a stop. The car just goes instead of bogging slightly. Overall not bad for "cheap" mod.

    Put a couple new floor mats that I got from work in the Legacy (work car) today. Only got one "cool" one so far. The left side is just an oversized rubber one that I trimmed to fit the floor (free weathertech! cha, brah!)

    * In before some jealous, broke haterz look down on a player for a sick nasty stereo install. It was there when I got it, and I can't knock it.

    Looks like your hammer gear fell out, make sure to re install that.

    Drove the BRZ home from Iowa with summers on. In the snow. My car is white now.

    Took apart my car more than I thought I'd do, which really wasn't much.

    Took a stab at addressing the AOS. The crank case inlet was previously plugged into one of the valve cover inlets. Now it should be good. I added some thread tape, too.

    Cleaned up some of the lines going to my EBCS so it looks prettier.

    My EWG dump tube is making contact with my trans. Darn.

    Ah ok. I thought you had switched for some reason. I haven't had any issues with my Crawford yet, but this is probably a good reminder that I need to clean mine. I probably said the same thing that last time you posted about your aos lol.

    I just stumbled upon IAG's AOS and I am curious to hear how well it is working. Looks to be a little better engineered than the Crawford.
