What did you do to your subaru today?

Added another one to the garage! Bought it from an old member from Lax!

 

I'd skip the white flaps but the gold wheels don't look bad

 

I did my valve cover gaskets and it only took... drum roll please... 7 HOURS!

 

I have that on my to do list. Tips?

 

Remember to pull all the grommets off the Valve Cover before you put the gasket and gasket sealer on.
Remember to pull all the seals off including the ones for the spark plugs, made the mistake on one side and had to start over.
I would recommend watching some videos on it multiple times before hand, and it would be smart to have some experience with taking things out of the engine bay.

 

Sold the Advans and got a set of 2015 Launch Edition STi BBS wheels.

 

Wow those look really good!

 

Agreed!

 

I spent the day detailing my car. The interior got the JDM extended armrest with leather padded lid and the leather shifter boot from JPM. I am very happy with both items. Then I spent way too many hours washing, claying, glazing, and waxing with Chemical Guys products. If you haven't tried them please do - they provide incredible results without the terrible smells lots of other cleaners and waxes have. Ready for summer!

 

Drove my new Blobeye to our small weekly-before-work coffee meet with friends. I love this car.

 

I bet that Alfa is a hoot to drive.

 

After waiting three long months, my WORK Wheels finally arrived.

18x8.5 +38 on Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sports 235/40 18. Had a slight roll done, but it definitely needs more of a roll. Where do people go around the metro for an experienced roller for Subies?

Changed the grill to a sport mesh today, looks way better!

 

Is that a Taurus/Fusion? Haha.

 

LOL, same reason I changed mine out on my Foz. Front end looked too much like my fiancee's Fusion. Next on my list is the front underspoiler and exhaust. I liked the angry red overlay on the emblem!
As for mine, the new Yokohamas are handling a LOT better than the previous ones (Fuzion tires).

 

Installed muteki lug nuts. Went with red to go with the color scheme.

 

Curious to see how long they "last". I just scored a set secondhand (but new in box) for cheap and then read a bunch of bad reviews online about the paint coming off easy. Granted once they're on they're pretty much untouched for several months (generally). Just waiting to do a few more things before I match my "scheme" as well.

Red looks sweet on there.

 

Those look great!

 

Thank you!

 

It's honestly the subtle "mods" that really give a car its character.

 

Exactly! It's the little things

 

Time to wetsand

 

Awesome car @Shabbaru. What's the specs on the wheels and tires?

 

18x10 +18 with a 245/40. Thanks!

 

Don't think I will be in town unfortunately, I would love to go but I'm traveling a ton this summer.

 

lsd!

 

Installed a kicker hideaway sub last night. Sounds much better, and surprised at how much this sub can put out! I got the sound I want without sacrificing any useable space!!

 

Interesting. Under the seat? Shake your bottom bass?

 

Yeah fits perfectly! OEM subwoofer location for SH foresters (if equipped) is under the drivers seat. Installed this under the passenger seat. With the bass controller at max you can feel a little bass in your a** this won't rattle your brains out, which I didn't want anyway. Just wanted a nice sounding system.

 

Got my (dirty) daily driver Forester tinted. It is 20% film all around. The rears end up around 5% factoring in the OEM privacy glass.

 

Torque solution Rear diff inserts
torque solution trasmission member bushings
Kartboy shifter and front / rear bushings
Torque solution billet tranny mount
New tranny and diff fluid
Stoptech rotors and pads

 

Looks perfect - I've got to get my front windows tinted. Think I will leave the rear factory tint alone and go 35 or 20 on the fronts.

 

Washed, clay barred, waxed the exterior, then went nuts on the interior. Love the way it turned out, the color's starting to grow on me. Now I just need some damn lowering springs and front lip...and new rims...

 

Drove this guy home...

 

@Cartman08 - I'm planning on just doing some minor suspension swap, want to do some Pedder's springs, drop a little bit farther than the Swifts do. I *could* do a full suspension setup, when i bought the car, it came with a full set of '09 WRX shocks and springs. Drops a little bit too far for my taste, in the neighborhood of 2.5-3 inches. Springs would work, since we don't have the SLS in the rear that across the pond Fozzes have. First things first, I have to do the 60k checkup (to keep my warranty).

 

Cleaned up my Forester and took a few more shots. Also have a full set of new tires since the last photo. Got a nail in one and had low tread all around so they all got replaced. Got Pirelli P7 all seasons.

 

I was going back and forth on springs only/takeoffs. Spent several hours comparing pictures and reading through posts. A set of 2012 Wrx takeoffs came up for sale in the FS thread here so I snatched them up. Couldn't be happier. Yes at first I thought "oh this is way to low" but I just love the way it handles now. I am still searching for a used set of pedders to throw on the stock struts for when old man winter comes around.

 

Installed my SubiSpeed paddle shifters.. Of course, in red
