What did you do to your subaru today?

Last night, I put the summer tires on my Impreza. Just in time for the snow on Saturday

 

Mine might handle a little snow. I am very bad at negotiating, and people tend to sell me on stuff I don't necessarily want.

Anyhow, the tires are a Discount Tire exclusive Continental sport A/S.

 

When mom's away and I think I can get my parking brake shoes replaced while the kids play nicely outside turns into "where are my tools?"

 

Ten years from now when they can truly be helpful, they will have absolutely no interest in it.

 

Bought it. Introducing Ketchup!

 

Did you get the rubber buns to go with it?

 

Got some new rubber! Toyo Celsius 225/65/17

Edit: will have OEM 2014 FXT wheels and tires with some life left as well as a set of blizzaks for sale soon ...

 

Changed out the spark plugs yesterday. They weren't in too bad of condition after visual inspection. Also cleaned the MAF sensor (used MAF cleaner) while I was in there.

 

Swapped to a Legacy GT cluster over the weekend. My buddy had a bunch that he was gonna throw away, so I snagged one haha. Speedo doesn't work, but that's a common issue with this generation Legacy. Nothing an hour and some solder won't fix.




So bright at night!!

 

Named Ketchup by our 3-year-old, but thought the same thing, and it works perfectly!

They are more plasticy than rubbery.

 

Cried over it as I begin to get it ready for sale.

 

Yesterday, watched her get loaded onto the flatbed, sad klown 0<:O(

Rick, you selling the Leggy? Buying a STi?

 

Downsizing the fleet my friend. Sold the Escalade last week and I’m selling my car in addition to the Camaro. We have owned each of these vehicles for at least 10 years. At this point in our life we are trying to get down to two vehicles. Last Saturday we bought a newer Silverado crew cab. Hanging on to the WRX. Love that car!

 

Yeah, I don't think Kim would be too happy if you sold hers!

 

New grocery list that is mod accurate and some jdm window visors

 

Upgraded my clock gauge pod to an ATI unit courtesy of @ThePartsGuy and added a carbon trim bezel to it for a cleaner look (and a matching one for the speedo cluster). Also painted the trim rings on the gauges themselves because they were 3 different colors and it always bothered me. Before and after...

 

Yes it is, wanted all the original and aftermarket gauges to match. Looked everywhere for a real cf trim but this was the only thing I could find, a "3D" carbon-patterned vinyl one. Still looks decent. And the 12v outlet cover I grabbed from a random car at a salvage yard, can't even remember what it came from now.

 

I'm in the, what seems to be annual now, scrambling to find some slightly used summer tires because mine are shot and I'm still on snows stage.

 

Not so much "did" as much as "bought". And I now own a Saabaru. Don't judge me.

 

I realized the other day I never installed the black trim ring onto my ignition cylinder after my car was broken into years ago, so naturally had to change it up a bit and installed the red LGT ignition ring

 

Hell, yeah!

Not my Subaru, but I finally finished painting the Hyundai today! I can't wait to try out 3Ms new 8000 grit sand paper and 2 step compound to turn this basic paint job into something decent.

 

Aaaahhhh, orange peel! I like the color and flake you used.

 

Got the summer wheels back from powder coat. Me like! Now got to get the tires mounted.

 

those turned out real nice

 

Orange peel for days!! I gotta start wet sanding soon before the clear hardens to concrete.

 

What kind of clear did you use?

 

Go Canadian and put Tuscani badges on it!

 

Some weird brand that I never heard of before. "5 star clear coat". It came with the gallon kit I bought online.

I was going to shave the rear emblem, but I didn't have enough time to shape and weld a plate in the recess and fill it with fiberglass filler. I ended up just painting the god awful "Genesis wings" that the PO gave to me.

 

More like what I did yesterday but traded in the Crosstrek for this thing...

 

Brought her home yesterday. Driving her today. Bought a rear wiper blade and Silverstar low beam bulbs.

 

I rolled a bunch of miles! I guess I better get the valve lash adjusted soon. Been meaning to do that for a while now.

 

I gave her more "tats".

She got a couple moar tats.
