    If a Sith Lord drove a Forester he would have these.

    Yeah, his turbo spools so much faster and I think he's on e85. I know him and definitely knew I'd get spanked. Would've been a much better race if my starts didn't suck so much. Haha.

    Nah, it’s just the fact that he is lighter with his carbon fiber bits I’m sure ;)

    Krazy needs to get amputated at the knees for weight reduction to make it a fair fight.

    Installed my eBay headlights so that I can start the process of retrofitting my OEM set. Fitment is garbage of course, but damn they look good lol.

    Is a roll only good for a single set? I’ve always thought about doing my BRZ in yellow. But thought that buying a roll for two fog lights seemed goofy.

    The roll I bought has plenty of film left. I could probably do 2 more sets of foglights. Was only like $5-6 for the roll too. NTB.

    Very well! I was pleased with how the car ran the entire trip on the new (stock) turbo and new tune from JM. Put over 1,800 miles on the car for the whole trip and it was happy the whole time.

    This is clearly more economical than the Lamin-X I bought. But, I'm kinda lazy so it was nice to have them pre-cut. ‍♂️

    Rallyarmours and emblem overlay arrived today. Installed them along with the F badge license plate delete. Now I need to wash the car; That front end is hideous lol.

    Finally got around to changing my oil and getting a blackstone sample. Didnt get around to doing the diffs or transmission fluid yet.

    Always been curious, because I've never done one, if you're in the middle of an oil change interval and have burned/leaked enough to warrant adding fresh oil is it better to take a sample then or wait until the full interval is over?

    i would sample and add all new oil. If you dilute it it would effectively screw up the sample

    My mom's 2012 Impreza popped the P2764 again this weekend (torque converter solenoid. I bought and installed a Chinese one on Amazon in June...).

    I got my hands on a used valve body with a failed AWD solenoid, and swapped the converter solenoid into my mom's car last night. Test drive went well. Hope it lasts a bit longer this time.

    Do we have the same ones? CarWorx or whatever? Found limited options when I was searching last year. They work well enough. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    They're just unbranded eBay visors. Probably identical though lol.

    Importology replica SG5 front lip with an eBay hawkeye STI front lip. I still need to finish cutting up the STI lip to fit a bit better, but I loooove how it fits so far. The upper lip has some fitment issues, but that's to be expected with any sort of aftermarket body panels/accessories. For how much I paid, it fits GREAT.

    I can't wait to do the mesh grill mod next. I ordered a sheet of Audi grill mesh off eBay lol.

    I agree. If it were the crappy fake chrome stuff I would say toss it in the bin.

    Finally finished with the 06-07 STi front lip. I guess now I have more motivation to try and find a paint booth for rent. Tired of seeing all the mismatched colored parts around the car lol.

    Just put in the new front member support for the rear diff. Easy peasy! $110 for part, bolts, and nuts. I was thinking about going used or STI but didn't think the fitment would be perfect. Also didn't want to spend $200 for aftermarket one... Lol

    Boss wanted me to learn more and told me to replace the FXT's tint. I got a spare roll of 15% for the front, and 5% for the rear. I didn't have time to apply the brow, but I'll finish it sometime next week. Windshield will be fully tinted after I get around to replacing the glass. Happy to finally get rid of the old peeling tint though lol.

    I just started in the industry a week ago and I'm already enjoying it more than PDR. My back is a lot happier.
