    Added about 6 sq ft of butyl-based dampener to the inner side of the outer door panel for the front two doors. Had to get way contorted up in the door to lay down a few nice long straight sheets.

    Also added some open cell foam behind the midrange location.

    Tried to conceive a way to mount my new and very impressive looking but obnoxiously large tweeters that arrived today. Don't see it happening. This is going to end in fiberglass, I just know it. ....

    installed a shorter quick release - took way longer than it should because we had previously shortened the hub adapter so i had to make some standoffs to space it so the horn connections didn't hit the nut for the steering column. horn all the time ftl

    Installed a Hotchkis Competition 26mm rear sway/bushings/endlinks.

    Threw the bald stocker RE92's and stock wheels on. Had to get the Nokian RSI's off, they were quite unhappy with the warm temps. Also made an appointment with Jeff The Alignment Guy for next Friday to get the RE-01R's mounted on the stock 06 WRX wheels, and perform a stock-ish alignment.

    Changed the oil, washed and RainX'd the windows, and put the silver 5 spokes back on. And put another noise barrier sheet in the arse end to prepare for a little journey.

    Tonight, out comes the shop vac and interior detailer. Oh yeah, and the :cheers2:

    Changed the oil on the Legacy by sucking it out the dipstick tub with a vacuum pump and collection jar. Gas leaked past the piston rings while I had the injectors out for cleaning, yes I ran it dry with the fuel pump unplugged but it still happened.

    Took it for a test drive, no fuel leaks and runs like a top. At least it did until the front right brake caliper decided to tighten up. Now I have to take that apart tonight to see what the heck is going on in there!

    Why does my Legacy hate me this month?

    Put on my new (to me) Momo shift knob. Mixed feelings so far. I like the feel of the ball, but the bottom part being aluminum doesn't feel right. It'll get really cold in the winter, too... :(
