    I really like the logo. How long did that take you.


    Going to bring it to Nate tonight in search of a newer (to me) and faster WRX. search results are pending.

    i bet it took me an hour, the trickiest part was getting all the chrome out with a toothpick. and i still didn't get it all, at least it looks good from about 3 feet away. if you do it, take your time and use the right stuff to get the paint off. I used some stuff that i had in my garage, i think it was too harsh for the plastic..

    Got the outback washed, RainX'd, interior windows cleaned and all winter gear stored away.

    next on list. Removed big streak of Tar along the whole drivers side. :( any ideas?
    Get exterior detailed and clay bar'd and get the carpets cleaned. (when the federal refund comes)

    After diagnosing a bad valve a couple of weeks ago in the used motor I bought to replace the original which spun a bearing, and discovering multiple bad valves upon tear down, I had my original heads rebuilt by Gosh. Everything went back together today and looks good.

    The last time the car ran properly was early November. I've got my fingers crossed....

    ^^cleanest part of my car right now.

    [​IMG]

    oil change, new air filter, better gas mileage due to mud removal, new fender liner, fixed the hood latch so it retracts and fixed the tip of my exhaust so it does not rattle anymore. good day off was good.

    Installed an Espelir JGT500 catback today. It sounds pretty freakin' awesome during WOT, but otherwise I pretty much hate it so far. :mad: Might be looking to make a trade soon.

    Too loud in all situations except warm idle... looking into silencers but ultimately I'll probably go with a completely different cbe.

    just turn the music up. Problem solved ;)

    Yesterday we put the wheels onto the mixxmobile and the clean bumper. I don't know why he insists on changing the bumper each winter (yeah yeah I know, the old one is beat to **** so he'd rather bust that one up than the nice one,) swapping those is a pain in the ass. Car looks good, though!

    Washed mine this morning too... as soon as I drove, water leaked out around the handles and mirrors? Annoying to say the least. Any suggestions?

    air compressor (or compressed air can). Or shut the doors with a decent amount of force, drive it around, then clean up the water spots with QD and a microfiber.
