LOL

Also, I have a line on a forrester xt oil cooler from a fellow 86er on the boards... more info to come in the next few days or so!


Let me know how the forester oil cooler install goes - you doing it yourself? If I am available when you do it I could be an extra set of hands to help install.


I am out of town (hence why I could not make the drive) but I have a oil catch pan and hood struts waiting for me to install when I get back to Austin on Sunday. The hood struts became a must after the last cars and coffee and a bit of wind dropping people's hoods except FRSMatts with the hood struts! But I will be removing one mod - I will be uninstalling the amp from OEMAudioPlus and sending it in because it seems too bright to me so they want to do some testing on it etc.


FWIW I like the look of the nurbs better for your car... look more C'thulhu to me...
