Bought some Michelin PSS to replace the full set all around. Anyone wanna buy one of my three remaining OEM tires?

What a coincidence ... about six weeks ago my RR tire "ate" a screw that involved the sidewall ... also replaced the complete set with Michelin Pilot Super Sports!
The car sticks much better now ...

Oil change with Motul 8100 ecolite 0w20. Oil change was relatively easy except the filter was on super tight. Had to use a combo of rubber bands to get grip to remove it.

Air filter took a couple tries to correctly put the air box together.

Will do transmission and differential oil change on another day when I get two additional jack stands.

Just dropped mine off to finally have the driver's side window switch replaced (auto up/down not working for passenger window) and also to update my NAV software and replace the antenna (GPS loses signal after about 1/4 mile from start).

I'm driving a brand new Chevy Cruze for the day. It had TWO miles on it. Pretty nice, but damn it 1) has no balls whatsoever and 2) feels like I'm driving an SUV in comparison.

Yesterday I replaced my drop-in filter and my air cabin filter with OEM Toyota ones. My goodness that drop-in filter wasn't "drop-in" at all. A PITA. I think now that I have a better understanding of how it's replaced, though, that it'll truly be "drop-in" next time. You should just be able to unlatch and swap filters. No clue why there's a DIY to unbolt the air box and slide them apart and together.

I realized I was just putting it in backwards...

Otherwise I don't think I would've needed to pull apart the air box from the snorkel and such. Ah well. This is why it's fun to work on your own car. Now I know how to swap it myself!

Now I have to get some touch up paint to cover it up so that it doesn't rust or anything.

I advise Dr. Colorchip. Good stuff. Used it on my 2011 WRX. Had chips ALL over the hood of that thing.

That's what she said...

I couldn't let that go.

But seriously, I did the same thing with my Perrin filter. Damn things should have a "FRONT -->" arrow...Hell, even PC fans usually have arrows on them to show airflow direction.

BFM! Chive on, man.

This wheel is really starting to grow on me. Pretty damn light for what they are, but that makes me worry about the skinny spokes. Looks great, regardless!

Dr. Colorchip seems kinda expensive for jackpoint touch up. I'll double-check mine for chips (used prothane jack stand pads, but one did slip off once as I lowered the vehicle), but if there are any, I'm pretty sure I'll be satisfied with $15 touchup pen results.
