How car sits as of now.

I for some fresh rubber. Also made a video of it.




Also painted the tire. What do you think?



Review of the tire and a closer look at the tire paint.

Had to get the inner section replaced in my rear left cusco street zero A as it was rattling and thumping. Its the second time its been replaced under warranty.

When my mechanic opened it he found the bump stop was split like a dropped cantaloupe. Replaced both of them with upgraded tein units, better durometer and lower profile. The cusco importer covered the cost.

Car now runs smoother and feels more planted.

On Monday I got a fresh oil change. Tomorrow I'm taking it in to get the diff fluids replaced. Can't really think of what else I should have done at 51k miles. I couldn't find anywhere in the manual that pointed to specific maintenance schedules. What should be done at 60k miles that I can do right now? Transmission fluid? Also when should the injectors be inspected and cleaned? I want to get the entire car overhauled before I drive it to the East Coast in a few months. I had the brake fluid swapped when I got the front Brembos put on. Coolant doesn't need to be changed until 100k, I believe.

I wish I had money to spare for Bilstein struts, although the stock struts still feel fine. Stock clutch still feels fine too. Also shifting is still fine after it's warmed up a bit. Great little car after so much abuse and so many miles. Best Subaru I've ever owned.

Got hit on my way home from dinner. Fender, bumper, headlight are gonna have to be replaced. Alignment is way out of wack and ABS is out.

At least I didn't have my coils, wheels, and other parts on it yet.

Yeah... That's a lot for an oil change unless they used motul or something similarly priced but I doubt it.

Yeah mine are usually about $70 when using Subaru's synthetic oil.

Just dropped the car off to get the 60k service done, as mentioned a few posts up. Looking at getting spark plugs cleaned, injectors checked out, transmission and diff fluids swapped. Already got fresh brake fluid and oil change out of the way. Also air filters should be aiight.
