Yakima roof rack installed. Waiting on the Thule bike racks.

Oh, and curbed a f***ing wheel pulling out of an ATM because why the hell not. It's like I've never driven a low car before. So pissed at myself.

Do you notice a howling sound at interstate speeds? The Suzuki I owned before the Subaru I got a Whispbar which cost a fortune because I did a lot of 70-80mph interstate driving.


I installed a Grimmspeed strut bar today, noticeable difference in the feel of the vehicle. I am pleasantly surprised. I also installed a Raceseng pulley set, hard to tell if I notice a difference or not. Once I do a lightweight flywheel and driveshaft I am sure I will notice the change.

Only have been up to about 65 so far with it, will know more later tonight. But so far, can't remotely tell it's there noise or fuel economy-wise.

RCE Tarmac springs installed on stock Sachs PP dampers. Probably oversprung but got a great deal on a used set until we go with coilovers. Sitting about 3/4" lower now. I'll see if that settles in any over the next week.

Also, the stock PP pagid brake pads dust pretty damn bad. Have Ferodo DS2500's in the mail for some extra bite.

So far so good but only took it around the block to make sure everything was on correctly and tight. Just slightly rougher ride I think, nothing terrible. I'll report more once I put some miles on them.
