Apparently this is lowering springs and alignment week!

Just finished installing SPC camber bolts up front and SPC adjustable LCA’s in the rear. I’m sitting at the alignment shop now. Car felt like an 8 year old boy being forced to clothes shop, dragging its feet the whole way here.

Took it in for the recall on the stereo... Left with a loaner after a few hours. Apparently my stereo didn't want the update and will take a couple of weeks to get a new one in.

Dropped it off at the dealer for the valve spring recall.

They gave me a 2019 Impreza. It's...comfy?

That has to be a stock photo, no way you got all the logos to line up that well!

I’m afraid that you are right. I have not installed the wheels yet. I will apply a ceramic coating this weekend. Hope to try on the wheels next week.

Nice, look forward to some pics.

I put CQuartz UK 3.0 on my summer wheels and it has made cleaning them so much easier.

Went back to e85 now that I'm settled down in florida. Since my last posting...I've installed a Verus rear diffuser, STi mirror caps, gotten the car ceramic coated, and a Dezod exhaust that will be changed out for an ARK when I can find one.

Put a whole set of STi wheels & tires in it

I'm constantly amazed by the cargo capacity of this tiny car.

What exactly is the ceramic coat? I have noticed a lot of debris, soda cans, rocks hitting my car and some small dings I have noticed on the body and windshield. Does the ceramic coat protects further damage to the car? I think small/tiny cars will get hit more than pickups or SUVs.
