the high beam shines up into the tree's unless you adjust it down. it's also helpful to have a few tweaks up yet to adjust for a trunk load of stuff like on road trips

also, few seem to care, but i did a how-to a while back with a spare adjuster. i love the infinite adjustment it offers.

I think we are in the presence of an expert. I just can't believe the amount of "stuff" going into the little Twin..

I see some Ex Tretris generation experience going on here...

Still tripping on the guy lines at 3 am after all these years...

Great camping car, spent close to 2 months last year August/september camping out of one.. Already at 39K Km (24k miles) after only a year...

1. Fumoto valve and oil change.

2. Cut and clear coated carbon side markers.

3. Installed keyed steering column. Allows manually locking/unlocking steering and provides a place for my keychain that isn’t any of the limited storage space. Electronic lock relocated to the back side of knee plate mount. Note: internal steering shaft is different between push start and key start cars; lock mechanism not interchangeable, so column swap required.

folding those useless backseats creates an amazing space for outdoor activity.

After a few months of piecing together a set of used 4-pot/2-pot calipers to rebuild and DIY powdercoat. I finally got them finished and installed with some DBA 5000 fronts and 4000 rear rotors.

Was a long time SWRT fan and have a soft sport for Prodrive, and as these calipers were on the P1 Impreza I don't feel bad about putting their name on them.

Love it. I am a Prodrive fan as well. I may have to do this on my 04 WRX when the brakes need a rebuild.

Technically anything defined as "junk" won't make a finely crafted temporary abode.. I will head over to the referenced thread as it may contain some insight. If I don't surface then you are to blame..

The phrase may have lost something in translation....

I was only messing with you.. my trunk's junk consists of some non junk items, 2 puncture repair kits with 2 electric pumps ( Subaru OEM and one aftermarket). One footpump, a medium size bag containing car cleaning stuff. And, my sister-in-law's wedding guest book, still in its wrapper... She had given me the book to take to the wedding venue, I placed it in my trunk and you can guess the rest...
