nice to see someone with a backup plan!

Thanks! Nice alternative to potentially messing up the pinch welds with jackstands without pinch weld blocks. I wanted to get a quickjack just because they offered pinch weld blocks

Pretty sure that was less than what I got them for!!!!

If yours comes with liquid thread sealer, skip it. I used it, and mine leaked ATF. Good thing I remembered I had actual thread sealer/plumbing tape. Fixed the leak in no time. Take your time with the initial set up, and bleed it properly

Ordered some header flange bolts.

Toyota wanted $2 per, Subaru wants $8 LOL.

$12 vs $50

I hit a kangaroo. Actually last week, not today. I was doing 100 on a country road just before dawn and barely saw it before I hit it.

Barely any damage to the front of the car. Need a new headlight, fog light, bumper, grill, side guard... No engine damage, radiator damage, suspension damage... All good.

But the f&$king airbags deployed.

They’re fixing it, but the bill (paid for by insurance) is over twenty grand. That’s just nuts.

My car is two weeks short of its second birthday. I suspect the 2 year new for old replacement clause was the deciding factor.

RToyo86 · 12-03-2020, 09:04 AM

I'm surprised they are fixing it with 20k in repair damage.

Good to hear you get to keep it.

Edit: played with OFT and flashed V4 stage 1 tune while I wait. Not much of a power improvement, car pulls healthy but overall it feels smoother. Maybe that's a throttle mapping difference.

You're really lucky. Usually airbags is an automatic total. I never understood why they cost so much to replace.

Quit procrastinating and finally ditched the fugly sound tube assembly in the engine bay

Not today, but quite recently I designed and organized "Triple Turn Indicator" on my 86 using 555 timer. The car is 2012 and initially came without it. Here's a short vid about the process:
