better to assume it's going to take extra time than to assume less time and have to work too long on it!

Cleaned the seats and carpets on the BRZ I gotta tell you, this thing worked like a charm. Only had this vehicle for 10K Miles after purchasing it with 13K miles on it. You'd be surprised on how dirty the water was coming out. I highly recommend getting this cleaner or at least the compact one. Will upload the results later today. Bissell Pro Heat Revolution 2X

Installed my APEX Arc-8 wheels from the APEX group buy. 17x9+42 - Satin Bronze

Wrapped them in the new Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4 in 245/40-17 -- they look very sporty

Installed my Verus Engineering Carbon front splitter. Have it set @ 4inches to compliment the tS wing. Still need to do the Airdam and endplates on it too.


Also got a dent pulled from 2019.

Replaced the battery for the third time. Two Subaru warranty replacements have failed in a couple of years each and they have been on battery maintainers when not being driven. Purchased a Diehard Platinum group 34 this time. Time will tell how long it lasts.

Check the voltage of your maintainer and the float requirements of you battery. Sounds like it may be keeping the voltage to high and boiling out you battery. What maintainer are you using? I would go with Battery Minder, cost more but engineered well.

Raceseng lugs. The craftsmanship is absolutely exquisite and pictures don't do these justice.

No doubt there's nothing better than these lugs that cost more than the wheels themselves!

Swapped in a basic rear-view mirror and mounted a mirror based “dash” cam to it and mounted the included rear camera on the back window.

Also, drove the car in the rain for the first time. The grip pads on pedals are garbage. Foot slid off the clutch pedal twice.
