I need to do this with my T2's this weekend so they can go up for sale. Not looking forward to it.

I hate putting things back in and then having to paint mark and watch and re-tighten and watch...because I know if I don't, I'll be needing to sue Subaru or something because of my bolts

Wanna wash my car but the rainy season isn't quite over yet. Forecast derailed my weekend plans to make it super shiny. And use some weather stripping for the louvers to prevent air getting under them.


I did, however, upgrade my front plate from wedged in the windshield to suction cupped to the windshield.

Got my car back yesterday, replaced shot manual gearbox with a stage 1 with carbon synchros 2-4th gears filled with amsoil and exedy clutch. Rear hubs replaced as well. Need new tires and shocks (better to get a coilover kit)

Swapped the front passenger ignition coil pack, for the second time ~
Darn P0351 CEL.
I kind of wish I did my spark plugs .. but also too lazy to deal with that work load.

Also swapped out the dead bulb behind the ventilation control knob.


And swapped out my 2013 knee pads for the +2014 ones (muuuch better).

Spent more money

Ordered a "heartbreaker" mirror from import bible and pulled the trigger on a CSG touring catback. Should have done this last year instead of messing around with other CBs
