When was the last time you pulled a fuel pump basket on a Subaru? The motor is going to be exposed at about half.

I've not given any opinion on pumps burning out (its never been an issue for me personally), just giving details on how everything works in there.

Installed SPC 81260 and 81280 camber bolts. Achieved ~2.6-2.7 degrees on an otherwise stock suspension. Toe required a fair amount of adjustment as expected.

Ii would love to hear the lap times of this car when stock (other than fluid & pads, because that's my plan when I get one). I know it can vary greatly depending on driver skill / experience. But please share your experience, and lap times if you don't mind.

are camber bolts recommended to run even on stock suspension, or do plan on upgrading?

i can't remember if I did camber bolts with my rce yellows on the first gen or not...

edit: and on topic, summer tires are back on. Its been around 5C here, and my winters were basically chewing gum at that temperature. This is the only situation where switching to the Primacys gives more grip

I want to keep the winters on for couple of weeks more. Its still in the negatives in the mornings + I know the Premacies will have a lot of wear this summer, so I want to give them as much life as possible

Yeah I went back and forth between changing then for a while, but I also have a second car that'll be in winters for another week or two probably, just in case.

Put the new wheels/tires on. Just need to get some miles (only at 200 currently) and it will be ready for autox in a few weeks.

I got the windows tinted today!

Also, I'm contemplating going with the red Subaru badge, what do you think?

Nice, looks good! Where did you get your tint done?

The red badge looks good. I have the white one on mine, looks good too, worth a look.

Hit a tire tread on the interstate on ramp yesterday morning.

The bumper is a bit cracked, and the insert is missing.

Anybody have a right hand bumper insert laying around after putting the LED liner in?

[jyelen]

Sweet, thanks! The place I went to did fine on everything except the back window, it looks off to me, like gaps on the border of the back window where the black texture (dots?) are at. They left a couple of bubbles on my wife's car, too, so not happy with them. I've been wanting to find a different place to see if they can re-do the back.

I was planning on trying Motul DCTF after break in. Cold shifting still better with this fluid?
