The new owner of my old tS sent me this photo. I told him to keep the winter tires on until at least April. Yeah it sucks, they wear out so much faster on warm, dry roads.

I managed to swap wheels and wash the car in 45 minutes. Rinseless washing is way more efficient if car isn't filthy to start. |

Mine's been doing it for about a year now. The sound makes my teeth hurt. One of these days I'll break down and buy the tool I need to remove the drivers seat. I think that would make the job a little easier. |

Does anyone know what this fastener is called? It's like a reverse torx.

It's called E-Torx (for External) or external star. Interestingly enough I bought a set of E-Torx sockets thinking I'd need to take out the seats for some modifications, only to discover that they changed to a regular hex bolt in the 2017 facelift.

You'll be calling it plenty of things if you round that head even the smallest bit

Do yourself a favour and replace those stupid E-Torx bolts with the 2017+ hex bolts. Mine started rounding a bit after a handful of removals. Part numbers are SU003-07863 if buying from Toyota or 901120153 from Subaru. |

Drove it at Summit Point for an SCCA HDPE. Yesterday was my first time on track since September, due to a driveline noise. Unfortunately, life has been getting in the way since last year, so I missed the first event at the beginning of March and I only finally got to working on the car last weekend. As a result, I did the rear hub bearings (which was the plan for this winter anyway) and the left axle at the same time. Therefore, I can't say for sure what the source of the noise was. The important thing is that the noise is gone and I had a blast yesterday and today.
Next will be to tear down the axle and look for signs of damage. Go Fast, Take Chances |
