Black WRX was from '02 to '05, blue from '06 to '07, and silver from '08 to '12. Not pictured are a Silverthorne '00 RS coupe, two '95 Legacy L sedans, and a '94 Impreza L sedan :)

Nice pic from the last Tri-State drive up to the Hawk's Nest:

Also cleaned up and re-DEI'd my intercooler, because spaceship:

Winters are on. Still deciding whether I'll take the lip off, or if the first snowbank will.

Shortest Winter season ever. Lip made it through unscathed!

My driver's side rear endlink (AVO adjustable) gave up a few threads and wouldn't stay together, so I found a used pair of AVO 70mm solid ones on fleaBay for 80 bucks. Having had one AVO link fail already, it probably wasn't the wisest move, but, fixed for now (will eventually go KartBoy). Job took 10 minutes, for once!

So nice to have that rear sway bar back in play, the car is on rails again :)

 

Also made the switch to the taller Tokyo Roki Mazda RX-8 oil filter (PN# N3R1-14-302), definitely a sturdier bit than the FRAM-supplied OE Subaru blue. More filter area is a good thing, too!

It was the Saabaru's turn for some attention today... finally took off the stock wheels and all-seasons that came with the car. They were a little chewed up, so the BBS made a nice difference, visually. Going from A/S tires to Conti DW was also nice :)

Also changed the engine oil ('tella & RX8 Toyo), and gear oil. Now running M1 Delvac 75w90... it's amazing in both the spec B's 6MT and the Saabaru/LGT 5MT. BOTIG threads say that the composition of this oil is closest to the original Subaru Extra-S. I believe it, both gearboxes feel really good after changing over. Can't recommend it enough.

 

Another thing, I'd like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the weather on the NW coast, and the previous owners for garaging this car, because for a 2006, it's pretty darn clean under there:

Judging by my tire-changing speed, I wouldn't make it too long on a NASCAR pit crew... but the jack does the job. It was 30 bucks cheaper than the nearest competition (all the same low-profile aluminum jack, just with different brand names), AND you can order a seal rebuild kit from JEGS for cheap.

Really? That's pretty damn awesome. Might have to add that one to the collection.

 

One can never have too many floor jacks.

Here are a few pics from Sunday's C&C. Brought the real camera this time; still learning how to use it!

I love that m6 . Ive been looking months for a clean one.

 

Was talking to that guy for a while, he brought his dad along with him. The car was awesome, one of my all time faves. His buddy brought his early 90's MB E500, which I didn't get a good pic of. Another favorite!
