Been doing a lot with the Subaru
Removed the borked tints from the rear windows and flew a little too close to the sun with the heat gun, so a new window channel strip ordered, derp!
Removed windscreen stickers
Removed bobbling from the headliner
Gave it a good clean
Had the hill hold light on, thought it was an error, thankfully not, it was just turned off
Gave it a good run a few times, brakes are pitted at the front unfortunately. Discs and pads not expensive even though it has the STi Brembo calipers up front, bonus
Polished up a few small scuffs to see what Im working with, not bad thankfully but the bonnet vent is needing repainted so Ill get them all done at the same time, just getting prices
I had a Spec C badge, but when I put it on, it just didnt look right, so off it came with the heat gun (safely)
Ordered:
Window seal/strip for the back after it melted a little
New drilled discs and pads
New coin cubby thingy, the one in it doesnt close properly
It drives well, really flies after 3500rpm. Id been taking it easy for a few hundred miles and now give it some push and it doesnt disappoint. It feels really light compared to most modern stuff, some alloy panels etc on the Spec C, no boot trims, so it feels a bit rally-car-ish. Its not the easiest thing to drive, but i think im too used to autos these days. Feels raw, but then, so it should.
Will be going into JM Imports or MB Performance for a tune in a few weeks hopefully once the items above are fitted. New fuel pump and filter will go on for the tune at the same time.
