Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?

Over the last month:

New MAF
New O2 sensors
New valve covers & valve cover gaskets
New brake fluid, oil change .. no new tranny fluid as tranny was flushed and fluid replaced just prior to storage. Oh, and new tires for 1,000 kilometres before putting the car away.
New plugs.


The car had been sitting covered in a garage since late 2007.

It is now totally rejuvenated.

I just spent the last two days doing minor cosmetic work to the driver's seat with a leather restorer, as well as rubbing the f*&^k out of the car's paint with Meguiar's Ultimate Compound.

Did a hell of a job, did that stuff. Got rid of swirl, haze and quite a few scratches.

I swear my SVX looks almost as good as when I got it with 40,000 kilometres on the odometer 13 years ago.

Oh .. and I drove it. Nice ! 140km/hr down Highway 99 with one finger resting on the steering wheel
