I ordered a new metal brake line. Should be here this Wed so I should hopefully install it this weekend and get my SVX ready for Reading

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

Took my Vortex to work. It's such a pleasure to drive.
Ordered $1000+ worth of parts for the engine being fitted into my car.
Replacing most of the cooked vacuum hoses, oil seals, timing belt and idlers.

Yp quarter cut is to repair our poor baby.... See kids. The lesson is never try to avoid hitting old people.. You just end up messing up your own car and they drive away as if nothing ever happened...

Beautiful car!

I tracked down my last vacuum leak, my block off plate for the egr had sheared a bolt, threaded the hole and found a bolt and washer to close it up, running and idling smooth now.

Are those polished clear coated OEM wheels? I remember a car with those at the 10th Anniversary meet.

Thanks! I know. The previous owner didn't know about the direction of the wheels and put on unidirectional tires. Of coarse, two of the tires are on backwards!
I'm going to have to take to the shop and have them flipped around.

Worked on the Pearlie today. Installed my glass Euro Headlights, Clear Corners, polished the Waterfall Grille and installed the rear Euro Center Light Garnish!

Sorry about the links to the photos. I'm having issues with Photobucket.
Very nice pearly. Makes me miss mine... I like the euro tail bar, looks great. Digging JDM corners too; I have them on both of mine, they just look so much better than the stock ones. You have good taste, sir.
