Is there someone on the brake? If not, that is pretty extreme.

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

If you want much brighter brake and tail lights, you can't do better than "Brite Bulbs" from Ron Francis Wire Works. Blows everything else out of the water and a lot cheaper than the PIAAs.

That's all I use.

I cleaned it for around 9 hours in preparation for Japanese car day tomorrow. I don't feel embarrassed leaving my hood open now.

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

After a long wait / hunt, I have now installed a set of silver BBS 05 STI wheels in almost-mint condition, wrapped with new Nexen N6000's, to go with the new paint job on my 92 Ebony.

It looks very nice indeed.

Ran around town asking people "hey can you fix my radiator" and getting a lot of grim faces.

My low beams don't switch off when the highs go on. I thought they were supposed to? It's bright as ****.

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

So I bought new rear wheel bearings cause I could've sworn thats what the noise was. I began taking the hubs off to have the new bearings pressed in. In the process of taking the parking brakes apart I discovered the bottom spring by the adjuster was unhooked from one of the shoes and rubbing on the ABS rotor thing.
I'm so happy the noise is gone.....and I have a set of bearings and seals for when I do need them
