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

Installed a legitimate FPR regulator (Aeromotive 13105) and gauge to replace the stocker that crapped out on me.

I'm glad that I read around here somewhere that stock pressure is an industry atypical 36psi!

Took the radiator out and had it cleaned there was so much filth inside that it was impeding the flow, Now I dont get any rise in the temps I am much happier.

Took the car to SVXFiles garage where he fixed my ATF leak, replaced my front sway bar bushings, adjusted my shifter and hooked me up with a very nice Sunroof Wind Deflector. Thanks man!

Brakes are done (caliper is from my '92 donor and new rotors and pads) and also had 4 studded snow tires installed on the OEM wheels.

And I replaced the left-rear side marker lens with one I found on eBay. It's got a similar cracking as my original one around the light socket hole, but not as bad. My '92 is cracked in the same way so I'm thinking it's a common flaw.
