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

Put a new cap on the radiator and filled it with fluid. Put on 3 of my 4 driveshaft bolts.. Couldn't get the diff to turn to reach the last one. I hope that isn't a bad sign.

I apparently need some gaskets where my headers meet exhaust.

What do they put on the roads in Alaska?
Dirt and gravel, when they get around to it. I actually do the same thing, just not in blue, and powdercoat what I can.

Did you turn the wheel or try to turn the driveshaft?

That's what I did with mine. I used 100w, 8000k bulbs.
You're right! Big difference!

Performed TSB repair on "Premature turn signal cancellation" last night. Man, that was irritating to have the turn signals click off all the time before the turn...

Went to Ecology Wrecking and found both door panels and the driver's seat back for my baby today! (not that mine were in bad shape, but I wasn't as careful as I should have been, in my younger days, and put a few nicks in them)

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

It's kinda been "what have you done to your SVX week".

Monday- My brother and I worked on the pearl SVX.

Tuesday- Detailed my Claret SVX and my brothers Sebring he's trying to sell.

Wednesday- Nothing too much today except driving SVX.

Tomorrow- picking up the title for the pearl SVX so I can get temp tags and drive it home. Pulling some parts off Killer Tomato.

Friday- Maybe do an oil change on the Claret.

The seat back was only about $10. The passenger one was already gone. (that's the one I needed more)

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

My new Energy Suspension rear sway bar bushings came today.
I would've installed them but...



I decided to go snowmobiling instead
