Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?
Installed the following:
The car is sitting in storage until my garage (and the house attached to it) are finished . I would recommend one so far based on the amount of current it was able to generate, even on a cloudy day. LINKY

Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?
The panel comes with a controller which trickles the charge to the battery. It has a built in 10amp fuse and connects as the middle-man between the battery and the panel.
It also protects the battery from being overcharged which is an important thing to note.

Most solar chargers just (and I have two instaled, into The Racer and The Claret, one each) plug into the 'cigarette lighter" socket, which is non functuioning when the key is off.

Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?
Did an oil change today. I usually use Mobil1 synthetic, but Advance Auto had a Quaker State synthetic special deal for $19.99!(5 Qts + filter). I bought an extra Qt and a pint of mystery oil additive.
I have an oil drain valve. It makes changing the oil very clean and easy. The valve is spring loaded but I added a hose clamp just for security

Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?
Finally installed 90% FULL Polish bushing set - it was an eye opener and got the use of a friendly mechanics 50 ton press ..... got the yellow ones (90SH) - just got the 10 minute mod & 1 minor rear pair to do now.
Also got the R1 Concept slotted & drilled rotors fitted - together with the steel braided brake lines (both from Dayle !! thanks buddy) - just PnP. Also EBC RedStuff brake pads. Man what a difference everything makes - the car handles much better, less body roll (still a little squeek every now & then that sure will iron out with age). The brakes are superb ....... Not sure if I need to even use the Koni inserts that have been sitting in boxes for over 8 years ??? Last edited by SURTEESS; 10-28-2013 at 11:06 AM. |

Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?
If u do put on a new gold iodized x drilled slotted rotor and caliper with new brake pads like I did. Go slow the first few miles. They don't stop to good at first. If you change the caliper do the rotors too. Do both sides.
