Don't forget polishing the rad support, and the inner fender, and the battery hold down, and the shock mounts, and the hood supports, and,,you get the picture.

Subaru recommends 1000 miles. vary the RPM's, but stay under 4k. (try to stay off the highway at constant RPM's for long periods of time.)

i didn't count routine cleaning and detailing. i bought the additional JDM engine covers so i have less stuff to keep "pretty" under there.

i mean, not chasing down electrical gremlins, fixing rattles, and wondering what's going to break next.....

No, no, with Chi ke, it's not routine, it's an obsession!





Polishing the drain plug, waxing the shocks, taking a toothbrush to the AC condenser fins, flossing the tachometer needle, you know, Chi ke stuff!
