New tires on the STi wheels..... I guess the speed rating is enough

I finally installed my driver's mat holder I had on my previous SVX. Now my mat doesn't slide around under my feet, much nicer!

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

I didn't do anything myself except research, ordering parts, logistics and drawing my card:

* New bearings and hubs rear
* New EBC discs and pads all around
* 4 fully refurbished alus - treated, powder coated, painted and laquered.
* 4 Toyo Proxes C1S mounted

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

Took it to a car show. I saw a guy taking pictures of it . I asked if he had an intrest in SVX . He said yes. , I bid on that car on e bay last year, I said there are more out there I gave him a card. He said yeah but not is such good shape as that one. I said thanks and keep looking. It is not for sale .

I have Nokian on my SVX both summer and winter and have had them on my other cars. Think they are great and the service excellent. They live up to their reviews.
Quote:
Nokian Z G2 tyre is the test winner in the 2012 summer tyre tests of the German car magazines “Auto Bild”, “auto Test”, “gute Fahrt”, and “Auto Bild allrad“.

The top ratings of “Auto Bild exemplary”, “auto Test test winner”, “auto motor sport especially recommended“, “gute Fahrt recommendation” and “Auto Bild allrad exemplary” show the outstanding qualities of Nokian Z G2 summer tyre of the world’s leading winter tyre specialist in the respective test report.

Finally got my powder coated intake installed along with new translucent white silicone hoses all around and painted the fuel/vacuum metal lines silver. Also did the wiper hose the same and am doing the cruise control hose also.
