I'm baaaaack!

Post by smh0101 »

Hey everyone! Long time no see, errr... post?

But you'll all start seeing me around again after what? A two-year hiatus? I'm driving back to Washington in January (I know, worst possible month) and will be picking the Legacy up and driving it to Pittsburgh after spending a day or two getting it back to tip-top shape.

Still have my Lincoln, been missing the Subaru and need to get it out of my friends garage so they can make room for a pair of Factory Five 818's. Left Cutco a few months ago, now work for Apple. Salary and time off are nice things lol.

But yea, just wanted to say hello!

Maybe ;)

I'm working on a list of things to check/replace before I drive it out here. So far:

Brake Lines
Tires
(Make sure I have a spare, don't remember if I do)
Accessory belt (inspect/replace)
Clean Airfilter
Replace Spark Plugs
Replace Fuel Filter, check fuel lines
Check timing belt (What do you guys thinks? Its sat for almost two years should I just replace it?)
Change Oil
Change Tranny Fluid
Rear Diff Fluid


Anything I'm missing?

I would think the belt should be fine. But for the price of the belts, its not a bad idea. How long did it sit? Are you sohc still?

Oh wow, then yeah it may be a good idea. no clue what the stress ability is on the rubber for almost 2 years of not moving.

Too bad you cant see signatures in tapatalk. I wouldn't have had to ask.

Lol I was wondering why since my sig said what heads I have. But yea I think I'll add it too the list. Might as well since it will be easier to do it at the shop where its at then back here in Pittsburgh.
