Is that the vinyl I sold you? Roof looks really faded. Must be the frost.

Yeah, it's the vinyl i got from you. It's the frost. In the light, without frost, the entire top half of my car is a gloss black, same as the pillars. And since the windows are pretty dark, it's consistent through out. There's a lot of overhead light in this picture.

Fresh oil and got all the lights but the fogs wired and working. Tomorrwo, if its not raining, I'm getting the fogs wired in. And yes, these are real fog lights, they put out nothing but yellow light.

End result...

Replaced the stripped hose clamp on top. It started dripping. I was so pissed at first cuz i thought i was going to have to take the covers and cam gears off (DOHC) but handy little 5/16 ratchet wrench proved its worthiness.

Replaced a drivers front cv axle that came complete with a sheared lower control arm on kids 93L. What I did to make it easier for me anyway this time was I tapped the roll pin in the cup prior to fitting it on the trans. Previously I had purchased a rather large magnetic punch from a flooring store to drive it home. Made life so much easier.

Put a nice 4 gauge wire fron the light bar to the body ground. Now, I know grounding won't cause any issues at all. Also, I got an idea for something to do when it snows, go to Sequim and drift around the round abouts a few times.

Made it to Breckenridge, Co after 23 hours of driving. Had a brake line failure, intense fog, overturned semi, almost ran out of gas after passing the last station for the next 60 miles and had to turn around. Boarding in the morning Vale, cant wait. But she was strong and kept us warm and dry. Thanks to my little Subie.

TurboXS has lots of boost spikes, I know because I have one...I'm gonna take it off.

And I hope you're intercooled, because your turbo will get HOT at 11psi, again speaking from experience.
