CJ,

It looks good, that's interesting to hear it lowered your engine temps.

What ratio of antifreeze & water are you running? You should be running 50/50 and no less than about 35% antifreeze.

Here's a chart with the freeze protection & temps

Well it's a little late but yesterday and Monday i changed the oil in my car and installed my new wrx seats and man they are so nice I mean for being used an all but I recommend going out and finding some for yourself if you're not super keen about the seats that are in the car now (side note if you still have the auto seat belts like I do you will have to change out the buckle and do some modification to fit them on the new seat and have a functional lap belt)

Replaced the seat in my 95 L with a height adjustable one from a 96 Outback. The old seat felt like it had me sitting almost on the floorpan. The height adjustable one is sooooo much better its ridiculous.

Thought about going crazy with an outback suspension and brakes, 2.5 block, heated seats and mirrors, and leather/wood interior (all available at the yard). But I should probqbly get my TW running first...

Driver seat was kind of damp this morning....I think the weatherstripping has a leak in it. Do i just use any kind of adhesive or a specific kind? I bought a couple that both said they bond to rubber, but i'm slightly concerned.

Took my wagon rallying last week. I couldn't help it, I hadn't been on the gravel since the trans in my sedan went and that was about six months ago.. I really need to fix my rally car

added tubing under the weatherstripping in hopes that it would reduce the wind noise of the gussets.
