Nice, I love the smell of new car!
FRS now has 1700 or so miles on it.. last few days of "staycation" have been put to good use effin off, surfing the internet and generally being a bum. and .. driving around for fun just because I can. Avg mpg is still 27.9 by the dash, 28.3 by my mathematics.. I'm inclined to say the dash is probably closer to accurate vs my dumb ass. So far I've swapped head units, put on the oem mudgaruds and changed the oil. I'll tell you what, changing the oil on this new FA engine platform is STUPID EASY! With the oil filter on top of the engine and a factory opening in the splash/skid pan for the drain plug it doesn't get any easier. Really nice not having to remove anything to do an oil change. Hopefully the impreza has the same opening in the splash pan.. removing that sucker was a pita on my WRX. I dunno about the normal impreza FA20 but the FRS takes 0-20wt .. its $9/qt at the zone and this little bear holds just under 6 quarts. A price I can live with for 5k-7500k intervals but damn.. will be nice when Mob1 starts selling that stuff in the bigger jugs.

Took the bugeye for an actual test drive rather than just running her on jackstands to find any leaks. Welp, found one as i drove around the neighborhood. Lost powersteering and as I pull into the driveway I see a drips from when i left and then a big pool of ps fluid. sigh.

Gave the Forester an ONR bath and dusted off the interior with a Swiffer sheet. The interior looks so much nicer when there's no dust bunnies.
Too bad my car looks nice and I have no time to go to meets. |

Talking about fuel issues... I think I need a new fuel pump sending unit. It never goes to F (Full) anymore. It use to go past F but now goes in between 3/4 and F. Getting the same MPGs but have to fill up sooner.

Continued from earlier. Thought the leak was the top banjo bolt on my p/s pump. used brake cleaner to clean everything up and a rag to dry up all the fluid. poured some fluid into the reservoir, every hose connection was dry, then i saw a pool forming on the block underneath the pump and now have a slight whine
Hopefully a rebuild kit can save my pump. also thinking about picking up the o-rings for lines near the rack. Perhaps even better hose clamps to and from the reservoir. I feel its better to take care of those weak spots at once rather than fix one thing to only cause another problem else where. |

I bet he does, car is ridiculous. Needs a little paint work but thats what I do. Ive been meaning to message him about the tune and some other questions. Ill be fixing the paint issues on the front and rear bumper and the front fenders but no big deal, maybe add some aeroguards and if I can ill trade the trunk and hood. I know alot of people like the scoopless and wingless look, and since it has a front mount it doesnt really need a scoop. But I can't help it, I love the scoop, and the I love the spoiler, its just not an sti without it. But well see. This look is growing on me. It does look super slick. |

Just finished up the passenger side valve cover gasket/seals/grommets. 15 min after, I drove around and can already see a very small amount of seepage....
-_- Gonna snug up the bolts a little more, and see where I am. Taking a break now. Edit: actually, I don't think it's leaking, hard to tell. I'm still taking a break lol, figure it out in a little while Last edited by ManualOverAuto; 12-30-2012 at 03:17 PM. |

Took some measurements of my powersteering lines. sometime this week going to get some worm clamps for the rubber pieces. Then thursday will be picking up my p/s pump rebuild kit from annapolis subaru. ran dry for about a mile, hoping it's still okay. Praying the rebuild kit + the o rings for the bottom portion of the lines will cure my leak and save my pump.
