OMGHi2U Not Me for the Day

Detailed it, for the most part. Nice wash and dry at Mt. View car wash yesterday.

Today I vacuumed the seats, floor and trunk mat, wiped down the entire interior, including door panels and trunk mat, and cleaned out the cupholder.

I'm letting my buddy borrow it for the day while he takes his wife out for their anniversary. Be sure to wave if you see them driving around!

Well all oil was cleaned up the best i can in these cold conditions!!!! Lost about 1qt of oil. Being scoopless should vastly improve that problem from happening.

From what he told me, he thought it was as he was getting into Fairbanks. I met up with him for the parts, just inside of town, and he just found it.

Update on Battery gig:

Well it was -49F ish when i parked the car at UAF.

It warmed up to -40F for a couple hours before I finally got out of lab at 5-6pm - It WAS plugged in since I parked it at 9am though. UAF cycles their plug ins off/on every 15 minutes - I checked my autostart for inside temp and it registered -39F.

Hit start, and it started up just fine. I don't think capacity is a problem when it's this cold and have things set up right

Parking lot 4xing.



6 coats of plasti dip over 2 coats of primer (bonds and holds better vs just bare rim). Rear sits higher than front with an empty trunk with no spare and sits close to level still no ass sag with a full trunk of tools.

Looks like you need Forester trailing arm brackets to move the rear wheel back to the proper position.

Just phoned Dooley and should have a set to pickup tomarrow. Forester trailing arms are installed already and the brackets should complete the rears being centered.
