Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?
Gave the Legacy's engine the Scrubbing Bubbles treatment. I'll probably give it another round soon to clean some of the more stubborn areas.
Before: After:

Found out snow tires are 14 years old and starting to seperate so im only using them if there is ice or chance of snow, also they vibrate like crazy at 60.

Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?
14 years old? I wouldn't even use them for a tire swing. I thought I was bad trying for a final year 7 out of mine which show just minimal sidewall cracking on one of them but they're also $300 a piece.

Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?
I never did really care for this one like I did for my Ebony.
I'll wait and keep looking for another one, they show up about twice a year around here. |

Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?
Picked up a new turbo for the Legacy, a VF52. It's the OEM turbo on the 09+ WRX and a direct bolt on for my car. With a tune and supporting mods it's capable of 280-320 WHP.

Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?
Picked up the refinished JDM BBS wheels from Transwheel. Refinished back to factory specs. The original finish had changed a lot compared to the BBS original color when new and when compared to a new BBS wheel they have in stock and new center caps.
They said it wasn't that the color itself had changed that much, but the 16-year old clearcoat had yellowed a lot with age. Outer rims will be satin-polished instead of a high-polish, and the mesh will be painted with correct BBS-code silver and crystal clear powdercoat over everything. Got the correct lug nuts and locks to fit under the new center caps. Also waiting on new BBS valve stems. They will be at Reading. Ask Green1995SVX how much the pearl color changed when he put on new clear coat over the new OEM pearl paint on his 92. .
