My love for maintenance has been rekindled for the moment. I haven't really touched anything on the car since... who knows.
I took some nice pictures on my drive down a mountain (and video the whole way up). Somehow I made it without studded tires, ABS, what I presume is a bad wheel bearing, and that twisted control arm. Must be nice to live in this neighborhood.

Been giving the engine a general tune up all day. Sprayed lithium grease into my MAF connector on accident. Must be time to call it a night.
Pretty sweet trail of blow-by on the rear of the engine coming from the airbox. It leads down the right crankcase ventilator giving the appearance of a leaking valve cover.

Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?
The car rewarded my efforts to replace the jumpered NSS with a proper clutch switch by leaking fluid from the PS rack profusely. Ugh. Hoping it's just o-rings.

Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?
That's how mine looked when I bought the car !
Found out my PS leak was the high pressure hose- leaking at the seam between the hose and the fitting. Time for a new one. |

Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?
Wow, nobody has done anything their cars recently. At least nothing worth sharing I guess!
Here's what I did today: I swapped the passenger side hood strut with one from my parts car. It's not quite as good as it should be but at least I don't have to constantly be afraid it's gonna take my head off One of the bolts broke when I was taking the bad one off, so I drilled and tapped the hole and replaced the bolts with stainless.

What is the strongest strut to get ? Where do you buy it? NAPA were the last ones on the car.

Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?
I'm curious about this too. My friend needs to do his so I'm looking for the easiest/cheapest option. How-to's didn't offer much.

Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?
No idea. Like I said in the first post, I took this one off my parts car and painted it before putting it in. At least the hood doesn't slam every time I turn around now - just every other time!
P.S. A lot of people use vise grips
