Update on the wife's car since I did open that can of worms. Fixed the leaking brake line myself with new lines and fittings. Continued to chase down a wobbling issue at highway speeds and it ended up being blown struts all around. Replaced it all, LCA bushings too while I was in there, got...

Haha don't let them bully you into selling it! Baby will come, car can sit for a few years until you can tend to it again :P

Doesn't it feel good to know your kids' vehicles are mad easy to work on and cheap to maintain? lol

@LankyKiwi I've never encountered that one before lol.

Discovered my battery was still under warranty. Nothing beats a free battery. Went for a test drive last night and immediately felt a big difference in steering response with the new LCA's despite my alignment being out of wack. Car hasn't felt like this in a very long time! I'll give it a...

Managed to install the LCAs pretty quickly last night which only took about 30 minutes per side. Did run into a minor prank but I would say it's the best possible prank if that makes sense lol. One of the inaccessible/hidden nuts seems to have stripped or the welding came loose. Doesn't make...

It's always fun to see how much a vehicle costs to maintain year to year.

Happy new year everyone! The MSP finally made it back into the garage after a long saga of Subaru repairs. My goal for this year is to catch up on long awaited maintenance, get my windshield replaced, state inspection, then try to enjoy the car more often rather than watching it sit. Project...

This is how you don't break stuff every other week too lol

Just sharing my experience with gauge cluster LED bulbs that light up evenly! https://mazdas247.com/forum/t/cluster-led-lights-swap.123873537/#post-6703792

No shade taken! Personally I find them annoying to work on lol.

@LankyKiwi your notification brought me back here. No MSP activity and put on the back burner again lol. Wife's Subaru is back in the garage hogging up the tinker space. I'm chasing down a wobble (not a shake) issue at high speeds. So far the journey has been unpleasant. Found lower control...

Damn it's been a while. Wife's car has been fixed and been good for a while now. Where does the time go? Anyway, got a front wheel bearing and finally some Delphi lower control arms. Planned on grabbing a hydraulic press from Harbor Freight to do my wheel bearings but they're fresh out of stock...
