As for repairs/maintenance I've done brakes, tires, front sway links, one CV axle, a belt, oil changes and fuel. I've never even had to top up the coolant since I bought it 7 years ago. The tires I bought back then are at the end of life, so going bigger tires means getting everything else done.
WRX has come up well, looks good. My daily is an 03 Forester X, I love it, such a great allround reliable vehicle. Looking forward to the Forester build.
Thanks. The Forester really has been the best to me and does everything I really need. This first stage will make it more functional and replace much of the aged worn parts at the same time. I'm a little excited lol.
