Did you loose the right or the left? Maybe we could share a set.

no i do not have clips of the crossing. the camera i used was fixed to the passenger seat and could not be removed without major headache. so the only video i have is of me driving the route.

SubaruParts.com is a great resource for looking for OEM part numbers though. Just register and once you figure out the interface, it's way better than trusting some guy at a parts counter to look it up.
Happy to see that things worked out for you guys and that there was so much fun to be had. To bad I missed out on this drive, oh well; I just wasn’t physically up to it.
Hopefully after spine surgery this week I can come out on future drives. Look forward to seeing all of you again in time. Rally on!

how the hell are you. sorry that the drama of your back continues. but hey at least you know how to have fun when you are feeling good.
You need know or remember that i have one of your megaphones at my house. last summer when you came on that drive you lent it to me and well now it's at my place. sorry.

i've begun the hell that is detailing a car after a full out rally. man, there is dirt "EVERYWHERE" hell, i do it all the time but i never get use to how f**ked up the car gets. dirt in trunk, speakers, clovebox, stereo, under the spare tire. everywhere.
the outside looks good, got my 17" grey steel tarmac's back on. washed the struts and brakes. detailed the stainless brake lines
now back outside to do the inside. better change the vaccuum bag.

...or find differences in parts for people doing modifications...
...but then again, what should I expect from my dog getting on the computer and posting??

I did a first pass vacuum of the inside, because I had to do laundry... some of the dust had to go!
So far I've left the outside dirty... I think it looks good like that!
Also, I cant use my 6 disc changer anymore, since it's become so full of dirt that it destroys any disc you feed it.
Do I give a sheite?
Nay!

You may be very capable at your job. Maybe you make it your personal mission to always find the exact part the customer is asking for. Maybe you are a pleasure to work with.
However all signs are pointing to you being a giant douche. Get over yourself Dude.
I recently spent 15 minutes on the phone with our local Suby Parts Counter (Lithia, Reno) and once he was "sure" he found the right part number for my OEM camber bolts, I looked on SubaruParts.com and learned he had ordered the bolts for the lower holes which are not camber bolts.
Can you honestly blame me for suggesting people look things up for themselves?

I'm about to go do my monthly once-over on the exterior and interior. Takes me 2-3 hours.
