A wild Keith appears!

Thought I had an oil leak coming from the motor.. turns out it was the power steering pump. So replaced that a few weeks ago.

Also put the summer set up back on, even though it was snowing a couple weeks ago :lol::lol:

You put the blurple on or the red on?

Got a new garage door motor. New remote is not compatible with homelink mirror now...annoying.

That sucks!

Red is for summer and the chrome purple is the winter set up :)

The car lives!

Honestly hadnt even driven it in over a month as the battery died.
I jumped it once and drove it around, but wasnt enough to charge it up. On top of also not driving it regularly.

Dropped the Crosstrek off at a shop and they'll have it for the week. So the STi is the DD for this week.

y tho?

What was wrong with the old tires?

Looking at the tread design, those are nearly same as bridgestone RE7xx (yeah, same company, I know). They're cross-pollinating.

I drive the STI only a few times a week, but I try to make sure every week. That's why I put a yellow top in it lol. Have been travelling so much, didn't want it to die.

So four new ones :ohwell:

The ones you can see in the back of the Crosstrek were the old ones (new ones in front of those). The old ones were Bridgestone [color=#000000]RE760, so pretty close ;)[/color]

[color=#000000]In reality, ive been driving the STi closer to once every two weeks lately.[/color]

[color=#000000]And of course, after doing all this work, I think ive got a gnarly exhaust leak now :( Maybe on the OEM up pipe, or possibly the header. Cant tell for sure right now, but the car is up in the air till I figure it out haha[/color]

Couldn't patch it?

Rumor is the Firecawks are rebranded Bridgestone RE003. Which people also seem to like. But they've been one of the worst tires I've ever driven on.

I didn't notice TWO sets of tires in the car lol. Man, that's why I bought a wagon again too :) Trying to carry any decent amount of stuff, even one set of 18" tires, in the sedan blows.

I am running NT-05s on the STI. Love them, but got a nail in one not too long ago too. Was able to patch, but they're right at the wear indicators so will need some soon too.

beyond repair :(

and they were a little over 4 years old, so I got some time out of them.

Yea I was super happy to see I could EASILY fit 2 sets in there. Probably 3 fairly easy if I moved them around a bit.

Car will more than likely be going up for sale very soon.

Yea.. August will be 3 years since I did the motor. Ive put on just over 7,400 miles on it so far lol.

Paying over $2k a year for insurance for it to mainly sit around.
