Shop Time w/T.W. Friends. Torque wrench on spark plugs, we need answers so cast your vote now

No sign of any let up here. Maybe by Tuesday

 

I saw you guys were pretty much getting hit all day yesterday. We at least got some breaks here and there.

Looking at the radar, that sucker is just sitting on top of you spinning.

 

Sunny & 85 here, no real rain most of the week.

I'm sequestered in the garage, a comfy 66 right now - AC ready if needed.

 

Anyone remember those buds I posted a few weeks ago? We’re having a banner year for lilacs up here! The smell is wafting into the house…

Edit to add a visitor:

 

I saw this very new deer on the way to the garage.



Mom was off to the left of the photo and said come here.



Yes mom!

 

R.T. Green Garage:
"Repair & Despair all under one roof."

I drove it in here...

 

Isn't this just about a P-I-T-A...

There are two hoses on the back of the bottom of the water pump...



It looks like this - out of the car.

 

Red neck blade sharpener. Screwed around w an old blade but w some tweaking I think I can get it dialed in for my gator blades

 

My condolences to you and your family. Nanny sounds like an amazing woman.

Good evening guys. I’ve been wide open the past couple of days but I think I’m caught up now. Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

 

Very sorry for your loss. It sounds like she had a great life and I’m glad you had the opportunity to be apart of it!

 

Goodnight everyone, sleep well

 

It's what makes a Subaru, a Subaru



Ours happened to be one of the worse vehicle we owned. Never again...

 

Like bein’ Noogied by Mother Nature itself without mercy.

 

Good morning everyone, I hope you have a pleasant Sunday

 

Good morning guys

 

Good morning everybody, have a great, safe and blessed Sunday

 

My WRX has more maintenance costs than any of my other vehicles. It was fun when I got it but I agree, no more Subarus for me.

 

Mine had an issue with the DCM draining the battery and the part was on indefinite backorder so they left the fuse out. Well that caused the front door speakers not to work.

Then it developed a nasty oil leak. Most of them seep, but mine was dripping on the floor. They had to pull the motor out to re-seal the whole things. Still have that oil spot in my garage

Shortly after getting it back I just started noticing things weren't put back together right.

Final straw was the CVT was going out, and fast. Nope, not going through this crap again. Traded it for a Toyota.

 

Ooof. That’s worse than mine.

Alternator, radiator twice, water pump, both front CV joints, all shifter linkage bushings, and something else I’m forgetting right now for me. It has the oil seepage too and burns about 3/4qt between oil changes but with the turbo that’s not uncommon.

 

I really wanted to like it as it was a tank in the snow. But, I was tired of it sitting at the dealer more than my own garage.
