Subaru repair and other tips!

Have you tried out this current Outback feature? I'm really amazed with the quality and ability of this system.

-

And while I don't want all the fun to be removed from driving. When you are driving multiple hours per day with the family it can help reduce some fatigue and stress that comes from those long days behind the wheel.

-

I recently updated our 2026 Outback and had the ability to use it this last week and I can't get enough of it. The system seems incredibly well sorted and I did experience any issues over my 500+ miles of driving so far. It will warn you if it needs you to take over, but the system was able to do 90% of the driving once on the highway.

-

Looking forward to the next upcoming miles of my trip. Should be smooth sailing.

How do you protect your leather wheel and car products? Since picking up my steering wheel from
I have used .usa products to keep it protected.

-

In order to keep the leather looking top notch and protected from my finger oils, I reapply at the first sign of shininess or six months. Whichever comes first..

-

With that said there are a few other products that I use. First is their Interior detailer, followed by a coat of Leather coat and then Preserve.

-

If you are looking for further details on the process head over to blingstrom.con and find it within the Diy/How to section.

Model Ts anyone? Forgot about this from last week, it sure was a good time.

-

Plenty of unique vehicles around at this Cars and coffee. Especially the wildly entertaining Model Ts with their unique factory options and just old school ways of doing things.

-

Plenty of other great cars as you can see from the last few images. Just not enough time to talk about them all. I also really enjoyed this piece of cardboard on this dash with many toggle switches.. 🙃

Which do you prefer? I used to be all in on the Usdm units. I thought I needed the orange reflector because my cause was so monotone.

-

But starting at Jdm photos and bidding on Japanese parts finally changed my mind.

-

My current setup is Usdm Sti headlights with the Jdm internals for the more simple clean look.

-

Maybe one day I'll change my mind and go back but for now these fit the bill.

Did you grow up on paper manuals or digital? I feel like I was in between both generations but I certainly miss flipping through pages and marking them for later.

-

It just doesn't feel the same as hitting the bookmark button on the browser.

-

My old store was moving a few years back and these were destined to go. So I did my best to fill a Crosstrek to the roof and store them at work.

Rainy week means I'm missing out on driving my car to and from work. Better post up a fun photo from prior enjoyable driving experiences.

-

This one was taken last year when we had some deep fog that you can see in the background. I'm surprised more of it didn't show up in the foreground, but I think it was starting to evaporate when I got out here.

Which type of up-pipe do you prefer? Maybe a v-band or 3 bolt fl**ge is more up your alley. I've always thought the flex joint offered in the Grimmspeed made sense. As my Map elh removed the factory expansion joint.

-

For those of you looking to put a new or upgraded up-pipe in your Subaru engine bay, here is my guide I put together on Blingstrom.com

-

Step by step photos, along with tools necessary and links for parts. Everything you need is here to make your life easier.

Had a great afternoon out with the Airslayer and their crew!

-

This is my first time seeing the Airslayer in person. What a fantastic piece of engineering and fun. With as much carbon fiber as a car can be equipped with.

-

It was certainly a small gathering but the people who made it out, made it a worthwhile event. I was able to post up with Ben and his S402 tribute.

Peep some of my favorite cars from last night's Car meet

-

Of course I generally am drawn into Japanese models, I still love a unique or special car from any backgrounds. Not too my Subarus out and about. But this hatch was very nice.

Any events you are going to this weekend? Here in KC is having their Friday night meet.

-

And tomorrow will be at Subaru of Olathe to show off a few cars. Should be a pretty good weekend!

-

Didn't have enough time to get a super detailed clean, but this gets the car presentable.
