Hello,
Jase, just do it FFS. Fly up for HVC, you'll bloody love it man!
There's so many brothers here who's rides you can pick n choose to go in on the day, there's so many places you can crash at, there's so many cubts that will pick you up & drop you off at the airport.
forking put your foot down, cubt.
You forking need this and you know it!
No pressure, mate 
I hear you brother and yes, I do need this.
I have no doubt whatsoever that the SC crew will unite, but I am now working the Friday. I could have refused, but at the moment I need as much work as I can due to my increased expenses.
You're welcome to come in the Hyundai film car. It's boring AF, but has comfy suspension.
Happy to have you in my wagon, and I don't mind picking you up and dropping you off at the airport either. 
Cheers guys, much appreciated.
I had to change one of the oil filled caster bushes on mine along with my timing belt service last week. I walked away $3 shy of $1500 lol. I feel like it needs a wheel alignment this weekend, the mechanic doesn't have the capability.
For reference one of those bushes is $220 from Subaru, he only charged me $30 to fit it.
Pedders (Hahaha) do a solid one for around $100 IIRC, I fitted some to the ex's RX a while ago. Seem OK but I would obviously prefer OEM but these seem to do the job without any creaks or groans.
