Just need to fix the drivers seat up a bit.
Super glue or black stitching :P

I like to think of it as borrowing someone's car and driving it better than them.

Just need to find the door cards to match, as I have the dark cloth. Or just cover them in seat covers, will most likely do this.

I just have the RX door cards still, and the RX rear seat. Doesn't look too bad!

Those seats are too nice to cover up!!!

Bottle of Delvac = ~$40
Oil filter = ~$15
Air filter = ~$20
UEC = ~$12
Tyre rotation = $0
Visual inspection of everything = $0


Service = $87

Done!


Your paying too much :P

20L of delvac cost me $120 and i reckon i got ripped off paying retail like a sucker.

My dad took his outback to Cross road subaru for some servicing done. They said he needed a few new bushes, charged him for it and kept the car a few extra days. They were supposed to drop the car back at home but got lost for an hour gave up and went back. (My house is a 10min drive)

The bushes were never changed. The centre caps of the tyres were missing.

Next time dad needed work done he went to Regal subaru in town and he was reallt happy with their service.

Servicing yourself is pretty simple. Just get a workshop/service manual. Step by step instructions follow them and you can't go wrong. Then you know everything has been done properly

@Mark - haha I don't actually pay those prices. Bulk buy FTW! That's what they retail for though, and $87 is a hellova lot cheaper than $400 for the same thing ;)

Its what i use. Cant say i tell the difference between magnatec, penrite semi synthetic or delvac. Delvac is cheaper and meant to have good cleaning properties.

Turbo dudes rave about it and the Na engines arent exactly that different.

My mums old NA gen1 was way way way over due for an oil change, tappets were loud as. When i put delvac in after a few hundred km the tappets quietened up.

Sorry its offtopic, move it to whatever area suits best :)
