Best oil by far.
So I tried doing an oil change, bit as I get ready start my dad calls and asks me to ask if I can do one for him because he's driving to Texas and wants me to do it to save money. He gets to my house and tells me he is on his way that moment and needs it done now, so I end up burning myself draining the oil and replacing the filter. So in other words I will do my oil change tomorrow. Not feeling it today.
This weekend painting the stocker wheels black, possibly going to paint the calipers blue or green since everyone does red or just leave them black, install the new corner light covers and delete the lights, already painted them black because apparently cheap ebay covers are chromed out jersey shore gay. So my color scheme of the car will be black on silver. Pics will be posted when done. Also going to attempt to install the prosport manual boost controller Vermont was gracious enough to supply me with. Thanks again Mark, greatly appreciated. Already swapped out headlight bulbs last night for new silverstars and mounted the STi trunk badge and grill badge so I wont get asked if I have AIDS when people see IGOTASTi :doh:

Dude hit me up if you need help with the pro-sport install man.
Looking good pal.
I called three weeks ago to get the quote and it was in the 430 to 450 range for the tune and injector install, I called today to set up the appointment and they lost the information in the computer about my mods and what the quote was, so they tell me 300 for the tune and 275 for the injector install. Im not trying to hate on them but the lack of organization has got me worried about taking the car there. Ive heard nothing but good things but this isnt a 10 dollar miscount, 130 bucks, what are they going to do if I take my car there " hey thatll be 650 bucks". Then the guy wouldnt stop telling me to buy a grimmspeed ebcs while I kept telling him Im on a budget and have mbc. Not impressed.
Called every local tuner, apparently if you've been on Discovery Channel or been on the cover of import tuner that justifies you charging $225/hr for a tune minimum 2 1/2 hrs and $185 for the injector installation to a total of $700 approximately. Called my original tuner back got everything squared away $300 flat rate for the tune and $175 for a grand total of $475. One tuner told me he wouldnt tune my car unless I bought an EBCS, because I quote "Im the best tuner in the entire southeast when it comes to Subaru's!"
