Baby in good spirits... :-)
Yes, Baby has a maintenance log too. She's so nice and new one would wonder why fiddle? Well, the only way to know your car is to get under there. So here's how we're taking care of Baby. :-).
7/3/2000 (5143): Oil Change. Replaced engine oil (Pennzoil 10W30) and filter (Genuine Subaru).
6/11/2000 (4783): Partial alarm installation. A trip to Laurel Auto (local Subie boneyard) last week yielded a shock sensor, a valet switch, and a siren (got a starter T-harness too, but it's for the Legacy). Seems the valet insert for the Legacy is shaped differently than the one for the Impreza. Hmmm... popped the valet switch out of its insert (push from the rear, gently with some wiggle), figured out I could drill a hole the same size in one of the blanks from Baby's dash. Got drill, made hole, worked it until it was large enough to let the LED in. LED/button tended to stick though, worked the hole some more until the button moved freely. Installed valet switch in dash, plugged LED wires into keyless entry module accessory harness where appropriate, BAM, worked like a charm!
6/11/2000 (4783): Keyless Entry modification. Carrie thought the automatic lock/unlock thing on Huggy was very cool and wanted Baby to do the same. Since Baby and Huggy have the same keyless entry module, that was easy. Pulled the keyless entry module down, flipped the same DIP switches, put it back together again. Made Carrie very happy. :)
3/27/2000 (3175): Oil Change. Replaced engine oil (Pennzoil 10W30) and filter (Purolator).
??/??/2000 (1000): Oil Change. Get the gunk out! Baby's first oil & filter change. Installed a Fram filter (eek, got rid of that later).
11/18/1999 (166): Air Filtration Installation. Installed Air Filtration kit. Not bad, easily worth the $50-ish we paid for it over the long haul. Subaru Parts #G3210FC000 (filter) and -010 (filter cover).
11/18/1999 (162): Fog Lamp & Hood Deflector Installation. Performed by CARR Subaru. Subaru parts E2310FS001 (hood deflector) and H4510FA220 (fog lamps). Also had paint/fabric protector & undercoat put on.
