New Forester XT project

just had to cure the ill fitting lip and some other various issues should be done this week .. couldn't take it adding a body line to just the bumper 

 
So last Thursday, I pulled out of a parking lot and heard a pop. I drove it home without issue, and when backing into my parking spot, it popped again. I jacked up the rear end, and found the passenger rear cv axle was flopping around inside the rear diff. Finally got around to replacing the rear diff yesterday. Once I got the old one out, it was pretty obvious why it blew. Not one drop of gear oil dripped out of it. It's all good and happy again now!

 
Had a fellow member do a detail for me today, along with sealing the paint and a wax. Came out great! I also deleted the rear wiper today, because it was messed up anyway, and it won't be driven in the winter, so it's not needed.









 
Installed a RalliTEK transmission bushing today. Definitely firmed up the drivetrain slop, and shifts more solid. Only downside is it increases NVH, but it's not bad, and definitely worth it.
