Thanks. And, wow! That’s quite an experience, and glad they walked out of it. Subaru has really been developing a reputation for safety. Reminds me of Volvo and the pride they took in safety.
2004 Forester X "The Blueberry"
- Thread starter SilveradoTX
- Start date
It's been about three months since I've been on... so I guess an update would be in order.
Let's begin...
First on the update is the installation of a set of Hella Sharptones. I ordered these through submimods.com and got their wiring harness to make life a little easier.
The stock horns worked perfectly fine, but I wanted something that made my presence known a little more. And within two days they paid for themselves.
Installation was pretty straightforward. The biggest "challenge" was mounting the horns, but that became more of a creative endeavor. Thankfully, there are two spots that work perfectly. Just had to get my Dremel out and do some minor work on the back of the grille so everything would fit. Also, had to do a little thinking about mounting the relay. If anyone needs more info/pictures, just shoot me a message.

Next part of the update...
"This little light of mine..."
CEL came on after running around southern Oklahoma one Saturday. I'll spare everyone the details and skip to the main part... It was a clogged vent valve. But the dealer also found that the charcoal canister was coming apart internally... So, that was $1,000 that I wasn't ready to pay. But on the flip-side, things seem to be running well, and I passed inspection.
Good to go for another year.
But let's move to something a bit more fun...
