10,000 Miles
I just hit 10,000 miles on my 05 STi..
I was wondering if there is anything I need to do now? Like a 10K mile tune up or Servicing? If so, which Subaru Dealership will work on a car with mods?
So far the far has been awesome and I have no complaints. I have taken good care of it. Oil changed every 3K with Full synthetic, not driving it crazy or anything that would shock the internals.
My mods are K&N Typhoon, Helix Catless Downpipe, HKS Carbon Ti, and Cobb Accessport Stage 2 on 91oct..
I definitely plan on going with suspension upgrade, a bigger turbo, and a FMIC when I get to the mainland and to a dyno for a ProTune.

Yep, there is somethin you need to do....Bring it to HRP to do some 1/4 mile runs this coming Friday to test out its performance, I recommend it be done at least every 1,000 mile interval. Think of it like exersize for your car, you gotta open her up every once in a while!

Hmm.. I can't really recall what kind of servicing is required.. I don't think anything is.
Anyhow, you can at least check your fluids for any abnormalities, like.. See if your Brake Master Cylinder / Clutch Master Cylinder's fluids are clear. If they're kinda brown, change em out with a turkey baster.
Take a look around, get familiar with how the engine looks so you can later spot any "leaks" that weren't there before..
Either that or you can just relax.. and not worry about anything at all.. haha
