Always! Heck I seal the paint every 6 months! Been driving a ton more but we are heading to Grand Junction to get a yellow top in the A.M. Good times! Many thanks to all!

Ok update here on the issue, sorry it is so late! got a tender for it after driving to Grand Junction, so that should have charged it and after hooking the tender up maybe once twice a week, bingo, no more issues! But I was wanting to get the yellowtop:slobber:, but wife said no:( bummer But many thanks again!

:-\So doyou guys think maybe charging it fully then getting a tender may help. Granted after having it tested.......again. Guy at Carquest(sucks), tested it and said it was dead then said here let me put a new one in, after he hooked up the tester backwards the first time........

Yep garage is heated, lowest it gets if 40 or so at night. Also not in Maine but Colorado on the western slope. Temps have been really cold at night but since it is in the garage that should not be an issue.

yep, did one hell of a cleaning job on it. good times, I hate working on batteries!

Thanks f or the help I have cleaned the battery up pretty good, using hte baking soda method as there was a large amount of cor. on the pos term, then scrubbed the connection and terms with a wire brush.

well it is not 9 years old, 2007 and I bought the car with the same battery in it from the dealer so say two years. Now just wondering if the same thing will happen with a new battery? butnow tha tI have more time I have been able to drive it more to trail heads and such but it is still doing the same thing.

Was thinking of going that direction. You would think that the charge would last longer though. After grabbing the little man it does start right up though.

Same battery it came with, I work from home and only drive it to go and pick up my son from the babby sitters about 1 mile away on town roads, So it is in the garage the rest of the time. but when I go to start it it grumbles a bit but starts and all the settings are gone. Very annoying, but thinking the battery may be on its last legs or I just do not drive it enought to "charge" it???? any thoughts??

Kind of a stupid question but i am looking for some snows and found some good deals in this size 225/45QR17, Problem is i do not want to go through the pain of getting new wheels, TPMS and tires.

Great shots! we live in the area, (newCastle) and ride the same road on the mtn bikes and in the winter ski up there. great to see a subie up there!

Dude that is nice! and i assume by your plates you are a carver! even better! ever make it out for the Expression Session?

Right on that is what i wanted. the truth! thanks!

Anybody knowof a kit or one that works? it is a 2.5I, no turbo. Thanks!

Exactly how i have it installed. the aera where it seems to hit is above the grill, where you take out the plastic clips/plugs and replace them with the white plugs with the grooves, which i might add were a pain to put in as they spinned. I ended up putting two washers ont eh hood latch to lower the latching point. My dad used to work in a body shop then went on to restore classic cars, 1939 or less was classic to them anythine else was not a classic go figure! So after doing this all the hood lines are perfect and line up and it latches better. i think the white plugs/mounting screws may be the issue. thoughts? Now it closes with pressure ont he hood, not the sheild. Thaks for the imput and more would be appreciated:headbang:
