the mix was 50/50. He gave me the container he used for filling (old arizona iced tea bottle with measured out lines for meth and distilled water). I won’t be home this weekend, going camping with the family. I’ll be back Monday morning then we are heading up to the Plaza for the fireworks. I can probably grab it from you sometime next week or if you’ll be around, I can possibly grab it tomorrow. Just let me know what works for you. ---

Learned something new today. 1st gear is EXTREMELY short. My mother-in-law wanted me to give it a quick pull so I did and I ended up going a little higher on the RPM than I wanted to. Going to have to keep that in mind… really don’t want to be over-revving the motor. ---

On a side note… anyone know if they sell the washer fluid reservoir rubber/plastic caps plain with no raised surface/diagram? Or something I can use in its place? I want to get a Methanol decal made up for it so if I ever get lazy and decide to get an oil change done somewhere they don’t decide to top off my fluids and fill up my meth. reservoir with washer fluid. ---

I know Julio has them ([www.alkycontrol.com](http://www.alkycontrol.com)), but I’d never let some random shop change the oil in the car. Speaking of which, make sure you’re using the right oil (again not a Subaru expert but I think most use Rotella 5 or 15W40 in these) ---

Yea, i got all the oil, and misc. other fluid details from Guss. I don’t ever plan on it, but if something ever came up and I had no choice (don’t see how that would happen, but you never know). And it will help myself in times of complete brain failure… lol ---
