Amazing Job Roch!

Yeah, I did that too. Very happy with it.

On a pointless side note, while traveling last week with the family I had my kid take a pic of the Subaru's dash as the Odometer hit 77,777.7 miles at 77 MPH.

Damn, I guess to beat that I'll have to do 190 km/h as I hit 190k km in 5k haha. Jokes aside that's a neat milestone/photo

This was the best picture I've got like that. Taken ~5 years ago.

What were you doing to get 11.7km/L at 35.3 km/hr?

This is the pic I mentioned, of our Subaru on a road trip a few weeks ago.

Pointless, but interesting anyway. Lots of sevens, LOL.

This Forester is the Touring Edition, fully loaded for 2018. I really, really like this car. Totally practical and useful, but not so big as to be awkward. Total 360° visibility, great mileage, the best AWD in the industry, and a stout little 2.5L boxer. It's been a great family car.

Wow, you even have roughly 77% of a full tank of gas.

Wow Good eye.

That 73 mph is the adaptive cruise control. Absolutely love ACC and Lane-assist on highway trips.

Here I thought you just had a remarkable amount of planning to hit the gas tank just right since you actually went to the trouble to make sure the trip computer was so exact. That takes some serious planning. Seems like a lot of miles compared to your G. Your wife must drive a lot more than you. Does your lane assist keep you centered in the lane or just try to steer you back once you go too close or just over the line? I like lane centering that just keeps you centered right where you need to be. The Ariya has handsfree driving on HD highways. It's a cool idea in theory, but what are you supposed to do with your hands??

Absolutely. It's her car first, and then the family car. She's never driven my G, and isn't too keen on riding in it anymore. The oldest drives the Sentra, and my youngest has the new Hyundai. She's been putting a lot of miles on that little Korean car.

The 2011 G37 has 52K miles on it.
The 2018 Forester has 78K miles.
The 2014 Sentra has 61K miles.
The 2022 Venue has 20k miles.

It gently pulls you back before you actually cross onto the line. If you let it drive itself on the highway, it kind of ping-pongs down the road until you get to a bend in the road that's too much for it can't handle. It's not supposed to be "hands-free", more of a gentle helper is all.

Hi @Rochester , glad to see you have kept the G in excellent condition. I have sold my G many years ago, but I always poke around FB Marketplace for a 6MT sedan as a fun project car. Hope all is well, take care.

Hi Zack.

The TPMS display? Here you go: https://www.myg37.com/forums/brakes-...sure-menu.html

The 777 picture? My daughter took it.

Caliper Project

It's been a while since I went all in on a new project. Two years, really, which was when I had the car remote tuned. Granted, last Fall I pursued Motovate's Nav System hack for the TPMS values, but I wouldn't call that a "project" per se. So this spring I'm finally pursuing painted calipers. I'll post a pic (probably next month) of the finished project, but in the meantime I created this thread for the progress:
