just wrapped up my sparkplugs this evening. sparkplugs 1 &3 were al little dirtier than 2&4, but idk if that means anything. also had quite a bit of crust on them, so when i went for a test drive the idle was much more consistent.

It's definitely neat. i like that it's got all the factory amenities still

Just washed my car after getting it back, so here's some information on it. it's a 2010 legacy GT in Steel silver with a black interior. The car has quite a few mods from previous owners, including an aftermarket head unit with a screen, blacked out grill(now removed) and removing the 2.5 gt and legacy badges. I personally put on an Invidia 3" catted downpipe after the old catalytic converter died, a tweaked 93 octane cobb tune, and a damper valve delete. the end goal for me is a daily drivable car with a little more power, but still an enjoyable driving experience. Next steps are probably putting on 2.5 gt badges, an exhaust and a bypass valve.

just got it back from the transmission specialist shop, the clutch is way lighter, but not uncomfortably so. will make a post with pictures and build documentation once i wash it.
-
there's a cracked stud in the transmission housing, so I'm getting it towed to a transmission shop tomorrow morning
-
I think so. the picture is the car after resting for a day. it looks and feels centered on the dimple, and seems more extended than it should
-
to provide a few more details, i used DOT 3 brake fluid, bled the clutch, and then attempted to start the car. Clutch pedal wouldn't go in, so i pressed the switch that tells the car it's in while in neutral. once i attempted to put it in gear, the clutch didn't engage.
-
Update, got brake fluid to cycle through, but now the clutch is very tough and the car won't go into gear. Any ideas as to what's doing this?
-
have you tried spraying some starting fluid to see if it runs for a bit after starting? if not start there. if you have and it still dies immediately, test your coil packs, check your spark plugs then do a compression test.
-
Really? i would assume the N1 would be louder but the q300 would be a bit quieter just based on muffler size
-
I've been eyeing an Invidia q300 catback exhaust to compliment my downpipe. there are a couple available online for ~900$. does anyone have any experience with the noise level from them?

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C8C8XS4Y?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 This is the 10mm one, fits most if not all brake lines in my legacy. Not great for breaking things loose, but a flare nut wrench or just open end 10mm can do that
-
They'll work, the thread pitch being the same is the main thing. I went a step further and looked for studs based on the Turbo's part number from IHI (RFH5H) and found this set on amazon for ~15$. they worked with my OEM turbo
-
damper is out, New master cylinder is in. ended up stripping the old master cylinder to damper line, so that got replaced in the process. waiting on my brother to come over later this week to bleed the clutch. all in all, i should have gotten that 16$ brake line ratchet thing a week before i did. attached is a picture of the new master cylinder
