I have a big white one I can hand it off to Booze if he is going or o can ship it. Let me know. 

Agree on the wiper but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a usdm car with it.  IIRC there were conversations way back in the day (2008-10ish? Damn I’ve been her a while) about what is required to do the conversion and it came down to importing the jdm rear glass along with the arm and guts of the wiper. Spendy but special! 

Do you have the 4th brake light on the rear deck? 

That wing sticks out like a dick on a fish.

I’m having an eclipse party at my boat dock.  I barely need a reason to drink on a Monday afternoon. 

My LGT is back on the road.

installed the iBR flex01 kit   New flexfuel controller and wiring harness   Install was super simple and ethanol readings are identical to what I was seeing prior to the Cobb hardware failure   
 

im not sure what caused the issue but the Cobb harness fried itself and melted the wiring from rear o2 12v input to the controller.    
 

ibuildracecars.com makes a very slick replacement controller and harness   Their unit does not pull 12v from o2, instead it draws from the TGV +5v  to power the ethanol sensor  I just wish it came in blue or black.  The company is based in Pittsburgh,  which makes me proud to support a local enthusiast   
 

I never even use my stereo.  Forced-induction soundtrack is all I need…

lol. These cars are totaled for next to nothing these days. The pitch stop won’t matter in a crash.   That being said, the aluminum/poly bushing units do create a lot of noise. If you’re sensitive to that I’d advise avoiding them for oem. 

I’ll be in Houston for a week in April . If someone want me to ship these I can handle that while I’m in town. 

From DFW?

I can’t believe these have been available for this long.  It’s a very nice setup and mine are great on the street even with a slightly stiffer spring than original.

Sounds like you should probably just part it out… Dibs on the turbo, trans, and I’ll take your wheels. Ahh I’ll just take the whole thing 

Maybe.  
 

hoping I can just fix what I already own.

Welp. For the first time in 15 years the Subaru is broke.  Started it up yesterday, dash lights up, CEL, running rough, SMOKE Under the hood!  I shut it down and followed the smoke to my Flex Fuel wiring harness. Something is shorting and melting the wiring. I’ll pull it apart when I get back from work in two weeks. Yay. At least it’s sitting in the garage.

where are you located?

Outside of Pittsburgh,PA

I have a full tan interior from a 2009 that I’m willing to part out if it helps anyone.  

1 of 19 if I remember correctly. Only a few SWP SpecB have popped up on the forum over the years.  One has been documented as wrecked in the PNW.  One sold a few years back. Another was pretty heavily modified then sold by Berkshire40(iirc) and never resurfaced.  I’ve modified my gt to be the swp spec B I couldn’t buy new.  She’s a beaut.  I’m at 57k miles. Just when I think I’m the lowest mileage LGT around…

@KZJonny; @SubOperator:

thanks. Makes perfect sense. I thought the odometer was having an issue.

Oooo just wait until you wipe down the interior and can’t turn off the parking lights!

They did the same on my car.  Tuned on 93oct down to about 1/4 tank and then filled her up from a drum of  the good stuff. 

No. E85 from the pump is never truly 85% unless you’re buying it direct from a specialty supplier.  It varies wildly between stations as well as seasons.  Winter blend gets less alcohol.  Even at that I’ve never remember seeing anything below the upper 60% ish in my area.  
 

This is part of the convenience of the flexfuel kit.  You don’t have to worry if you get a low e%, the tune will be adjusted to be safe. So no sitting at a gas station with a beaker checking ethanol content the old fashioned way and loading a tune. 

I’ve had e78+ around Pittsburgh.  I’d bet our year-round average is over e70 in my area. 

That’s great. Post your dyno graph if tuner shares it with you.  That things a rocket now. 

I don’t think they ever sold facelifted wagons in usdm. 

Nice wall art though.  The artist  got the front fenders wrong.

not sure why it didn’t link but you’ll thank me when you get there. 

Where in PA do you dwell?
