  1. Exactly, the dealer may have only worked there for a short time. Anyhow, he's on the forum to share the experience and figure things out. Welcome.
  2. Interesting video. 1st gear to upper RPMs way quicker with the 6MT. Car sounds great.
  3. So I'm stuck in a similar way to have some black accent on the front and side.
  4. So the recommended plug is Iridium IX LFR6AIX-11 Stock num 6619 Gap .032 So looking at some info tying to learn..... And so the 2309s are one grade colder. 5th gen stock turbo pushes >75hp down low but is pathetic above 4k. TMIC adds about 20HP. This does not seem to warrant colder plugs. Say above 75-100 hp from stock is a general guide to go one step cooler. What are to guidelines to go to colder plugs as a precautionary measure to keep combustion chamber temps within range, as to not pull timing to prevent detination and engine failure? Also are the colder gapped any different than .032? Thanks!!
  5. I lasted 12K miles Stage I + 24K miles on Stage II with a 100 mile per day commute. I noticed it slip first in 4th and 5th gear accelerating on the highway. I set a four week limit. The clutch was toasted. Once the new clutch was in, it was clear that the OEM clutch was never strong. For the first time, the car launched. Well, when its time, its time!
  6. 310 TQ is getting up there for the OEM clutch but it should hang in there for a 25-35 thousand miles.
  7. 4th gen legacy and 06+ WRX work. Single mass flywheel, 5MT. Many of us have ACT clutch and flywheel. Some have LWFW. Mike @ Infamous has been very helpful in this area.
  8. Good inputs. The comment was for the side skirts. The lip is a lot of surface area to leave all black.
  9. I just don't know. Leaning towards black. Like the contrast on the SSM .... this week.
  10. A little cold, but test fit the JDM style. My right side bumper cover has a slight crease in it at the bottom, by the fender, so the lip does not slide over a well on that side. I actually like it black on the SSM. Positioned the BT Aero side skirts just for kicks.
  11. Just cuz, reposted the pic of the JDM lip from the other thread....
  12. That's why I settled on the JDM version as it does not lower the front, just flairs the sides. Trying to wait for the Bilstiens to install the lip but may not make it ...
  13. This is true. The brake drum diameter is smaller before 08 STI. No rear adapter needed. Have Brembo 07s on front and 08s on rear. I've posted the diameters in the past. Search drum diameter in main 5th gen area and see what you get.
  14. @scooby - great pics. It must be great to have many GTs to meet up with. I rarely see other 5th gens. Also, save up for a clutch; the OEM can't hold the torque.
  15. Spotted SSM 5th gen LGT in the wild at Warwick Mall by Target
