  1. Yeah the best I was able to get out of this situation was to constantly berate Subaru of America until they eventually they gave me a voucher thing for $500 worth of Subaru parts and/or service. Naturally, I spent it all on parts for the brake line replacement and restoration project that I ended up doing myself which was terrible. Here's the video walkthrough I made in case anybody else wants to see what the process is like:
  2. This is a cover for the trunk area for Legacy/Outback wagons from 2000-2004. It's from a 2003 Outback. It works well! The Subaru part number is 65550AE01BDG, and the color is the "brown" version. $125 picked up. I am willing to ship it at the buyer's expense.
  3. actually, for that video, I missed some stuff that I had meant to add at the end, so I uploaded a new video and updated that link in my previous post.
  4. Gotdayum, I finally finished putting my massive video together. I took the aggressive approach and replaced the brake line assemblies, partially because it was a great opportunity to do a serious rust restoration. Hope this helps at least somebody!
  5. Oh boy, am I teetering on the edge of brake line failure. Check out this picture. Cityside Subaru in Belmont, MA claims that Subaru of America will only honor the recall and cover the cost of the brake line replacement if the lines are ACTUALLY LEAKING, which is terrifying. BRB, let me crash my car due to brake failure to get my brake line replacement covered

  7. What's going on with this guy? He's talking about using modifications to the CAN signals to adjust for steering rack differences to keep VDC after an STI steering rack swap. "STEERING SENSOR CAN-ID 0X2 ... This info has been successfully used for steering rack swap, i.e. mating STI part with standard model. By translating this CAN frame data, a different steering ratio can be used with properly functioning VDC." https://subdiesel.wordpress.com/ecu-analysis/can-messages/
  8. Hot damn, am I seeing this correctly? The bumper is currently $888.37 USD with a to-door shipping cost of $1,186.36 USD for a total of $2,074.73 USD? updated URL for the 107-034-S part: https://www.japanparts.com/parts/detail/11874

  10. So do you guys believe that this JDM Outback bumper (Japanparts # 107-034-S) will also fit on a 2008 USDM Outback with the other modifications you guys have discussed? I ask because Japanparts' site does distinguish the two different model year ranges for the BL/BP chassis (for looking up car models in general, not with the bumper): Legacy 2003-05 BL/BP A-C Liberty: https://www.japanparts.com/parts/category.php?dl=1&cm=6 Legacy 2006-08 BL/BP D-F Liberty: https://www.japanparts.com/parts/category.php?dl=1&cm=141 I don't see any differentiation between the two model year ranges because I can't find a version of the JDM Outback bumper that's specific to "Legacy 2006-08 BL/BP D-F Liberty", so I do think it will fit on a USDM 2008 Outback. Thoughts?

  12. The Perrin damper lockdown is not a U-joint. It is a modification to a U-joint from an Outback, Legacy, or WRX. The Perrin part does not change the form factor / length of the U-joint. It's only to increase the rotational stiffness. If you are swapping this rack into an otherwise-unmodified Outback, I'm pretty sure you need to use the Outback U-joint, as that's the only one that's long enough. I believe Legacy, WRX, and STI U-joints are all the same length, which is shorter than the Outback's.
  13. I got in touch with Subaru of America and they confirmed that the Type RA has a 13:1 rack: "Thank you for contacting Subaru of America, Inc. We appreciate you taking time out of your day to contact us. The 2018 STI RA features a 13:1 steering ratio. Thanks for the opportunity to be of assistance."
  14. My dumb ass didn't realize that the 11:1 rack for only the JDM S207 and S208 would be right-hand drive, which isn't super compatible with left-hand drive cars.
  15. Anybody know anything about the rack in the STI Type RA? The part number for its rack is 34110VA140 which is different from that of the original 2015+ STI (34110VA120). In Japan, the S207 and S208 special edition STIs have an 11:1 ratio. Could it be that this rack finally made it into a USDM car (the Type RA)? What I also can't figure out is why there are more different part numbers for the non-Type RA 2018 STI rack: 34110VA130 34110VA131 You can see the supported car variants for those two parts here: https://parts.citysidesubaru.com/a/Subaru_2018_STI-STI-Limited-25L-TURBO-6MT/_54100_6464454/POWER-STEERING-GEAR-BOX-FITTING-EXCEPS/V10-347-03.html
