WRX USA

A good side by side comparison of JDM and USDM facelifted Outbacks:

Spotted at Philz in Cupertino this morning. It was gone by the time I came out 10 minutes later.

It’s Tommy Kaira

 

I know, that’s why I posted the badge.

Never seen one of these:

I've been curious about the Feal "max travel" coilovers. They don't show up on their web page but I've had some conversations with them and they do make a Legacy/OB application. http://feal-suspension6.mybigcommerce.com/coilovers-max-travel-441/?sort=featured&page=1

Here are the non max-travel 441’s, http://feal-suspension6.mybigcommerce.com/feal-441-coilovers-05-09-subaru-outback-xt/, no mention of how much lower than stock they are.

Installed all new wipers.

Picked up my goodies this morning with some extra stuff .

Is that an extra JDM D-F Outback front bumper and an extra JDM D-F Legacy front bumper?

I’m fairly sure it was the original one swapped over to my new motor so 147k total on it. It was getting to the point where starts were intermittent. This morning it didn’t start so I attempted to roll start it in the driveway and ran out of hill so I reset the ECU and it started up.

Also, I’ve been driving my dad’s Model S for the last couple of weeks and transitioning back to my car has been interesting. You definitely can’t zip around with an EWG like you can in the Tesla...people get mad.

Man, I am SO tempted. Just found a nose cut that is not only local but same paint color and in great shape!!

DO IT!!!

I know this is old, but the the link for the wagon displays one visor, do you have to order two as the quantity or does ordering one get you the set of two?

They are sold as a set.

Great. Now is the time to restore your headlights.

No need to hide, I have the 3M kit but apparently you have to use it to benefit.

Excellent Blackstone results

Installed Redline hood struts:

I was a little reluctant because the brackets rivet on but they seem to work perfectly.

Here's an update on swapping the projectors/shields in the facelift JDM lights: it's really easy. How much difference it actually makes idk cuz I never mounted them in the car before swapping projectors, but the light pattern looks fine. I do need to adjust the angle a little tho because the passenger's side light is aimed too low, and the driver's side is about right.

Did you take any pics or is it that intuitive?

Before and after Hybrid Speed Density tune:

Damn. Nice curves and numbers! That's on pump gas?

 

I might have to do that heated seat thing too... Thanks for giving it a go!

Thanks! This is on Oregon 92 octane.

It was warmer this time at the dyno so the numbers would be higher under cooler conditions but it worked out perfectly...402whp!

Previous numbers were 380whp/360tq. New numbers are 402whp/358tq.

Now the ‘S402’ badging on the grille, which freaks out the purist, actually means something and I’m seriously thinking about throwing the ‘S402’ badge that I have on the back.

they look dope. difficult to install?

Dont really feel like pulling the mirrors off the car after fresh paint...

Thanks! You need to remove the painted mirror caps which feels super sketchy but you can help remove the tabs from the inside if you remove the mirror first. After that, install is easy.

Installing the Prova mirror covers as the actual mirror with the heated element on the back was a lot harder!

Yes, Prova Mirrors and K2 Twin Tube LEDs

It was a little tricky, but installed the OEM heated seat elements in my JDM STi Recaro’s.

The OBXT shares the same ECU as the LGT so any LGT support automatically means OBXT support. The supported models/years for the FF release are as I listed them before.

I know, he seemed oblivious of this. I told him the only difference in the drivetrain is the gearing and he went off on how it was a different product to support.

Thank you for your continued updates.
