    Spark Plug Install Instructions

    in Walkthroughs :: Basic Operation & Maintenance

    Posted

    Replaced plugs yesterday and the tips given in above posts about disconnecting the wire harness and rotating the coil packs to remove them helped out. Only real problem was getting the boot back onto the spark plug on the driver's side rear. I was almost to the point of jacking up the engine a bit to give the boot a straighter shot in at the plug top but finally got it to slip on with some guidance with my long fingers. Unfortunately those fingers are attached to big hands and it's tight working down in there but no major battle scars, just a few minor scrapes.

    I was a volunteer for the NASA-Midwest weekend at Autobahn CC working with timing & scoring up in race control. By volunteering you earn credit toward entry fees for future NASA events. I'd like to go up to RA but don't think I can get off from work that weekend.

     

    I went out for the touring session during lunch yesterday to get a little more familiar with the south course. Were my lines really that good that I looked like an instructor? :lol: It's a lot easier hitting your marks @ 40 mph (well, we weren't supposed to be exceeding 40 ;) ).

     

    If you're going to be tracking your car at speed you'll definitely want to upgrade your brake pads.

    Looking for the rear brake pad cover plates for an 06 LGT. I believe they're called an outter shim. I already have the numbers for the fronts:

    Front outer shim 26233AG020

    Front inner shim 26233AG000

    FYI, these are the slotted ones that go between the back of the pad and the solid shims that face against the caliper.

    Map Lights on with Dome light Mod

    your killing me i can't keep up with you slow down brother :lol: btw i went to their site to much stuff to look at do you have part numbers and price? how was install wonder how these compare to fastwrx's. bosco

    I'm trying to limit mods to the inexpensive ones for now (and install the ones I already bought but don't have on the car yet) as I save up for the IPT 5eat valve body upgrade...then I'll be ready for W.I. :icon_chee

     

    The autolumination web site isn't the easiest to navigate. Here's what I currently have in the cabin:

     

    Start HERE, then scroll down to 6 LED Super High Flux for the map light bulbs ($9.99 x 2). Next, scroll to 12 LED Two-Face for what I'm using in the front door puddle lights ($11.99 x 2). Finally, scroll to 25 led High Powered SMT Array for the dome light ($24.99). Use the 31mm size for all of them. Total would be $74 for all 5 of them shipped.

     

    It looks like the fastwrx dome light has a plastic piece you install inside the lens to position the LEDs. I just used a piece of foam tape behind my LED array and used a small flat blade screwdriver to get position it exactly where I wanted it as I snapped the plastic lens back in place. The foam keeps the LED board pressed against the inside of the lens with some light pressure so it doesn't move.

    I swear, the only time I see another BL/BP Legacy is when I meet up with you guys. In the 2 1/2 years I've had mine I recall exactly 2 sightings on the road. It must that either I need to get out more or that I'm totally oblivious to the world around me.

     

    It probably doesn't help that when you drive the local Subaru (/Kia) dealer it's almost impossible to see a Subaru from the road. They've got a row of used cars lined up along the street, which blocks any view into the showroom, and their new Subaru stock is hidden away on the side and behind the building. It's a small lot but come on, at least put one new Legacy, Impreza and Tribeca out front so people can at least see them.

    Thanks! That's quite a process. One more question...

     

    - Why did you select the 31mm "6 LED Super High Flux" festoon bulbs for the map lights and the 31mm "12 LED Two-Face" festoon bulbs for the dome and map lights?

    Originally I had the single Super High Flex in the map lights and then they came out with the 6 LED version so I upgraded to those. The map light lens is blacked out except for the two small openings to direct light down keeping it out of your eyes. The multiple LED bulbs result in brighter lighting for the front seats over the single LED version.

     

    For courtesy/puddle lights in the doors the two-sided bulbs offer lots of light directly out the lens and also fill out the rest of the lens with indirect light by reflecting off the inside of the housing.

     

    This didn't work so well in the dome light. There's an opening in the housing above the bulb to allow ventilation for the incandescent bulb so instead of light from the other side of the LED bulb filling out the lens it just go to illuminating the inside of your headliner. I just rotated the bulb so that the LEDs face left and right instead of up and down.

    How does one find those bulbs on their site? How did you find them in the first place and know they were good replacements? Their "Automotive Lighting Lamp Replacement Guide" takes you to a Sylvania site and its search results didn't list the bulbs you used.

     

    From the Sylvania bulb guide (or Deer Killer's bulb guide sticky) we find that the dome and map light bulbs are DE3175 and the step/courtesy are DE3021. Autolumination's cross reference chart indicates their 3022 festoon dome bulbs for both of those applications. You'll find what you're looking for on their festoon bulb page. Use the 31mm bulbs.

    How did I find Autolumination? Just surfing and comparing prices & shipping charges.
