Just hit 30K and had the 30K service with the diff fluid done as well.

Also installed the Rear JDM Diffuser (no it doesn’t function)

Most likely the CVT learned some new logic and it will go back to normal after 30-60 min of driving or a reset.

Anyone running 2018+ STi 19'' wheels? Please post pictures and the tire size you're running. Picking up a set soon and trying to decide on the tire size

I’m unsure if anyone has it yet but here is one in NZ.

I think 225/45R19 will give you the normal width of the tire and allow you to keep nearly the same diameter.

You could probably fit the black wheel "arch mouldings" that go on the outback on the legacy. E201SAL000

Yea I saw this one but to be honest the music and wind noise in the video overpowered the sound of the exhaust and I could barely hear it.

Also there was a new TSB released yesterday. Can anyone share it if they have access at the moment? It's about a design change or update to the Hub Bearing Assembly which is really important for our cars.

Except your exhaust right? Do you have a sound clip of it by the way? I’ve been searching YouTube for 3.6R but only nameless and Perrin show up.

Make the headliner black with Alcantra or black material. Somehow do the parts as well.

I thought about getting this done. Did you use a mod shop or did you do it yourself?

I saw this somewhere on Subaru's site.

A retuned ECU for 2018 provides the CVT with smoother and more responsive acceleration.

Maybe CVT was slightly changed in 2018 and retuned so maybe that may have something to do with it. The guys over where the dyno was ran were saying they could feel the engine feeling limited after getting around 4600 and said this can be tuned to push out an extra 30 or so to the wheels and torque.

In the changes for 2018 book I saw this as well.

Just tested to see what the 2018 does on the dyno and it got 231 to the wheels with 260 ft-lbs of torque.

the rear bar is the best upgrade to tame body roll, cornering grip is going to be tire related... stickier tires wear faster and are generally more expensive...

If you do upgrade your rear sway bar please also upgrade your endlinks or this could happen. These were the Whiteline but I’m going to upgrade to Moog or Kartboy.

Not really, just a general, it’s not made for your car. I think since it was soooo difficult to install even when following the installation instructions it may be the tension and strain from it over time may have damaged other parts.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It was the Torque Solutions one I had to install since the Perrin one didn’t fit and the installer told me today that they did follow the correct procedure in installing the lockdown tool.

I may just look into the solid STI universal joint since the splines and everything match up.

I should have updated everyone on this but this ended up damaging my steering rack and a piece on the column. Both were replaced under warranty by my cool dealer after the car kept wandering to the right.

It may have been installed incorrectly but please be careful.

This is actually an important issue as SOA is trying to distinguish the cause of all of these cracked windshields on the Legacy and Outback 6th Gens.

I can tell you that the construction changed in 2017 - 2018 according to SOA from laminiated to the thicker PVB center layer and it's still an issue in some instances.

For those that are getting replacements, are you getting OEM? It seems safelite in some areas hasn't been using OEM. Here's the part number to the newer ones but I'm unsure it will fit.

65009AL41A w/EyeSight

65009AL17D wo/Eyesight

I'm sure this was posted before somewhere but here you go!

Subaru of America, Inc. (SOA) Quality Assurance has identified an increase in the number of cracked windshields on some 2015 and 2016MY Legacy and Outback models. Further investigation has determined the root cause for many of these failures to be the ceramic materials used for the black-colored printed perimeter combined with the silver-colored material used for the wiper deicer portion of the windshield glass. In response to this increase, SOA is extending the original warranty on applicable factory-installed windshields to 5 years / unlimited miles. This warranty extension will cover windshield replacement a maximum of ONE TIME where applicable on a vehicle with a VIN prior to those listed in the Production Change Information on page 2 and meeting the guidelines outlined in this bulletin.

Bulletin is 12-192-15R

Naw, I prefer the amber as the normal turn signal.

I will switch the rear fog to the driver’s side after someone let me know that’s how it should be properly set up.

I was able film some video of the Rear Fog Light and also I forgot about my LED turn signals I installed back in Feb.

Had this rear fog installed today by Lightwerkz

Reverse housing was used and the reverse light still works.
