Covid time at home has been good for me getting to work on my car...

1. New Fender Liners

2. Buffed out the headlights (Sparkly)

3. New Fuel Filter

4. New DW 300c Fuel Pump

5. Upgraded fuel pump wiring

6. Installed newer STI FPCM

7. Fog Lights Mod - Independent Operation

8. Installed front Koni Struts (not Legacy height, OB height... bought spacers and different hardware to make it fit right. it's SO nice!)

9. Map light mod - Turn on w/ doors open

10. Cleaned-up engine bay

11. Installed 09 OB alternator shroud

12. Installed Oil Temp & Pressure, & Boost Gauges

13. Oil filter and Oil Change

14. Installed Hella Horns

15. Fixed broken wiring in the hatch (9 wires broken!)

Still to do

1. Wiring up my LL Bean 05 Steering Wheel to work w/ my 08 LGT radio

2. Wiring gauges above.

3. PCV valve replacement

4. Install new DW 740cc injectors & get a tune

5. Install new cabin air filter

6. Install new HVAC electronic box (selector for where the air goes)

7. New seal in TMIC

Karma made you put it as #13 on your list. Tribeca's FSB does NOT fit turbo engines, only NAs.

Thanks for the heads-up!!!! Is there a non-expensive option for us?

This week what has been accomplished:

1. Swapped out my winter wheel/tires with my all season on stock OBXT rims. (Had the tires balanced too, thank goodness it's better at speed!

2. Installed front JDM STI 4-pot calipers, new rotors, and StopTec Pads

3. Bled entire brake system (It's been since 2016 since that was done)

4. Painted all calipers a nice, shiny red

5. Installed whiteline diff bushings (KDT903, easiest install in a while)

6. Checked the oil, we're good

7. Got the right pressures in all my tires, free compressor @ Kum&Go across the street

8. Fixed an exhaust leak at rear exhaust to muffler flanges (needed a new gasket)

9. Installed a red map light on the driver's side so I can see things when it's dark and not lose night vision.

10. Ordered Innovate Oil Temp/Pressure Gauge and all needed couplers/connectors

11. Ordered Koni front adjustable strut inserts (I will be fabbing these up to my OBXT fronts to maintain stock height, I'll just need some longer attachment screws for the bottom of the struts.

12. Ordered a JDM front grille to replace my stocker

13. Thought about a new front sway bar... might get the tribeca one that's bigger than my stocker.

14. Greased-up front sway bar bushings and endlinks (I have zerts on all of these)

Last week:

1. Installed 'new' junkyard crossbars for my roof rack (messed the last one up w/ the top-mounted bike I destroyed driving into the garage last Aug.)

2. Installed new heater blower, the last one whined loudly... this one just blows

Still to install:

* Koni front strut inserts

* LGT Steering Rack and whiteline bushings

* Wiring for the LLBean steering wheel I have for radio controls

* Wire fogs for always on

* Sand/polish-up front headlights and apply clear-coat

* Install boost gauge/oil press/temp gauge in vent pod in car.

Next level...

* Rewire the rear fuel pump for better voltage/performance

* Need tuning for my car (Need new injectors/fuel pump)

Hey everyone, I'm looking forward to getting this in the mail: Whiteline 22mm adjustable front sway bar (BSF30Z). I already have the 20mm rear bar and now I'd like to take out some more body roll

If you want it at a steep discount, get it from vividracing, you have to search for it by looking at 2008 WRX clearance parts... fits our cars nicely. Enjoy . I got it for ~$149 shipped to CO.

I am interested in a full swap. I have full black leather in my Outback XT 05, 115k, great condition and I want tan leather.

My location: Portland, OR
