Ran wiring for forthcoming Varex install and installed a rear view camera. The kilometers are slowly going up on my specB. Now at 68K.

Max Capacity, That's good to know, I think I'm going to do that for the ground and just get an OEM replacement for the positive. Do you suggest one of those terminals that you just snip off the lug end and bolt the copper down?

Hi people, I have two questions that stemmed from me removing unused hitch wiring from the previous owner. 1) My specB's battery terminals are pretty much done. I can't fasten them well anymore. Has anybody done a battery terminal replacement, ie using off the shelf connectors with success and if so, do you have any recommendations? 2) I noticed I'm missing clips for my bumper. I'm wondering if somebody could tell me the position of the clips/the number of clips so I can match it up? Thanks in advance!

I'd like to know this as well. I've had to go through the dealer for any time I've needed to get parts, even if I needed a specialty screw.

Hi everybody. I've noticed that my '07 specB has a rattle from the sunroof shade/interior piece. It seemingly stops when you press upward on it. Does anybody have any stopgap ideas on how to stop the rattle or fix it? Thanks.

2007 specB checking in with 41200km.

He is a portly individual, he had some pretty nice cars including a Continental GT, XKR and a new (at the time) Escalade. In terms of the leather, I found a few places that patch up leather like Insides (not the best of names, http://insides.ca/interieur-de-vehicule/?lang=en ) and Fibrenew but no actual upholsters. Max Capacity, what's your take on the catted vs catless debacle? Your power goals is what I'm looking for. I'm veering towards catted because I want less noise and don't particularly want the fumes.

When I had the car inspected in 2016, I was told the belt is still good. I'll be looking into it this week. Max Capacity, my door cards are kinda in rough shape, would it be possible to fix the plastic or am I hunting for new door cards as well?

I figure this thread is long overdue. I'm mostly a lurker on these forums but I decided it was time to make a thread detailing my adventures and thoughts. In 2016, I decided I was done with driving automatics and wanted a car more exciting than a 1997 Camry V6. I started looking around in my area for Legacy GTs and Outback XTs as a first manual car. Initially, I wanted a 2007-2008 Forester XT. I still have a sweet spot for them. I was disappointed with what I found in Quebec so I started looking west. Eventually, I found this 2007 specB with 17100 km or 10620 miles. Car was never winter driven and an older fellow was the sole owner. I flew out and scooped it up pending an inspection. The car had (and still does) have the protective wrap on the door scuff plates and had some plastic elsewhere. The snag about this car is that there is wear on it. The paint on the car has many rock chips as it was flat towed behind an RV. This also means that the mileage of 17100km that I got the car with is motor only, I have no idea how much mileage the transmission has seen in neutral. Several surfaces in the interior are scuffed. In addition to that, one of the bolsters on the driver's seat is worn. Me being extremely anal, I wish to fix this up in the future. How I go about and proceed to do so, I have no idea but I'll be discussing this and seeking advice in these forums especially since this is my first car I'd like to work on myself. My plans for this car are to "restore" it to it's former cosmetic self and to make it a sleeper daily (stage 2/3, looking to keep things stock motorwise). Notable work done on car so far: (Last updated on Feb 23/2021) Recalls: brake, Takata and air pump (Winter 2017) Double DIN stereo install with Pioneer AVH-W4500NEX (Spring 2020) STI v7 Wheels with Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8 (215/50/17) for winter, BBS 5x100 v8 STI wheels with Pilot Sport 4 (235/45/17) for summer.

Unfortunately, given the state of the paint, this will be necessary since Montreal winters are not kind and just about every surface has tons of rock chips that are either starting or will begin to rust. At the time of writing this, the car has 73800km. My weekly work commute is a bit shy of 70 miles weekly. None the less, welcome!
