IIRC the carpet is the same for sedans and wagons. I swapped my black carpet from my wrecked sedan into my wagon, fit perfectly. (Obviously the trunk trim & carpet are not interchangeable.) The seatbelts though, probably not. Best to reach out to a recycler have them pulled w/buckles.

Valve body for the trans is toast. That turbine speed sensor is part of the valve body. If you’re handy with soldering and wiring, and don’t mind taking the valve body apart, it can be repaired. There’s some guides on here

Can you elaborate on what "too agressive" was for you? My last (new) car was a Fiesta ST w/Recaros and I loved those seats. I've been trying to decide if these are worth it for a daily, if I should look at STI seats, or if the stock LGT seats really are the best fit. (Or go all out and find some JDM Spec-C Recaros for all the $$$$$)

Ordering one now

Finally took the cover off the LGT wagon and took it for a spin. Last time I drove it was way back in November when we closed on our home. Battery was on a trickle charger, but still needed a jump to start. Found a couple issues I'll need to work on this summer: check for parasitic draw (and test trickle charger) see above need to remount my FPR and possibly reroute lines, didn't realize how cluttered they are (six months of not looking at it will give you a new perspective) passenger front outer CV is clicking lines going to (and from?) my Derale trans thermostat are seeping, not sure which ones, will need to get under the car to diag during my test drive I blew the intercooler to throttle hose off of my Grimspeed TMIC twice, despite getting it as far on as it can go and tightening to worm clamp down as tight as I can without taking an impact to it - anyone else run into this? I've taken the TMIC off so many times that I'm wondering if I've somehow worn out the hose

PM’d about the Sony HU

It's hard to tell from these pics, but with the IAG kit the main engine harness gets relocated to the AOS bracket (which replaces the harness bracket.)

Saved some from when I swapped parts over from my sedan to the wagon. Hope these help!

I’m running the IAG Street Series AOS with a Grimspeed TMIC. Just had to be extra careful with hose routing, but everything fits. The IAG kit comes with more than enough hose too.

Saw the post on Instagram and immediately came here hoping for the long-form. Did not leave disappointed. Always love seeing build updates!

There aren’t many left...

Madrig, if you can do a waist spoiler in red tinted carbon, I’m in. (Tbh I’d take it in just about any carbon flavor if it’s a Madrig part. That speaker bracket and grille are perfection.)

Damn, those are good looking wheels. They remind me of early NSX wheels and playing Grand Turismo 2. Both very good things.

Sounds like the start to a lot of sentences I say to my wife when more parts arrive in the mail.

Haven't actually touched the wagon since closing on the new home in November, but started lining up parts for the next batch of projects once the weather starts to warm up. (envious of everyone with a garage) Madrig sub bracket Madrig extended scoop JDM rear bumper Finishing cleaning up my SpecB rear suspension bits to get installed STI master cylinder and booster New OEM engine mounts - passenger side is wasted Debating whether or not to get an IAG oil pan/pickup/baffle combo. Current pan has a concerning dent in the center from hitting I-don't-what on its last drive. Literally on the way to park it at the new house I hit something in the road. Haven't driven it since. No leaks though *fingers still crossed*

I am damn excited about this!

Not sure how similar this is since I have a 5EAT, but I've run my Invidia DP with and without the hanger and never noticed a difference in noise. (Had it unbolted for around 6mo/4500mi.)

I had both a Perrin LW and Fluidampr available when I was putting my engine back together. Went with the Fluidampr based on SO MANY recommendations from here. I would also advise on getting a Fluidampr. Pricey, but worth it. FWIW My LGT has a stock block w/a Blouch 380XT, ELH, ID 1050Xs, catted DP, 3" cat-back to Wangan cans, Cobb intake, Perrin inlet, IAG TGV deletes, IAG phenolic spacers, Cobb EBCS, Grimmspeed TMIC, and a protune by IAG. I'd say that my LGT w/Fluidampr and mods runs smoother than my stock 08 OBXT w/OEM pulley.

Sub'd. That battery tray/panel is gorgeous.

New tires mounted. Cleaned up hub centric rings. Need to tighten some undercarriage miscellany and should be able to start driving it again.

Love seeing the progress on this! Maybe I missed it scanning through the build so far, but are you using a foam backed microsuede? I have a handful of spare interior pieces for my wagon that I've been itching to try this on.

Getting ready to move so haven't done much on the wagon. I finally caved and got new tires for it, but ASAP Tire doesn't service DC anymore (COVID.) Hoping to find time this weekend to take the wheels and tires somewhere local. The right front has finally gone flat and no longer holds air. It was about time, replacing very old Michelin Pilot A/Ss with Kumho ECSTA PA51s.

Lol. What’s better than a car payment? Paying to fix........er..... mod a Subaru!

Loved the Fiesta, but had a baby on the way and my wife refuses to learn to drive a manual. I still browse for them from time to time. Old co-worker of mine has a 2016 that has nearly the full Montune catalog on it. That thing rips.
