Local dealer wants 1983$ + tax.That's a pretty good price. You could try Mike Shaw Subaru. That's where I purchased my shortblock from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRX USA Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Today: I installed a spare bumper I had painted 5 years ago (lol), front lip, and finished up the grill and grill mounted fogs. Last week I cleaned up the JDM headlights and fixed the LED DRL’s. I’m finishing up projects on the car and getting it cleaned up enough to sell it. We bought a model 3 and getting back in this loud thing is just irritating. I wouldn’t mind keeping it as the Home Depot run car, but it’s just too loud and smelly in comparison. I thought about parting it out, but My garage is too short to get the engine out and driveway too steep to safety remove the carcass if I pulled the $$$ suspension and breaks. I know that feeling. I inherited my Dad’s Model S when he passed away and my Outback has just been sitting since. So much so that I need to drive it around to get all the sensors ready so I can smog and register it. Not to mention that my dog hates the vibration and constant noise of the Outback too. The only reason I’m trying to get it registered is that it is my best vehicle for throwing a stand up paddleboard on. Also all of the “smart” features of the Tesla make driving the Outback tedious.

Nonamedude Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Out with the old and in with the new. I found some photos of the divider needing to be bent and it didn't look like it was a ton. Took me three tries though, on the last one I was irritated and stopped being careful so hopefully it's bent enough.

Kojak Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Glad I’m having none of these Tesla issues. After six and a half years of semi-cautious ownership, picked up an AP for a great price off the f/s board. Updated from stock map immediately and absolutely loving the difference. Smiled all the way TO the in-laws, fwiw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoozeRS05 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 The adjustment bracket for my driver's side headlamp is broken. I'd love to aim it a little higher, but not without a new lamp.

Yeah, I'm looking at what is next past Nexus 7; mine has been going for 4 years but is starting to struggle. I have a vent mount for an 8" tablet, trying to decide whether to do that again, or go rasp pi + display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fog light install is new - Diode Dynamics SS3 LED kit.. Keeping in mind it'll fit the 08-09 Legacy, but not 05-07 model years.

rhino6303 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Can anyone do me a favor and measure the 4th Gen Legacy rear sway bar distance from endlink to endlink? Mine is still in the paint shop or else I'd measure it myself. It **looks** just like a Tribeca bar...there are no Tribeca sway bars and the rear bar is only 14mm.

boxkita Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Went to the local junkyard on a random quest for connectors for my rewiring project. Came across 5 fourth gen wagons and sedans. Only 1 actual lgt. The dash pads all looked good. The white/black lgt sedan is mostly complete except driver front side removed, and rear passenger corner damaged. Black interior is complete and somewhat worn. Engine & auto are gone. The large amount of stickers on the outside windows suggests it was too much money to fix, so there was an accident.

finsta Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Went out of town for a bit, developed a major clunk on the front driver's side. Brought into a dealer when I was in Toronto, they said it wasn't critical. Taking a deeper look tonight since I'm back. Also, putting in a Whiteline 20mm rear swaybar with the AVOJDM reinforcement brackets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Whiteline RSB is approx 47" outside to outside I believe. It's a challenge to measure while installed, but I have her up on the quickjack at the moment. Whiteline specs confirm basically 47" length: https://www.whiteline.com.au/product_detail4.php?part_number=BSR39Z&sq=51690 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
