alex0856 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Is that footwell lighting plug and play? I also have questions about the cargo fan and power folding seats...sounds like more things for me to buy. Where does the rear cargo fan go/what does it do? And the power folding seats, is it just like a button that auto folds the rear seats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the power folding seats, is it just like a button that auto folds the rear seats? The footwell lighting does require some splicing, although it does have a harness connection on it. Cargo fan goes in the rear left, opposite side of the subwoofer. I think it was intended for people that go fishing and have stinky fish in the back. Subaru also have an accessory fishing pole rack that goes on the inside along the headliner. I've only ever seen the cargo fan with tan interior plastics. The power folding rear seats are reclinable and spring loaded, so when you press the button at the back the seat automatically folds flat.

DoctorDaveLGT Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 @WRX USA Mine is part# H7017AG021 and includes both front and rear. I'm curious what the difference is, LED color maybe? Would think so since even just the front kit part# in the accessory catalog is H7017AG020 but idk. Â 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorDaveLGT Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 @alex0856, @WRX USA said it well. To add, the rear seat power fold is just a one way function to fold the seats from the cargo area. You'd still have to go to each seat and lift them manually to put them back up. The cargo trim I got also came from a rear seat recline option car and that is actually very simple to retrofit in as you just need the adj striker from Subaru and the rear seat bolster with the button built in to actuate it. If you're going to go this route it would be easiest to buy a JDM rear seat set since the power actuator is located within it. You can tell if it has the actuator in them because you'll see a harness coming out of each side of the seat. But I do have spare actuator pieces if you're interested in trying to retrofit them in your current seats. I also mostly see the cargo fans in tan but black ones do pop up from time to time on the auctions. There was one that just sold this morning actually. It extracts air from the rear and pushes it out through the pressure vent that's located under the bumper. The fishing pole accessory he mentioned is pretty slick. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you get the brackets for the rear seats that mount to the body and allow the three recline positions? I remember installing a rivnut in the body to install it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorDaveLGT Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 @WRX USA I did or at least I think I did if we're thinking about the same thing. Part #'s I ordered are below. I found it pretty neat how simple the whole mechanism/operation is. I bet I'll need to do the rivnut as well, we did a quick check of holding it to the spot and it did look like 1 of the spots needed something, other 2 lined up with existing striker mount point.

Lifted the front end to start a suspension refresh and power steering pump replace. Saw some oily fluid leak evidence and the inner driver cv boot had split and flung grease around. Must have been recent as it looked ok when the engine was out 2000 miles ago. I'm done working on this thing. Thinking of parting it out or selling. Coming here to get thoughts and experiences on parting a car out. 2005 white wagon with the 5EAT, new 257 short block, reworked heads, JMP VF52 rebuild, new engine wiring harness, all new vacuum and cooling lines, Cobb downpipe and accessport, IAG canister, tuned by Cryotune with 2000 miles on engine. Have all new suspension components to replaced bouncy bits and control arms, and whiteline sway bars. Oh, also has the JDM radio bits. Runs fine, steering pump has starting squeeking on full lock at low speed. Take a little break and have some rest. Not worth losing a car with that much done to it over a split CV axle boot. It would be coming out for suspension refresh anyway. White turbo wagons are not easy to come by these days.

Infosecdad Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Slowly working on planning and pulling parts from the blue wagon. I think I'm going to build a chassis dolly so I can part all the suspension and bracing from the wagon, there is just too much good stuff there that I don't want to lose. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I appreciate your response and encouragement along with those of others. I replaced the power steering pump today and it just reinforced I've got other priorities I need my time for. I'll be listing it for sale locally in Mount Vernon, WA if you or anyone on here may know an interested person. I'll work on creating a for sale post sometime this week or next weekend. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex0856 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 @WRX USA @DoctorDaveLGT Thanks for the explanations I appreciate it. The cargo fan is very cool, if I wasn't using that space for a 2nd battery I'd be all over that. Doctor Dave I may take you up on those actuators once I figure out some other things. I should probably focus on getting the carpet back in to my car haha. What auction site(s) are you all using? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRX USA Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 (edited) Yahoo Japan auctions has always been my go to. Edited January 8 by WRX USA 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorDaveLGT Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Yahoo Japan auctions/buyee here as well. It get's a bad rap on the shipping and sometimes you do get bent over but it's honestly not that bad. It all depends on how the seller packages it, same item can have wildly different shipping prices. I've taken packages I've bought from the auctions to a retail UPS store and most times that same package shipped via ground to the West coast is more expensive than what I paid for ~7 day shipping from Japan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRX USA Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 In addition to Buyee, which is easy to use because the link is at the top of every listing, I've used https://myjapanbrand.com/ which I found on the JapanParts.com page and https://importmonster.com.au/. There are some items that Buyee won't allow you to purchase and the other buying services are helpful for those items. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just doing caliper/rotors/pads. I only did the fronts, there's no point in doing the rears, matter of fact the front oem calipers are quite good as-is so a 2004 sti front brembo swap only needs the calipers, 04sti caliper bolts (brembos have different thread pitch than standard LGT), pads, and the larger diameter 04 sti rotors. Stock mc is fine. Edited January 9 by TonyF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
