Fenrir1 '06 Spec B Build

[Fenrir1]

Hi all this is my 2nd 4th gen legacy and it is a 2006 2.5GT Limited Spec B #105/500. finally decided to create a build thread of it on this forum. havent really been on this website in years but here i am. It is a 1-owner, clean title, bone stock with 57k miles sold by Grand Subaru IL to me back in mid July 2022. actually traded my 2010 acura MDX for it. Here are all the mods and maintenance done to it so far. 

also have a 2006 Forester XT Limited 4EAT as garage queen  https://www.subaruforester.org/threads/sg9-forester-sti-replica.526953/

and my other garage queen 2018 Alfa Romeo 4C Spider https://www.4c-forums.com/threads/fenrirs-2018-alfa-romeo-4c-spider.68752/

I recently acquired that same bumper…don’t know when I’ll get it on at this point but still so nice! That’ll look good on the car.  So what’s in the HKS box….?

nice! and we shall see when i open it

[Fenrir1]

Just some must haves

[Fenrir1]

today's shenanigans,

-installed cobb intake & box and accessport v3 Stage 1+ 93 oct. tune 
-scosche magnet holder on A-pillar
-jdm sun visors (im gonna miss the usdm visor sliders )
-fuel cap holder (from jp yahoo auctions)
-cleaned and conditioned the leather seats

fitment on the intake box was super tight, it was a struggle to make it work with the lid and intake duct but eventually it all went into place. i just dread changing or cleaning the intake filter... 

overall the cobb stage 1 tune feels like it pulls harder, but only on the top end. normal driving it feels the same as stock somewhat from the 1k-3k range unless you floor it then you can def feel the pull. and of course its fun to listen to the spoosh sound the intake makes  

update: as a 16 year old tune, im sure everybody with a subaru and a cobb tune knows this already but im still going to say it anyway that stage 1 definitely makes the engine run healthier and smoother. no more accelerator pedal delays and overrevving when trying to rev match off of 1st gear. engine idle is quiet and smooth with little to no vibrations. im happy with the result for a daily driver. now just gotta install the catback to make things more interesting..

FINALLLLLLLY some Grampusssss. after years of searching, i was blessed with a set. purple is gonna look really nice on silver exterior. now time to get some jdm folding mirrors.

also acquired jdm navi visor, cf handbrake handle, and oem fake cf trim dome lights even though i can only use the middle one. maybe ill sell the set idk. 

[SoobyDoobyDoo]

Nice score on the granola lights! I didn’t know there were purple ones. What’s the advantage of the JDM Sun visors? I Believe the USDM STi ones fit and have a sunroof button on them? Check out John Halls build he put a black one in, unless you just wanted for the CF trim…looks good I need to get a stg 1 tune on  mine…

sun visors or the navi visor? 

jdm sun visors have no advantage whatsoever. i think the usdm sun visors are actually better becuz it has extenders to block more sunlight but i switched them out for jdm visors cuz jdm visors lol 

the jdm navi visor is actually wider than usdm navi screen.  and i think youre probably talking about the Liberal visor. those are cool too.

i'm only switching out the middle light dome for the jdm one. yup the usdm one have sunroof buttons and airbag light so i cant swap it out. 

[Fenrir1]

Jdm navi visor is a little wider than the usdm navi screen but its all good

and yeah i think i follow his build, its pretty rad. his car reminds me of my buddy's old SG forester that he put on air and widebody fender as well.

Man, I have not been able to find grampus lights the last couple years, let alone the set I'd want. Nice find on those purple ones!

Makes me wish I had read Sport Compct Car back in 05 when these came out…the original editorial board had all moved on by that point, it was never the same after that so I stopped reading it. My fav was still about how they bought a brand new 04 STi, and proceeded to rattle can it flat black. They were into some shenanigans…nice score! Wish I could get some of the dvds that pop up on there for the BL/BP chassis…with region coding it’s worthless.
