987687 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 The radiator on top of the engine you're talking about is the turbo intercooler. If you're asking me if I'll have one... no. I'm not swapping to a turbo engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixspeedlegacy Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 caschmidt, I noticed your window switch panels are black but you have leather, did you paint them or get black ones to put in? I have painted my other fake wood pieces flat black but didn't know how easy it would be to paint the other pieces. thanks! Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
987687 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Only the limited got the stupid trim. And probably 30th anniversary. Speaking of which, I need to get some black trim for mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of which, I need to get some black trim for mine. what is "stupid trim" the fake wood or black. Because I did not have a limited and I had fake wood if that is what you are calling stupid.

987687 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Wood trim... I thought it was mostly a limited thing. Maybe it's an option in the non-limited. I think the wood trim looks cheesy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caschmidt Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 My window switches were black from the factory, I painted the trim around my dash with duplicolor. I like wood trim just not fake wood trim. Like on a BMW or a Benz with real wood is very nice. The subaru trim just looks so fake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spartan Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Car looks sweet man. Did you have to swap the top hats like some people mention? I have those same rims waiting to be painted, I am hoping to get to them tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caschmidt Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 Yeah I had the same problem. Didnt know about it until I ripped apart one of the struts. Got the 02-07 impreza tophats and it fit fine. The springs said they would only fit the wagon, but they fit both BE and BH apparently. These wheels look much better than I thought. what color you painting them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartan Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I will be painting them BBS gold (same color as 04 sti). Got them primed last night hoping to shoot the base and clear in the next couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dezerttj Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 looks nice! how's she ride now? I've been wanting to do this for some time now. how much did it all cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caschmidt Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 I am very pleased with the ride. I wanted it to be close to stock, and it is very close to stock. The rebound is a little stiff, but thats to be expected with shorter springs. It was definitely worth it. After all of the strut mounts and boots and the impreza tophats etc. it was almost $800 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
