acumenhokie Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 Btw, you have a shaved trunk... Don't you? Sent from my butt using Tapatalk Not sure what a regular one looks like. Will have to find one and compare but you've seen my trunk so maybe I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waaazooo Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Does it say "subaru" or "legacy" or "2.5gt"? I'm not sure if they would replace that stuff. It was shaved when I sold it. Sent from my butt using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slider Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Pedals look good... I might have to do them. I've already worn away the rubber on part of the clutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Just a forewarning... be prepared to have a bunch of the little rubber things on the prosport dead pedal fall off. I had 3 of mine come off since I installed it in September - October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebo03 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Would the stock dead pedal out of a 2011 fit instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acumenhokie Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 Would the stock dead pedal out of a 2011 fit instead? Per this post the 2010 has a 5 5/8th" gap between the pins. Measure the 2011 dead pedal pins and find out. http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3240494&postcount=37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CL21376 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Just a forewarning... be prepared to have a bunch of the little rubber things on the prosport dead pedal fall off. I had 3 of mine come off since I installed it in September - October. I've had the dead pedal for probably 10 months now and every single rubber nub has fallen off. Fortunately I've also been able to find every single one in the foot well. I called pro-sport and they offered to send me a new pedal. However, much like the factory plastic dead pedal, I used spray on trim adhesive on the back. Not wanting to cut anymore carpet, I've been super-gluing the nubs back on as they fall off. It seems to do the trick, just make sure to scrape the old adhesive off with your finger nail or something before gluing it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acumenhokie Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 Installed the hella horn kit today with bracket and wiring harness. Definitely a pain in the butt to install and much easier if you didn't have to take the bumper off to take the grill off. I did it with both in place per Peaty's write up and everything seems to be working fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acumenhokie Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3411042&postcount=767 X-member and diff bushings have arrived. Got the 15k mile oil change (500 miles late) and picked up a new cabin air filter. Ordered the interior illumination kit from Subaru and think I'm going to order my sway bars in the next 2 weeks or so. Pretty sure the relay on my Hella horns is blown so I've reconnected one of the stock horns. Need to see about ordering a new relay from Hella or if they will warranty it since it's only a few weeks old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acumenhokie Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 What an interesting box. Whatever could it be? http://i54.tinypic.com/nzq3rq.jpg What's this adjustable front and rear sway bars from Whiteline? Yaaaaay Thanks to the UPS man and forum vendor Import Image Racing!

acumenhokie Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 Got the transmission mount, cross member bushings and differential bushings installed today. Even though I haven't driven real far with them I'm already thrilled with the results. I really feel like the shifting and rear end in general has firmed up. The rear end "clunk" feeling is gone and everything feels much more solid at the time of clutch disengagement. I'm sure I'll have more thoughts on it after some more driving.

Rogue77 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I wish I had someone that could do all this for me I have no knowledge on any of this (besides what I read here) but I would love to have all this done to my LGT. ebo also does all this. Wish I could just go to one of your houses and have you guys do this stuff for me I'm just here for the mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebo03 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 If you can turn a ratchet you can install the trans and rear diff bushings. There are instructions for all of them online as well. I still am not satisfied with the firmness of the rear diff so I ordered Whiteline's KDT906 which replace the bushings in the upper mount by the spare tire. I removed the inserts in the lower mount a couple weeks ago and installed KDT905. It was an improvement but I think it can get better. I also started to install KDT902 Positive Traction Kit and realized after pressing in a couple of the upper bushings that it was not something I wanted to tackle by myself with the car on jack stands. So I aborted the mission and probably spent 30 minutes just aligning the rear subframe so I could bolt it back up. Next Friday I'm bringing it to a friend's shop so he can install the KDT902 and KDT906. Removing the rear subframe will make installing the KDT902 a cake walk. The subframe has to be removed and the rear diff dropped to install the KDT906. That was also something I was not willing to do with it on jack stands. I was hoping I could talk him into letting me come in on a Saturday and he and I could do the work off the clock but he said the shop owner cut down on that a while back. I'm ashamed to say this is the first mod I can think of that I did not install on either of my Subies. Rogue, do you want install instructions of any particular parts? I can probably look around between IWSTI and ScoobyMods to find them for you. Just let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
