Moderators BarManBean Posted August 2, 2013 Author Moderators Share Posted August 2, 2013 Man, you're having fun huh! Do you have any extra whiteline LCA bushings laying around ? My OEM ones are shot. Planning to change all of my LCA+front swaybar bushings as well as getting new front endlinks too. I actually just sold my whiteline LCA bushings. They just weren't at the top of the priority list since the car got new STi replacement bushings in there around 12k miles ago.

Moderators BarManBean Posted August 2, 2013 Author Moderators Share Posted August 2, 2013 Dunno. Previous owner did them. Whitelines are pretty reasonable tho. "Bullet-proof" your OEM TMIC! <<Buy your kit here>> Not currently in stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators BarManBean Posted December 9, 2013 Author Moderators Share Posted December 9, 2013 Did you do the work yourself? Nope--put the car in the shop for the first time for this job. Andrewtech did the work and it was money well spent. The hit it out of the park, got the job done quickly, tackled a couple issues that came up with no issue, and the price wasn't all that bad honestly.

SubOperator Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 BMB do you have any summary on 6MT swap - sourcing of tranny, cost for the labor, etc in one place anywhere? I guess a lot of info will be in "What did you do today" thread but reading through a million posts is too time consuming. 2005 LGT Wagon Limited 6 MT RBP Stage 2 - 248K 2007 B9 Tribeca Limited DGM - 258K SOLD - 2005 OB Limited 5 MT Silver - 245K SOLD - 2010 OB 6 MT Silver - 205K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impatient Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Is it slow-baru, slobber-u (as in drool), or slob-aru (as in we 're damned lucky to see it clean)? Technically I could steal your plate name (since different state), I just don't know which would be the appropriate interpretation here: * slow as in stock XT engine (tho not as slow as you think Mister, I think the suspension needs more improving than the engine...but working on that) * slobber as in the driver lacks advanced hygiene skills (as in, I'm always trying to eat & run, and the Bilsteins ain't that plush) or *slob (as in I've given up trying to keep an OBP paintjob looking clean for more than 5 minutes, and the mtn bike in the rear keeps losing chunks of dried mud onto the rear rubber mat...and beyond) Anyway, nice car, dude. How about a bumper-to-bumper side view with the doors closed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess a lot of info will be in "What did you do today" thread but reading through a million posts is too time consuming. 6MT master swap thread? Yup, this^ Although I plan on posting up my total costs and whatnot just for reference over there. I got lucky and actually had someone contact me about a wrecked spec.b they had gotten a hold of. It seems that I had first crack at it and I asked for EVERYTHING and got it for what I think was a great price. That said, it's an expensive endeavor no matter how you look at it.

How about a bumper-to-bumper side view with the doors closed All of those apply to me as well I'll tell you tho', that a LOT of people seem to read it as "Slob, are u?" Even subaru people I might be looking at getting something different soon and have a couple ideas... I'll work on getting some updated photos of the car in general--a lot has changed in the last 6 months!

OBXTbyrequest Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I both love and hate you. So much win in a car. I plan to do some similar things to mine as well, including the STI LCA bushings and now that vent guage maybe with Danteneon's help if I can persuade him . It's awesome to see so many nice Outback XTs so close to me though . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's awesome to see so many nice Outback XTs so close to me though . Thanks I'm finally getting to a point that I'm really happy with the car. The suspension is awesome, the 6mt is awesome, my current stage 2 tune is awesome. Down the road I'm looking at a small turbo upgrade with fuel mods with the ultimate goal of 300WHP, but I'm trying to be patient on that one since it's my daily driver. Glad to hear of another local OBXT owner. I know Danteneon as well, we should do a little get together / photo shoot sometime "Bullet-proof" your OEM TMIC! <<Buy your kit here>> Not currently in stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBXTbyrequest Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 That'd be awesome. My OBXT isn't much too look at right now, but fellow owners (and Soob drivers in general) have really inspired me to up my knowledge and get my hands dirty. She'll be a beaut' one of these days lol.
