Those look significantly nicer than the originals.

got bored while driving in auckland traffic and taught myself how to rev match to change gears, so If anyone actually knows more about this- rev matching works within range of any set of 1k revs, right? I've only changed using the 2-3k range, and then a little testing of the 3-4k range. But I assume it can be done using higher RPMS? Not that I really want to try- just curious as to the theory behind it

It can be used at what ever revs you're at. I've rev matched from 4-7 as an example.

On the BG Changed the front and rear diff fluid, changed the front diff drain plug to a zerosports number, fixed up passenger side steering rack bush as I can't have installed it properly the first time as it had a small kink in it. Also discovered a split outer cv boot. Still need to do an oil change, might have to sort that after dinner.

Where did you get these from. Would love some for Legacy

[sultan]

Replaced the ignition barrel in my forester. Probably the most horrible task I've ever done. I have no idea how you're meant to remove the recessed keyless screws, but the way I did it surely isn't the recommended way. I don't think I've ever yelled and sworn at a car as much.

eBay. Plenty of options out there. OEM tend to be a bit more expensive but there are cheaper options out there. Try searching "subaru awd badge" for starters.

I mean like no clutch gear changing which is pretty neat imo

Drove it all around Auckland today. My cdaily is on its way to a new home down south so I Have been using the WRX as a daily for the last week. I dont miss it being my daily at all but it was nice to drive it for fun today.

[SpeedySub]

Took the legacy to work today. Took the long way, it was much more fun.

oh awesome. I've got the exact same one at home (hence why I recognised it). Glad to hear it sounds great. it's what I'll be using on the RA once I've finished my twinscroll conversion.

If you could, do you think you could get a video of what it sounds like?

You need to film it for the sound. would love to hear how it sounds 

[THUNDA]

Had a bit of spare time so had another crack at getting the tablet and HU to play nice with each other. Stangely they did almost instantly. Spent hours previously with no luck.

So can now finally run spotify through the tablet and not have to fluff around with the phone. Good times.

 

 

 

Also had a go in one of these little suckers today. Damn good fun. Would get one for sure if money and time played a little more in my favour

Decided the chrome had to go on the front of the legacy, never liked the chrome that car makers seem to plaster all over the front grills now days.

 

So off it came and a few coats with plasti dip came up really well!

Looks good, was thinking of plastidipping mine too but then managed to score a proper mesh grille.
