He did not have any rubbing issues with the older rims though. Even if the struts are shot they're still not the cause of the rubbing.

My prediction: New shocks in Still rub +35 offset is your main issue, as @Andy_Mac said you will need to remedy that by guard rolling and/or camber mods.

Tuned by STI and probably the same ones on S402 too. Mine are a wagon version so yes will bolt right on.

I'd probably get DBA rotors instead. Those thickened shoes are not cheap at all and could only find them in the UK. Was a few years ago though so might've changed now

Subaru to ISO and the ISO to whatever stereo you replace it with Repco, Supercheap or Trademe will have them.

Long gone sorry. Have STI quads if you fancy those.

What does your steering wheel look like? I have a feeling that it is the same as a 2003-2006 (Rev A-C) Legacy and the same era Imprezas. Anyway, I reckon it might just be easier sourcing a steering wheel with factory stereo control buttons and retrofitting that. See here

Correct. The unit is positioned in the dash. Incorrect. Completely different windscreens as the area where HUD is projected on to is distorted/has different reflective properties. Yes you can fit a normal glass but the HUD image will be blurry.

If you're planning an insurance fraud might as well just delete this post. Insurance companies are not as dumb as some might think. And my $0.02. I had a heated windscreen of my BH5 initially replaced by Novus - installed a LHD made in China special with heated strip on the opposite side from where RHD ones are. Left a decent mess as well. After a few phone calls to my insurance company a new genuine glass was ordered from Japan. S&S installed it and did a stellar job. Though they were obviously toldb by the insurer to not furk it up or else they won't get paid. If bimmers glass gets farked I'd be going straight to the dealer and let them talk to my insurance company. Way too many sensors, cameras as well as a HUD set-up.

Ultraracing do an underbody brace combined with the swaybar reinforcement brackets, Pro Wholesale in Tauranga should be able to source you one. Also Cusco do a kit. Tried both and UR will be my preferred option.

This trooper... rocking no mufflers at all. Sounds like absolute farting crap.

Haven't had a chance to have any measured runs, factory number is 5.5s. From what I've read GPS based meter apps are fairly inaccurate, not surprisingly. Will still give me an idea and a benchmark to compare to especially if I finally decide to do a remap. Just trying to convince myself and justify a price tag of $1k+...

Looks way to complicated for my basic needs 🙄

Soo... my diesel tractor has a factory launch control. Much fun indeed. Now, curious to see what it does 0-100 with/without the LC - what is the best free logging app? Android of course. This is what it looks like, not my vid:

Instruction manuals actually have a list of all the bulb types you might need. That is where my info came from.

I had some exhaust work done by Highbrook (BLE) and Subirex (535i). Ajay did a very good job on the bimmah and if I was to do an exhaust job again I'd go to him. Highbrook was ok by pricey. All gone sorry.

I used D2S in both BL5 and BR9, doubt yours will be different. Osram Xenarc from ebay, were around $100/pair back then.

Not as bad as some BMW options I am eye-balling PS: doing cruise control mod as well (or did it already)?

Saw it on FB... back in the days I'd have most likely snapped it too

Automated toll road payment thingy, my bet is on it Rip it out!

Glad I am not alone...

Fark me... I take stuff like that very personally as someone who's been in two fairly serious crashes less than a year apart. Glad you/others are all good though, that's the most important part.

Haha negative sorry as mine was a basic Kenwood. A friend of mine swapped their for a Polk DB840 (8" and 4Ohm McIntosh specs). No Idea how to remove the rear deck but I am sure there's a how-to video/write-up somewhere. I have a suspicion that it is just held by some plastic clips. Pics from the install:

Pretty sure someone else had a similar issue just recently.

From my experience some aftermarket sedan mufflers actually look all good when fitted on a wagon. STI/Genome definitely has to be a correct version.
