I would be the one forum member keen on this! That sounds like my WRX build that is probably on here but years out of date Now it's onto my N/A Impreza!

Have you got a build thread going for all of this? I'm curious...

It came from when Chris Bishop said we could pay for RUCs monthly via an app.

For the PopeMobile - I threw in the Alpine Headunit from my WRX into it. Definitely a step up from the Fusion.

So, these little gauges can hook into the CAN system and then ... read whatever? Clever! Another reason for me to get a Link..

Being the long weekend, just been paid, thought time for a mini project - so I popped down to my local Supercheap, picked up a new Headunit for my WRX: The mini project was ... 30 minutes all up. Including time to figure out why my front speakers weren't working, I had the RCA's for the Sub and the AMP around the wrong way. Despite having an AMP.. this headunit sounds MUCH better. I'm happy as!

Aw man, sorry to hear that happened to you! Sh*t happens, no one got hurt, so don't worry! TBH - your theory sound solid, I think these engines are the interference type, so valves and a piston probably kissed.. a lot

I haven't considered it, no, but at the moment I am getting carried away restoring the car than driving it A friend and I went to replace the o2 sensor, but it's well jammed in the header so we popped down to Pick-a-Part but all the 2L subaru's had the headers sworn in half, I guess to get the CAT out easier, FML. In saying that - would anyone know the part number or what 3 wire o2 would fit an EJ204 ? The internet doesn't know about these motors until 2005+ ararrrgh

Swapped steering wheeling for one that is a lot nicer:

Notice. The ol' WRX shell and a loud exhaust = no mid bass. I've got an under seat sub that helps a little but, but it's not loud enough

What speakers did you opt for? I think I put some Focal ones in the WRX, paired with a little Sony 4CH amp, but they sound quite muddy and I haven't been able to EQ them to anything nice. Today - the Popemobile got a new knock sensor and new plugs. It had a CEL which I'm sure was for the knock sensor.. but the one I pulled out looks OEM and only a few years old.. Another thought was it's the o2 sensor.

Last year, a friend Mitch and I went halvsies in a 1999 Impreza SRX with the idea of beating it on the track when he's up from Queenstown and I'd personally use it a hack to take tramping and throw the bike in. Recently I've started to tidy it up a little: I think some new struts all round, 16" wheels with some better rubber and if I can some GTB sway bars, it will be a very fun little car, with no power

Don;'t suppose you'd be able to chuck up some photos at some point? I have a Pi4 kicking about doing not a lot, lack a lot brain cells, but I wonder if I could wrangle together something for my WRX, with some chatgpt help

Not wrong - less interior rattles would be so nice too

A friend put sound deadening on the fuel tank and said it helped a lot.. could be another place to think about.
