Got some oem subaru sports pedals because before my ownership someone had put some crappy random ones on plus racecar lol

 

 

Got them installed, was more difficult than i thought it would be. Accelerator pedal had a pin which was annoying to get out but wasnt too bad getting back in, also had to trim some metal off the bottom of both the brake and clutch to get it to fit on properly but nows shes gem! 

 

 

also i nice pic of my engine bay with the grimmspeed alternator cover fit on properly

Front swaybar looks like a 22mm+ also. Took it to nelson and it drives so nice, handles way better then my last gtb.

Picked up some bigger 4 inch fog lights to fit to the wagon, going to be hard making them fit nicely since the original ones are 2 inch I think

Need the outback bumper [emoji6]

Was thinking about getting it but was told that it won't work due to those extra little flares

Yeah they are slightly different unfortunately.

Over the weekend I the Legacy ticked over a small milestone:

[Loren]

Not today, but Sunday... HVMC autox, placed 3rd out of a large field of 53

My fastest run for the day

He’s alive. Front or top?

Done much else to the car in your 6 month ClubSUB hiatus?

Top mount as it'll work for now without cert issues. Still really want front mount though. That was to big for plane.

have 4 port solenoid and dual port Wastegate turn up to see how far I can push the stock turbo.

 

should have new suspension on the way next week. Just OEM replacement type but shortened 

 

Tomorrow may try the swapping of the vacuum pipe of BOV and fuel reg you suggested.

Car has decided to only provide heated AC to the drivers side and just blows cabin air to the passenger side.
Not sure if its a heater core issue or a faulty actuator in the AC unit.

Get a load of this. You know a courier company is sh!t when a parcel that was sent Monday from Dubai arrives before an 'overnight' parcel sent (last) Friday in Christchurch....

Thanks Fastway...
Also, no it hasn't arrived yet.
Relation is that it's car parts I need to get my RA running this weekend.

So what started off as what I thought would be a quick fix... has turned a few hours with half the dash apart.

Turns out one of the aircon actuator valves has started to go. Can't get heat to the passenger side of the car.
Didn't manage to fix it as it requires a full dash removal and heater core being taken out.

Will have to get it looked at when taking the car in for the airbag and wiper recall.

Oh man. Sounds like a fun job.

Definitely something worth tackling yourself if you can find the help. Be a lot of money on labour in a shop.

I'm also a cheap ass, hence why I'd do it myself

Yeah I've got the service manual. Which has a 20 page guide on removing the dash...
Thought that since the recall for the airbag replacement probably requires dash removal, they might be able to get it done at the same time.
Will get a quote before going ahead with anything tho.

Bought another one, oops

Front inner CV popped pulling out of my driveway. New complete driveshaft from Repco and about ten minutes, sorted.

Yesterday I took my GF8 out for a quick stretch of the legs just to make sure everything is in order before I move out of Auckland. Could barely hit 5000rpm with the amount of traffic, on a Saturday arvo on SH20. But it builds boost nicely and feels responsive. Perhaps that hole in the old compressor-ic pipe was already there but smaller before.
