  1. Can you totally remove the roof racks / rails, so the roof is smooth like a normal car? I like these new outbacks, except for the massive roof racks, high ride height, and lots of black plastic bumpers / guard arches etc. Don't know why they didn't make a Legacy version like they've always done before.
  2. Yes I've seen their stuff, but they have a turbo, manual gearbox, Haltech ECU etc. I just want the stock standard 3.6 engine with factory ECU and my auto gearbox and TCU to all work together
  3. Wondering if anyone has swapped in a 3.6 engine to replace the 3.0, and were there any surprises or was it a straight swap? The 3.6 is 21mm ( 0.81" ) longer due to some change in the camshaft drive, so it should fit without any problems. I've heard you need the ECU to go with the 3.6, and possibly the TCU? My car is 2007 so is Canbus, and also has the 5EAT auto gearbox. All the 3.6 cars have the CVT gearbox, so I don't think the CVT TCU would work with my 5EAT, which I think I'd like to keep, and just change the engine. So would my 3EAT TCU work with the 3.6 ECU and everything would talk and be happy together?
  4. Very nice!!! Love this colour, and the wheels look great.
  5. His last post on his own forum was July 20, so only last month. I tried to register there, but it asks "what Subaru model is the fastest?" I tried "Legacy", "Impreze", and "WRX" but all failed so I dunno? http://www.xtremeracingtuning.com/forum/index.php
  6. 98 ( the best I can get here ), car is stock standard ADM version with 5EAT and 160,000km
  7. Did you get the headers? Fitted and tuned? Are they the Raptor headers? Was watching a youtube vid last night about 3.0 engine, they said this engine pings a lot, mostly because of the poor factory exhaust manifold design. My car pings heaps too, as confirmed by BtSsm, so I'm looking for a set of headers.
  8. Dunno cos I hardly ever get to run on the highway or open road
  9. I'm averaging around 12.2litres per 100km ( 23 mpg ). My car has just turned over 150,000km, and I don't know if / when it had a set of plugs, so I got a set of standard factory plugs in my last order from Partsouq. So I'll fit them one day soon and see if that changes anything.
  10. OK but how can you tell the quality of the OTG cable? They all look the same? You guys got a link to the one you bought that works?
  11. Lucky you. I'm about to put a sledge hammer through my dash. The pos works as it should on BtSsm for a couple of drives, then gives the "USB device not available", so I reboot the Nexus and it comes back on and works another couple of drives. Then the other day I got in the car and started and the Nexus wouldn't start at all, dead as a door nail. So I took it out and back on the bench at work and the stupid thing has changed itself out of FI ( fixed installation ) mode so it didn't sleep last time I turned the car off so has been going the whole time and flattened the battery It's done that a couple of times on the bench at work too, and I've yet to figure out why. Everytime I have to reboot it to get BtSsm working again the gauges go all to hell and I have to resize and reposition them Also with Google Maps, I have downloaded some so I can use them offline. I have location turned on on the Nexus ( the little icon is at the top right of the screen ), yet it doesn't know where I am more often than not when I open the Google maps app. Then after I've been driving a while and I keep pressing the symbol which is the crosshairs inside the circle, sometimes it will finally work and know where I am, and then I can put in an address of where I'm going and it'll work fine. But more often than not it can't get my location for whatever reason. I'm always outside, not inside a parking building or under a concrete bridge or anything stupid. Getting tired of having it in the car for 2 days before it shits itself then having it out for a week trying to get it to work and repeating the cycle. Starting to loose hope. Everything seems to be set so it should work properly, and it does every once in a blue moon, but it never lasts. Can;t for the life of me work out how or why it changes it's settings by itself for no apparent reason. I build race cars not computers, but it can't be that hard can it? I've got it this far??
  12. I'm watching with much interest as I have a 2007 facelift 3.0 / 5EAT with very low IAM and lots of knock events. My LV charts looks like yours, except my Learn% 2nd row usually has negative values in there.
  13. So apart from replacing them, is there a way to test the MAF and O2 sensors? Can they be tested in situ? I don't think ( hope not ) it's a mechanical issue as the car runs very well, and if not for having the Nexus 7 / BtSsm I would have no indication it is knocking all the time.
