  1. I too miss my old 96 Sedan with a 2.2. I parted ways at 375,000 miles after it the 4EAT lost reverse. If the rear wheel arches weren't starting to rust I might still have it. You are correct about it being a pig on gas. I have a 3.0 Outback and I'm getting better MPGs than the 2.2. If the 2.2 had any balls that wouldn't be so bad but it is anemic after 45MPH.
  2. Thanks for reviewing Nokians Zline A/S. That tire has been on my short list for my next set... after winter.
  3. The trunk lid tensioner must be boppin along with the subs cone
  4. You can go a different route. I installed a single DIN signal processor head unit that is more flexible and cleaner than a cleansweep. Pioneer DEH-80PRS. It cost $250. The front separates are inexpensive. $30 each Silver Flute W17RC38-04 6.5" Woofer Wool Cone 4 ohm. $34 each Peerless XT25TG30-04 1" Ring Radiator Tweeter 4 ohm. It's a common setup at DIY Mobile Audio. Google this speaker, It is the Gemme Audio Tanto which uses the exact same drivers in them. They are reviewed on this link. http://www.stereomojo.com/Tanto%20Review/GemmeAudioTantoReview.htm Below is a link to the install on my car. I included detailed speaker depth measurements near the end of the replies. http://www.subaruoutback.org/forums/109-gen-3-2005-2009/380226-2005-2009-outback-legacy-audio-system-upgrade.html
  5. 1996 Legacy L 368030 Miles. R.I.P. 4eat failure. I figure I got my moneys worth.
  6. I saw those small gaps at the bottom you zeroed in on in a couple photos. You could always order the JDM shift trim. + the color should match the new HVAC/HU trim.
  7. Came out looking good. Where did you source the USB port. I'd like to find one with USB-C port.
  8. Good thread. Speaking for myself, I'm thinking ecu tuning is next to learn. That looked expensive.

  10. Without using diodes to isolate each map light, the lights would no longer operate independently. It would probably/possibly feed into the overhead (behind sunroof) light when turning on either of the map lights.
  11. I was looking forward to the success of this mod. I wish it worked for me. I don't know exactly why it took out my headlights. I don't see anyone else in this thread with this result. I at least posted what had to be done to restore the headlights
  12. I just reported that the mod worked. (I left it in the garage without even starting the car before reporting success) I went to my car later after dark for first start. Headlights and driving lights flashed for a second when I turned them on-then went dark, highbeams=NO! Now nothing but parking lights. DONT DO THIS MOD Replaced fuse # 18 (10A) by drivers knee. Returned wires to prior. All works as before. I think they actually blew as I put it into reverse. I think it has to do with changing polarity on the map lights. I jumped in, started it, dropped into reverse before interior lights had a chance to dim.
  13. I read the first post about using only this kit. I was transferring all my audio stuff from my 96 Legacy to my 05 Beaner and have a single DIN head unit. I apologize in advance about breaking your rule of only using this kit. For others who want an option or just for shits/giggles, here is plan B. http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr85/smstavros/2005%20Outback%20Stereo/P1020102_zpsm5vfkui7.jpg A link to the install walk-through. http://www.subaruoutback.org/forums/109-gen-3-2005-2009/380226-2005-2009-outback-legacy-audio-system-upgrade.html
