  1. The ones in the first post are for the Subaru 5MT. He's working on ones that will fit the 5th gen 6MT.
  2. Ugh, yeah, photobucket screwed everything up. I was in the process of backing everything up last week and I got sidetracked. I'll try and get the photos for this rehosted somewhere soon. Here's a link to the whole set of photos on Flickr for now
  3. 4-6hr for a shop to install an AOS??? That's crazy! Sounds more like they just don't want to do it.
  4. Other than the camber, OEM specs should be fine. Like GTEASER said, the rear camber can't be adjusted. Should still be able to get the toe to factory specs. When I was on coils, I had a little more negative camber than OEM up front too. I was at -1.1 and the specs called for -0.8. Not really a big deal. Waaaay better than the -3 on both sides that it was at before the alignment, lol I'd just tell them to get it as close to OEM spec as they can and you should be fine.
  5. That's what I'm thinking as well. The older 2.0L WRX just had a softer spring since they didn't see much boost on the stock tune. That's why lots of people upgraded to the unit from the STi.
  6. More like rocket surgery, lol Still curious if the 5th gen BPV leaks because of a soft spring or because the plastic construction is crap.
  7. At least the larger diameter tires on a 5th gen should make the gearing a little less short.
  8. Sure the function is identical. But it's plastic vs metal and a different shape. Chances are, the places he drilled/tapped probably aren't there. Is it possible? Maybe, but I'm just saying you're not going to be able to follow those instructions step by step. Probably going to have to take the BPV off, analyze it, and then improvise.
  9. I'm not sure how well that "$0.16" mod is going to work since the 5th gen has a much different BPV than the 2003 WRX had...
  10. There's no EGT sensor from the factory. You'd have to get an aftermarket EGT gauge to monitor that.
  11. Sounds about right. The only reason I can think of to change the OEM manifold is if you go EWG or if you're getting some custom manifold to mount a larger turbo down there... It's great that a company wants to make new parts for the 5th gen, I just wish they were making a useful part.
  12. That's gotta be stock vs tuned with the header. I just can't see the OEM manifold being that much of a restriction...
  13. Like BBPeik said, the gear indicator won't turn on until your foot is off the clutch. But you can pop the gear lever into neutral (in the middle, not in any gear, foot off the clutch) and coasting will display a gear number if the RPMs are appropriate for a given gear. It's been a while, so I can't remember all the gear ratios and whatnot. But say at 65mph in 6th gear you're at 2500rpm and in 5th gear at 65mph you're at 3500rpm. So you're coasting along at 65mph in 6th gear, pop the gear lever into neutral, rev the engine to 3500rpm (hold it there) and the gear indicator will display 5. This is exactly what my GT did when the OEM clutch was on its way out.
