  1. PM sent instead. Why won't they just let me delete this?
  2. The reason they are paranoid is because in Japan, they break down the cars by the actual year it was manufactured, and then the model revision. So your car is a BL, rev. B, Model Year 2005. See, the problem is, here in America they sell cars within a certain period of the end of the year, and they then call it the next year's model. That's extremely confusing when you think about it, and makes getting the exact part for some cars hard. For instance, we have DBW controllers that need a different wiring harness between pre-2006 models and post 2006 models. But because Subaru would call some 2005 models 2006, they didn't use the newer harness. And it's random which is which. That's why you need a VIN at a dealer to get some parts.
  3. I still have that 08-09 Liberal Front Bumper to go with those fenders..
  4. No, sorry. The bumpers generally don't cost that much, but the shipping does. Unless I'm doing a container over worth of body parts, the per cost on them is quite high. That 08 bumper I've got cost me 800 to get over here, I'm basically selling for a loss. Regards, Paul Hansen http://www.avoturboworld.com http://www.facebook.com/avoturboworld
  5. Just a reminder, I still have this sitting in the storeroom: New Liberal Albero Front Bumper cover for the 08-09 Legacy wagon/sedan. Comes with mesh inserts and brackets to mount standard foglamps. $400.00 or best offer. http://www.avoturboworld.com/media/0806_liberal_lgt04.jpg http://liberal-aero.com/products/parts/legacy_bpbl_def/img/01k.jpg Does not include the lip spoiler in the picture above. Designed to look similar to the Spec B bumper in Japan. Regards, Paul Hansen http://www.avoturboworld.com http://www.facebook.com/avoturboworld
  6. They can be gotten, but don't get them pre-painted. There's no way they'll make the trip over the ocean unscratched.
  7. It's been a while, so maybe... The problem was that the overfenders would have pushed it out of the size class it was in for parking/tax reasons, so it's possible that it was available, but nobody bought it. I can't recall ever seeing one on the street.
  8. Doh! I even have photos of it I took: http://www.sevenphotos.com/soobserver/data/07_legacy_preview.data/size_2/_L2Y6562.jpg But I believe that was introduced back into Japan with the facelift in 07 (08 elsewhere). I don't recall ever covering an Outback for the 04-06 model years. Regards, Paul Hansen http://www.avoturboworld.com http://www.facebook.com/avoturboworld
  9. Japan back-imported USDM Outback body pieces, because Japan didn't get the Outback. Regards, Paul Hansen http://www.avoturboworld.com http://www.facebook.com/avoturboworld http://www.stillhavethat08-09liberalbumper
  10. STI hangers are definitely different. WRX Sedan mufflers have hangers that are close to the same as the 2010 Legacies. They are not perfect, but they can be, ah, massaged to fit. STI mufflers, I imagine you need to re-do the hangers at a hanger shop, and I'm not sure that the flanges are the correct orientation.

  11. I'll check on this, because there's a chance the issue may be with whiteline stabilizer bars. Regards, Paul Hansen http://www.avoturboworld.com
  12. Just so nobody makes any mistakes on this, the center section of the 2010 Legacy/Outback exhaust is different than the 08 WRX/STI or 09 Forester. This is a photo of our center pipe section for the 08 WRX Sedan vs. the 2010 Legacy. The one at the top is the 2008 Impreza, the one at the bottom is the 2010. http://www.avoturboworld.com/media/centerpipe_comparo.jpg Besides a minor difference in bends, there's a major difference in length. Both of those pieces are designed to fit to a stock downpipe, so maintain the proper length compared to stock. What the 2010 Legacy and 2008 Impreza sedan share is the same Y-pipe design and flanges where they meet the mufflers. The mufflers are *nearly* identical, however there is differences in the hangers which will cause some difficulty in lining the mufflers up in the cutouts correctly.

  13. With a tune, the intake will return some benefits. Tuning an n/a will never have as large of a return as on a turbo, but their will be some gains. And I noticed I felt them more, probably because 2-5whp gained is more noticeable on a 104whp car than a 200+ whp car. Regards, Paul Hansen http://www.avoturboworld.com
  14. On a stock engine, the gains would be minimal. I doubt you'd see any at all that were not 100% from the tune itself. You would only see gains if the stock engine was running out of fuel for any reason, and it's not, not in stock format. The reason you need the turbo fuel pump and the 440cc injectors with our kit is fairly simple - you are basically doubling the whp! Regards, Paul Hansen http://www.avoturboworld.com
  15. Hey what is the address to your shop in Seattle?
