  1. I installed my 60mm Defi gauges and installed my new pod made by Ortiz Custom Pods. Also installed a charger with USB C and a volt meter. And I relocated the dimmer knob for the supercharger cooling fan to the steering column. Lots of little stuff but it had to be done.
  2. There is a forum member in Hawaii that makes wiring adapters for various JDM things. Headlights being one of them. Anyone know his name off the top of their head?
  3. I think similar to stock. Probably a restriction on my car now after my power upgrades. This video is with Raptor headers, high flow cats and a STi mid pipe
  4. I’ve been wanting to try a couple things but don’t have the time. Maybe someone else can try. Try disconnecting the G sensor located behind the shifter. Or disconnect the steering angle sensor behind the airbag. Not sure what other systems get input from those sensors but disabling either one should definitely kill VDC. And to get rid of the light, remove the bulb would probably be the only way.
  5. I’m using an OEM Outback pump without issue. Using Whiteline isn’t a requirement but you’ll have to see if you have enough toe adjustment when you put your tie rods on.
  6. I’ll be back in WA in mid June. I’m pretty much done working on my car and would like to go one some drives this summer. We met at the last Wagonfest
  7. There are quite a lot of 3.0L from 2005-2009 but none in USA are manual. The car is very custom and a lot of fun to drive.
  8. I agree. So I got mine extended. Yours look amazing. Nice and new. That’s a good deal.
  9. My first time welding! I welded together some pipes, flanges and made a mounting bracket. Huge improvement over my old exhaust. now I have single 3” or dual 2.5” the whole way. The supercharger should be able to breathe harder now. Sound clip
  10. I just did this swap about a month ago on my Outback 3.0R. I used Whiteline outer tie rods, bushings and Cusco brace. You DO NOT need to cut your inner tie rods, they did not bottom out even with jam nuts removed.....plenty of depth in the Whitelines. At full adjustment I was slightly toe-out. I purchased thinner jam nuts and now there is plenty of adjustment. I bought a toe measuring tool and I got to 0 degrees toe and have more adjustment to spare if needed. VDC is giving me a little trouble. It's kicked on 3 times so far. Each time was in a medium speed right bend in 3rd gear off throttle. One time a car was following me pretty closely through the turn and that was not a situation I want repeated so I plan to disable it one way or anothe as soon as possible. I'm re-reading this thread and checking out the linked STi threads but so far I don't see a full workaround for the VDC. Is programming an Ardurino an option? I already have one for my 6MT swap so throwing a few more codes in there might not be difficult. Or can a tuner do something to fix or disable it? I don't want any dash lights on long term.
  11. I bought my ticket. And this year the weather is actually going to be nice. I hope we have another BP meetup beforehand
