  1. No longer mine, but still kicking around the shop.
  2. I'm still running mine open. I was behind on the project and that wiring was the last thing I wanted to do. Snow is not that fun right now. haha. I'll tackle it this spring along with my JDM double din. I love flogging my buddy's sti at autocross. Looking forward to that magic in the XT. This thread was great! The only thing that didn't work out for me in the recipes was the Spec B linkage. I would up using the STi stuff and it worked great. 5mt bezel and shifter is centered.
  3. My dropouts definitely seem related to the adapter. I first started seeing them on a WRX and it was bad, like every WOT I'd lose 3k worth of data. Then started seeing it on my OBXT occasionally. The adapter I was using at the time failed (mini usb connector came apart). I purchased another one and it's been fine on my car since. Ive yet to send my broken one in for repair, but he offered to do it for free. Ive got another OP2.0 that has intermittent flashing issues and haven't tested it on that one.
  4. Nice. My original water pump was stamped as well. I put in a cast version based on suggestions here.
  5. ugggh... You're going to make me sell these Super Pro inserts, aren't you? fyi...the modification to the Super Pro appears to just be trimming the ears off 2 of the pieces.
  6. My subframe is now blasted and ready for paint. I've decided I'm just going to leave the old bushings in and use the inserts referenced earlier in this thread.

    The Perrin piece isn't solid. It's got poly bushings in it. Things not moving around is typically better, no? I couldn't care less about NVH.

    I bought the 5/6spd perrin mount because the Perrin rep said it would work. All you have to do is drill two holes in the crossmember, remove the trans mounting plates from the mount and drill 4 holes in the stock mount with no rubber. Then mount the Perrin piece to the stock metal. Certainly solidifies the driveline and you will feel everything. I also did the Perrin pitch stop at the same time. Then the trans died.

    aaaand reading this http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/jayrex-5eat-rebuild-251969.html I did a full rebuild on a TH400 a few years ago. It's still sitting in the corner next to that project. But it wasn't a hard project. Just a lot of little stuff. hmm

    Pretty much matches symptoms here http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/engine-shudder-shaking-violently-under-wot-acceleration-150988.html Im looking at a local 80k 5eat to put a valve body and diff bearings in. Hoping that would be enough to satisfy me for a little while. Just concerned about buying an unknown trans.

    pooop. Pretty sure I need to get on that new trans purchase asap. Slipping fairly bad in 3rd, manual mode. And there are times I'm getting a violent shudder around 4-4.5k. Car was way up to temp for a while, but my trans temp gauge was hovering around 140 when it slipped badly. After it came up to 160ish, it seems to be holding, but I still get the occasional violent shudder. Its an 05 OBXT w/ forged pistons, VF52 peaking at 21, FMIC, DW1000s, DW300c, inlet, intake, DP, catback. The intake, injectors, pump, catback and FMIC were just put on within the last month and I (was) starting to dial it in.
  12. The center diff lives in ATF? I thought it was part of the front diff. Although, I suppose I have no reason to believe that. edit: I see now. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/5eat-center-diffrential-bulletproofing-122946.html

    I LOVE this trans mount! Such a direct feeling. It used to feel like it had a lot of slop. Definitely an increase in NVH. Slight whine when coasting to a stop. I also did a Perrin dog bone at the same time and I have Group N motor mounts. Everything vibes like crazy, but I love it. Cant wait to finish with the rear subframe rebuild and dial in my RT tables. Eyeballing some local 5eats for sale. May do a rebuild and a hexmods VB for spring time.

    Figured Id post this here instead of getting lost in the WDYD to your Outback or my build thread. Installed a Perrin trans mount today on my 5eat Outback. Did not "fit" quite as easily as the Perrin rep assured me it would prior to my purchase. But it's in there and it's solid. Havent driven the car yet..
