TylerHartman's 2006 2.5i Wagon (SWP)

I got stuck with my Honda Element since I couldn't find a decent Subaru for the money and I was sick of not having a car. But the whole time all I wanted was a Subaru wagon, Here's what I actually wanted when I ended up with that car My plan was to buy a GT Wagon, FXT or OBXT This year but since I ended up buying my 99 LGT Project car that I'm in the works of turboing I decided this 2.5i was the most grown up choice when I saw it on eBay and since I plan on Keeping this for a while and going with me into my journey of adulthood LOL

It's a 2006 Legacy SE 2.5i Wagon (BP) It's currently got 103k on the clock, One owner, Full-service history on the Carfax including timing belt at 75k, No wrecks, and a California car its whole life, Even though it's an automatic I have the 99LGT For hoon time so A/T Is alright, It's even better being White (SWP) and having a sunroof.

It was a Total win after seeing the carfax, made an offer and set it all up. the car should arrive this week (first week of May 2016) at that time I'll update my Thread with better pics.

I'd love to find a wrecked Outback/GT Limited and swap the seats for Black Leather, I have a serious fetish for the Black BP Leather.... Awkward..

Since mine isn't a fancy Limited, I have some options it seems. things get harder if you have a higher tier model. No Digital Climate control here, Just basic knobs.

She's here, Sadly the seller didn't send the title so that should be a fun freakin time.. but here's some picture's.

Junkyard finds

Just did a Full Synthetic oil change and Changed my rear diff oil.

Also Got some JDM, Heated and power folding mirrors with Turn signals on the way from a 2.0GT. It'll be a while before I see them though.

JDM Battery and Washer Covers as well.

Update: You know that moment when you say your not going to mod your daily? Ummm...

It's Getting tinted Tuesday afternoon. thinking 20% all around or 35% Front and 20% Rear doors and windows.

Also de-badged the trunk today

Outback Grille

Here's some pictures I took back in august

20% Done!

Okay well, I decided to swap the old Legacy grille back today, Might Plasti dip this week, Baked and removed the amber marker in my OEM Lights today and polished them.

I have JDM Tails and Rear fog in the mail, Might pick up a 05 Outback fog light stalk and relay this week so I can get fogs installed soon.

Started on Cutting up my spare dash vent for my Nexus Car PC Project.

Also unsoldered the plug off the spare control head so I can put the MPG screen in the glove box with my extender cable

08/09 outback tailights would be sweet. Nice looking wagon!

Super Excited for the JDM Tails. Should be here Monday

Went to the junkyard today and got some parts in the mail.

Those taillights are just so clean...I may have to invest in a pair sooner rather than later. Really clean car. I dig the steering wheel too.

Thanks, bro! I know they change the look of the rear end. when You do, Checkout JDM Parts NW. They are on Facebook. Got a very good deal on a set with the Rear fog and no waiting on overseas shipping:-P

:Update! Pulled off my wheel to hopefully try to locate my whine in the rear end at highway speeds/Around corners. Assuming rear wheel bearing just don't have any way of ID'ing the failing one And found bushings starting to crack and leaking rear struts.. checked the front out and I need Front LCA Bushings and Sway bar bushings up there. There was a clunk going over bumps so i'm not shocked by my findings.

So far I've ordered Whiteline W0506 Front Inner Bushings, Plan to buy the rest of the bushings in white line as well. Any recommendations for other stuff to check or replace let me know.

Currently deciding If I want to go with a Basic KYB Strut, a Better Bilstein or Koni Strut or Go with Basic coil overs. I'd love to lower it a Little but it's not needed. Still, need to figure out my priorities

:Update JDM Rear Fog light Partly installed, I haven't officially done the wiring but did plug it into my backup lights and tested it. Going to be cool when it's all done. http://i.imgur.com/7MntWcs.jpg

I recommend the Mevotech aluminum LCAs. They come with hardened rubber bushings and beefier new ball joints. Cost is about the same as new bushings.

I've been tempted to go that route since I'll end up with Alloy Arms too but I've heard the Ball Joints are bad on some of their arms so I'm not sure what I should do.

Mine were fine.
