Ordered my japanese plates, can't wait for them to arrive now. Picking up my black prova muffler from Mark next Saturday and my old man is sorting out a day to get my windows tinted tomorrow. Momo will also finally go in next Saturday too so it's gonna be a good day.

Thanks Kong, will update tonight because I put my sub in the other night so photos are in order

[ChrisLovell]

Sub went in on Thursday night, did a nice clean install under the passenger seat. Such a nicer subwoofer compared to the Fusion one I had a while ago.   20150820_211445.jpg   152KB   12 downloads

 

Wiring was fun as I had old wires from the Fusion so my mate decided that we'd wire the Kicker wires up to the Aerpro ones still in the car so I didn't have to change the power or remote wires.  20150820_211139.jpg   130.32KB   12 downloads

 

Luckily it fitted under the seat with the removal of a plug which is for the seat belt detector that I didn't know was on the passenger seat. Sealed up to left rear foot vents for the air so the sub doesn't overheat if I have the heater pumped up. It ended up taking around 2 hours to do it. Really happy with how it turned out.

I hope you vacuumed that carpet!

[ChrisLovell]

Ahhh, sorry? 

[GNGBNG]

Blasphemy

[ChrisLovell]

Blasphemy?

[CRUISN]

I always vac when the seats are out.

[ChrisLovell]

I know I should have but the vacuum was a fair way from me and I couldn't be bothered haha

[ChrisLovell]

Alright! Where to start? Okay so I went and tried out Mark's prova muffler a while back and I decided to wait until his Genome arrived to go and get it, well I finally got to go down and get it from him the other week. We've used industrial rubber and zip ties and exhaust mounts for the time being as you can see.  20150829_122925.jpg   76.38KB   12 downloads

I'm thinking I'm just gonna have to buy universal exhaust hangers and pick a hole that it sits best at. That very same day I made a visit to Chris' house and we managed to finally get my cruise control backet issues sorted on my momo and got it in!  IMG_20150830_112849.jpg   201.87KB   12 downloads

Unfortunately not using the maaad black airbag at the moment until I can get a charge to fit it, so Chris kindly let me use his silver airbag for the time being until I chase up another steering wheel which I think is found.

 

Then last week my JDM spec plates showed up from Vic roads, which I think is a nice touch to the car.  20150902_145320.jpg   83.26KB   12 downloads

Hopefully today my Legacy brackets show up for them so I can have them at JDM spec height on the tailgate. Then this week I've had my windows tinted finally, and I received a package from Rising Sun Subaru.  20150907_160924.jpg   105.92KB   12 downloads  20150907_160940.jpg   98.99KB   13 downloads  20150908_190733.jpg   96.41KB   13 downloads

 

10 points to whoever can guess what the package is. Shouldn't be a hard one to figure out...

 

Special thanks to Mark for the prova, Chris for helping with my momo and Snowball for selling me those legacy brackets

 

 

[CRUISN]

Prova is just a touch better than the cannon.

Slim line weather sheilds in the box.

Where's my prize.

[ChrisLovell]

Here you go, 10 make believe internet points. Don't use them all at once

Yeah the prova is a million times nicer, now just have to sort of when I can get the center pipe changed to fit

[bobbyjimmy]

What about the Kartboy extended hangers?

[ChrisLovell]

Depends on the length of it

Chris came round to my place today, we made up the loom for his levelling gear on the HIDs. Got everything done with the exception of the mains power for the system, as he didn't have one of the add-a-circuit thingos, and it would seem after talking to him tonight that the globe inside the switch may be blown as the illumination doesn't seem to be working on it.

[ChrisLovell]

Yeah what Ben said haha So now I've found out I also need a new RH side HID headlight as my motor is just constantly running and no movement in it through the switch. Tried it on both plugs and no cigar, also need to find out where to get switch globes..

[allpaw4]

Could be a busted linkage between the motor and the reflector assembly too, that would explain why the limit isn't making to shut the motor off, if the reflector hasn't moved and is between settings, the motor will run until it is in position, but with a broken linkage, it'll never make that limit. You could try taking the headlight apart and seeing whats broken, but it's a lot of effort to save 150 bucks. Probably better off just importing another complete light.

With the steering wheel you can interchange the horn pads. I had the same problem when going from the silver cover (JDM airbag charge was bigger) to the black D-E. 

Use a flatblade screwdriver and just pry the airbag out and switch the covers over. Fiddly, but can be done. That way you can use your existing bag/detonator.
