Hi,
Your floormats are cool.
Cheers,
Nik
Hi Nik,
I have the same floormats...
but they're black...
and it doesn't say "Outback H6" on them.

Just accept it Shane, the AUDM B4 is just better than the JDM.

Yup, and they were heavy cars even before the auto-box was put in. The H6 engine alone ads 40KG I believe. Plus another 40KG for H6 spec extras apparently.it is designed to be a lazy car, there won't be much you can do about the lack of torque low down. they are heavy cars coupled to an auto tranny = no fun.
I'm thinking CAI eventually? That would make *some* difference. Manual conversion is not really an option at this stage.
I am nitpicking though. Its not bad to drive by any means. But I like to make it as good as I can. Thats all part of the fun I guess!

Having a wagon has already proved mighty useful! My mates laugh at me for upgrading to the old mans car but I suspect they'll be giving me a call when they need help moving house or something
1. I picked up this K&N Performance Air Filter earlier in the week:
The old one was a dirty ratty looking thing. I genuinely felt a slight increase in responsiveness from installing this K&N one, so all in all, a good buy.
2. Today I got a set of replacement front seats + drivers side door trim from an identical H6 Luxury at a wrecker. Those of you who saw the car at the monthly meet noticed the wear and tear on the front seats and this was something I was wanting to rectify ASAP.
Next week...warranty claims. Nothing serious thankfully. Just exercising my rights

check if that K&N filter is dry-based or oil-based.
oil based filters can cause hot-spotting on the MAF
only if you don't know how to apply it properly...

regardless.only if you don't know how to apply it properly...
oiled filters shouldn't be used on cars with hotwire AFM's.
Doesn't mean you can't.
Isn't English your first language, alexxxxxxxxx?
Wagons rock, Shiv. You already knew this.
What the heck is that behemoth in the back of your car? It's freaking bigger than you!
As for Air filters.... I'd drop the resonator, and any other restrictions in the intake. It has been proven many times elsewhere, that the restriction in the intake side of things isn't in the filter, but in the intake paths themselves. More gains to be had replacing intake pipework, rather than wasting coin on expensive filters. You've seen Paul's H6 Liberty? Something like that would be ideal in your situation.
Get the exhaust sorted, and then a flash tune. And you'll be loving life*!
*I take no responsibility in that Labrasaurus Rex loving the exhaust note

Watch those cheap units shiv. I would recommend saving and buying a decent brand mate. I might be able to score you an eclipse for under $2000 if your interested. shiv should have got a hks panel filter of phat gt mate, no oil and you wash it out in waterYup lots of mods on the cards. I'm going to test the resonator removal to see how loud it makes it. I want to make sure it isn't excessively noisy because it has the potential to ruin the otherwise refined character of this car. All a matter of balancing the increased performance with added noise it makes. Exhaust mod will most likely happen further down the line
That big dog you see there is Sandy. Shes a Goldie. Turning 8-years this coming September 11. Big part of why I wanted a wagon! Putting her in the RX was cruel to both her and my rear seats. Now she has all the space in the world. Despite her two steel knees, she jumps eagerly into the cargo area.
Next week I got a set of clear courtesy lights for the doors. Its off a JDM Legacy. Much better than the AUDM red flood lights. I'll chuck some LEDs in there as well whilst I'm at it.
Next month, I'm getting a 7" touchscreen headunit with all the usual (DVD, Bluetooth, iPod con) PLUS rear camera and digital TV tuner. Should be a pretty decent setup!
great looking dog shiv
