colour coding looks way better mate! Grill looks good too! Good job

[Shaz]

Definitely needs some new wheels. 18x9.5 at least. Not a huge fan of the stickerbombing, but, its your car mate, and as long as you are happy with it, thats all that matters.

Welcome to SC.

Enjoy your stay.

Cheers,
Shazza

[Rustyrobertson]

Welcome! it looks great

[Beckers]

Looks heap better now, well done.
The USDM cars are very different to the AUDM outbacks.

Once rear bar coded, less sticker bomb, would look tits, Grille looks sweet!
and maybe some real dark tints to match the whole black thing!

[FR34KO]

I think partly the problem with the sticker bombing is that is comprised moslty of white looking colours... If it was mostly made up of darker colours, i think it'd look ace!

Rest of the car looks great, the wheels too man!

Oh..Possibly paint the chrome edge of the grille black? Just my initial reaction to it..

Nice car mate.

You went to all the effort to colour code and make it look clean and then stickerbombed it?

Stickerbombing has a time and a place, like on a dirty old KE70 Corolla with 10" wide BBS rims. The OBK would look epic without it.

[Jon]

thanks all,

ive been thinking of more things to add to the wish list of things to come!

the rain has been getting to the stickerbomb so that prob wont be around much longer

and thanks for all the compliments on the grill! i made it my self with gutter guard

once i finish the color coding i'd like to get a new set of tails, i hate the orange corners

[Jon]

Love the colour coding, suspension drop and grill. Not a fan of the bulbous front bar or the sticker bombing.

From looking at your CAI, I'm not surprised to hear it's noisy. Mind you, that's all it will do.... There will be zero performance gains.

Regardless of my love/hate relationship, you're doing some good work on the Outback and have made it look a million times better than a standard, dare I say it, ugly US delivered Outback. Keep up the good work and welsome to SC.

[skillionaire]

Hi,

Keep moddin' away mate! You wouldn't get that CAI over the pits in Australia, that's for sure!

Enjoy!

Cheers,
Nik

[aekOne]

good effort with the CAI mate

[Jon]

Thanks for the responses!

what would make it noisy? i've noticed it has a hair more pep than before like when im getting on the highway

[bobbyjimmy]

what would make it noisy?

No resonator box and an open ram pod in the engine bay.

[SUBARU]

What he said!

You'll find the extra pep is nothing more than a placebo effect.

[Jon]

oh ok so it wont hurt anything being like that i assume?

[SUBARU]

No, it won't hurt anything. You will have to make sure that the filter remains clean though. Given that it's not in a protected box, it will be exposed to more dust and grime that gets thrown around in the engine bay.
