That Spec.B badge is also a mod, they only come on the USDM models.

Oh just realised it's in your signature.

Welcome.

After 3 hours I have just installed the front lip, but I'm not totally happy. I need to get the front bar resprayed the previous owner had scraped the shit out of the spoiler. The scratches can be seen on top of the lip.

Ha, Funny thing is I never really wanted white I always preferred the diamond grey.

But I am so glad I got the white instead.

So got a price for a respray $500, not gunna get one now as I crunch some k's on the highway and quite often end up stuck behind road trains. Until I see the open road.

So ive ordered some touch up paint from Subaru. $40 in total.
Had to get base white and a seperate pearl.

Once in I'll fix it up and put some photos up. :mrgreen:

Ok so yesterday, I had my K&N filter arrive via post bought eBay for $54 delivery. Beats the $110 plus extra to order it in
Installed it with no dramas. Not a noticeable mprovement but it has changed the note of the exhaust slightly.

Regarding the noises I have in the front I took it to subaru and they couldnt find anything. But I've booked it in and they will have a better look. Not just the apprentice.

You should definitely still respray your front bar, then buy a car bra!

Ive noticed as the car is driven for longer periods of time it becomes more prominent.
So it's obviously a part that warns up over usage and makes those noises then.

If that would help

After reading quite a few members removing their resonator i thought id do the same. So Today I set out doing it, after a little bit of trouble due to having the wrong tools I managed to get it out.

After turning the car on I had the cruise and (s) flashing intermittently. At this point I got a little worried.
I then unplugged the battery to reset the ecu.

After this it was all good.

I just wondered why wasnt this my first mod?
