Looks good!

Definitely do the tune - it makes the car so much more driveable and you generally get a fuel efficiency bonus too.

thanks!

tune is very likely going to happen - the time it takes the gearbox to kick down and the fuel consumption are a bit annoying...the power increase would be very welcomed as well!
just sussing out if i want to make changes to my exhaust set up first. may put an center + y pipe in the mix, just don't want it to be overly loud!

Just make sure you fit a big-ass resonator on your centre pipe and you shouldn't have drone. I'd vote centre + y pipe then a tune with Matt :wink:

hey mate! great car u got yourself there!!!
funny enough i have the same problem with the passenger and rear right door actuators.
ive been qouted by subaru over in Sydney and they qouted me about $400.00 for the passenger and $300 for the right back door!
have you been qouted elsewhere?
i need to fix the actuators also but not willing to pay $700 to fix em!
thanks

seems i got no choice but to tunne! reckon a xforce center/y pipe will pair up fine? or go for an ultrex one? any idea on prices?

man the actuators are the biggest pain in the ass, i might attempt the fix myself (clean the motors due to grease build up), but id prob just break all the clips and ruin the door! may just give my local mechanic the walk though, materials and let him clean it for mine and the cars sake!

is that fitting a additional resonator instead of the center pipe , or along side the center pipe?

any recommendations on resonators in stainless!?

I like my exhaust loud only when i open her up!

Can we swap interiors :) I love the cream.. As for the actuators, how'd you go with them? Can I suggest just replacing the whole motor assembly (casing, motor, worm drive etc) with a new unit from the US? Approx $60 per item plus postage and you'll never have another problem..

#14 in the image below is the bit you need (for right hand side front door anyway but my suggestion is to replace all four doors)

haha yeah the cream is sweet...shows up dirt more though!

i gave the actuators a shot last weekend. got to the motor, couldnt open the little bastard up to clean it so soaked it in contact cleaner. didnt work, so ill be looking just to replace the motors in each door (except front door).

looking at either using: http://www.hiteksystems.co.nz/automotiv ... 7?cPath=30 or http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mabuchi-Door ... 515wt_1163

Sick job on the LEDs mate!!

Looks sooo good! How did you do the high mount brake light?! I can't seem to separate the globe from the housing!

Also the Any Car gadget you have... how did you go about the installation of that?

cheers man!

ah the high mount! the red part separates from the housing, there is 2 clips that sit at the back of the housing, pushing them to the side or just moving them around will eventually unclip them...its a bit tricky to do it first off, but once thats done you can get in there heaps easier the next time.

and the anycar install:

Image

there is a awesome walk through in the how do i section...its actually super easy. i ran the cable under where the cup holders are, and underneath the center storage box. few screws in there allow you to lift everything up - drill a hole in the bottom, pull the cable - connect - double side tape the unit and done! no more fucking cd's!!!
