OK, it has been enough time and excuses for not putting up a profile.
with a couple of mods last week, things gotta change. so here is my profile page.

I got a white 2.5 NA Gen V wagon before Xmas 2012.
MY10, built in 2010 May, Premium Trim
previous owner put in a tow bar and some DVD players in the headrest.
other than that it's all stock.


First things I added on was a DAMD steering Wheel and a Stock rear spoiler in Mar 2013.
I posted it in the cosmetics section.

and here is how it looks afterwards.

2nd Lot,

December 2013
saw TWPanson was doing a Thanksgiving deal for Clear/Chrome Valenti rear lights.
fall in love at first sight and went for it.
took a little while to put all 4 pieces in myself.

The side ones are easy.

The ones on the rear door is kinda frustrating to put on :angry2:
turns out had to take out the entire bar above the number plate lights as well.
after digging through some manuals and some brute force, finally put them in.

Round 3:

March 2014

Lincon planted the idea of completing the Valenti rear set with adding the High Mount Stop Light.
TWPanson wasn't responding to my PMs at the time so I took matter into my own hands.


ended up ordering 2 of these from Amazon Japan, the other one (of course black) was for Lincon.

Have to say the box was a bit fancy , carefully wrapped and decorated.

if standing directly behind the car, it becomes super bright when you hit the breaks
At night, i can see the car behind got immersed in red when stopping at traffic lights.
will try to get a snap in the future.

Crystal eyes now installed Kevin? pics!

Mods so far look good... good to see a white on white theme for something different.

Have you got any plans for some lowerings springs or coilovers, a front lip, and new rims?

Nice! Looks much better now it's completed. I reckon some lowering springs should be next. Btw did you get a retune from Matt?

Round 3 Continues...

as some of you might spot, the last photo was taken @ Garage88.
Late March 2014, had a trip to Garage88 and Michael helped installed the DAMD Rear Spoiler that I ordered earlier.

didn't get a chance to snap the progress inside the workshop so here is how the finished work looks:

Looking great!
LED lights seem to suit Gen V better than Gen 4.

What model comes with that rear bar? I've seen a few on the road and I've been trying to work it out. Is it a limited edition or something?

Couple of Night Shots:

This is only idle, when break is applied they go really bright.

That's the subaru stock accessory rear bar, (flat exhaust point type)
Subaru AU only have this available for BM Sedans,
and for wagon, only the round exhaust point is available
had to import from Japan unfortunately, (wallet hurting).

suits much better on a wagon don't you think? :D

better post some more while baby is asleep.

Round 4. May 2014.
my stock tyres are running thin, so either spend a grand to replace all 4 tyres.
or
for half of the cost, find a forum member who just wanted to get rid of some stock 18"s.

so had a drive one evening down to Liverpool and picked up 4 stock 18" from Leo (real name Michael).
Spacious Wagon FTW.

The wheels are a huge improvement!!
Yeah I like the rear bar. Does it have a dual exhaust too now?
