:( Good luck.

Your car description in your profile may be a self-fulfilling prophecy :p Hopefully you'll get to "no longer broken" and get to stay there for a while!

[2.5guy]

Thanks!! there is a reason I say its always broken this is motor number three sense early march.....

[SubyFr3ak]

Thanks!! there is a reason I say its always broken this is motor number three sense early march.....

Well... stop breaking it then! :lol: :D

[2.5guy]

Easier said then done douche!

[2.5guy]

Well its been a long couple of days BUT! I managed to get the 06 dash and center console in, just a few small mods and it fits snuggly. Just need to either switch plugs so the new gauge cluster will fit in or modify my cluster with the 06 houseing. That and HVAC plugs need to get swapped. FYI if you change out your interior MAKE SURE TO PUT YOUR CLUSTER BACK IN! other wise when you start the car it will run off the battery! :unamused:

[2.5guy]

Up in stafford today

I will snap acouple more once I get everything button'd up

[SubyFr3ak]

Dude, that's looking awesome ... I'm jealous! I want to do a right hand drive dash swap to mine once I get some money back :lol:

[subiemommy]

Nice! I keep thinking I need to do a dash swap, but only because I want to get rid of the tan and go with black or gray. But finding doors seats and a dash all the same color, from different places is not happening and no one is selling them all together! haha

Looking good, can't wait to see it finished! (Though I do love the RS dash with the flip up cubbie!)

[buniboo]

Its looking way good!

[2.5guy]

So unfortunitely I had to sell the RS :unamused:
Being unemployed and shit kept breaking just wasn't flying
So I picked up a 97 legacy Outback Limited
Needed Struts
Front and Rear Brakes
Steering Rack

So far I have replaced the struts
new wheels
used 2.5i wagon struts
2.5i front calipers rotors and pads
still havn't changed the rear's over or done the steering rack

Day I picked it up

As it sits now

Eventually I would like a upper spoiler tint the windows full exhaust and swap in a 5spd

[xxthat girlxx]

Good luck with the new car!

[2.5guy]

Wow! I haven't updated on here in forever!!! I have done a few small things mostly maintenance, till a few days ago I got my 06 4pot 2pot brakes and 06 wheels. I did forget I had to have a special bracket to make the 2pots fit in the rear so im trying to convince Subimods to make them in house.

06 wrx brakes compaired to 06 2.5i

all bolted up with wheels

I will take a couple shots of the whole car tomorrow!

[MoN]

Yayy for the Outback! Congrats! How do you like it with the 2.5 struts/springs? Ed's been harrassing me to install some wrx struts/springs, but I kind of like the height, it lets me fly over all the pot hole w/ no prob around here :lol:

[2.5guy]

I love the 2.5 struts it lowered it a little but the ride is still amazing. The 06 tire and wheel set up is much better then the 08. After I get the 2pots on I think sways will be the last thing I mod for a while, cause it will be an all around comfortable fun ride.

[pacharu2.5rs]

Throw some gold rims on it, and itd be awesome!
