    Got some PPF done and a quick clean/seal by Performance Detailz near Lancaster, PA. Rockers all the way into the car, fender vent piece, mirrors, and trunk strip. Really needed the side skirts done as they're so wide they're going to take cone blasts at autocross and they're also a little difficult to step over.

    Unfortunately the front bumper was already a bit chipped up so no point in doing that.

    Looking good, Kenny.
    Ranked No. #1 in initial quality

    Idiots, simply by being idiots, seem capable of achieving randomly bad things that are beyond the imaginings of sensible people.

    Did an oil change and switched to Motul DCTF for the transmission. Shifts way better cold (doesn't seem to lock me out of gears as often) and smooths out the hot shifting as well. Transmission even seems a little bit quieter which is interesting!

    I've been working on mapping CAN data and finding a nice access point since CAN isn't readily accessible on the OBD2 port anymore. There's an active sound (ASC) computer easily accessible in the passenger side of the dash, so that was a perfect spot to "hack into" and get CAN access.

    Parts list for the ASC connector/patch harness:

    Male connector (plugs into factory harness):
    - AMP/TE Connectivity Connector Housing P/N: 1376106-1 (Quantity 1)
    - AMP/TE Connectivity Pins P/N: 1376109-1 (Quantity 8) - I'd suggest ordering a couple of spares though in case you mess up crimping

    Female connector (same as factory harness if you're making a patch)
    - AMP/TE Connectivity Connector Housing P/N: 1318386-1 (Quantity 1)
    - AMP/TE Connectivity Pins P/N: 1123343-1 (Quantity 8) - I'd suggest ordering a couple of spares though in case you mess up crimping

    I used this wire: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...0?ie=UTF8&th=1

    I used this RJ45 breakout (for RaceCapture Track Mk2, you'll use something else for other devices): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Use something like this to crimp the connectors. It's fiddly and annoying but way cheaper than the "right" tool: https://www.amazon.com/Qibaok-Termin.../dp/B089LW7MWT

    If you're wiring to a breakout like I was, this will work to make the ferrules on the wires. Way nicer to insert than stranded wire twisted together or whatever: https://www.amazon.com/TICONN-Insula...dp/B09F94TPRV/

    My patch harness (made a second for a friend that I owe a favor to):



    My RaceCapture "install" after I routed the RJ45 cable along the passenger side rocker under the carpet, down in front of the seat, and out the flap that exposes the chassis VIN.



    Data into SoloStorm!



    Matching temps on the dash for comparison:

    Shaftworks USA Bilanx 1 coilovers installed! Rides like stock, I'm really impressed considering the spring rates and valving we went with. Gotta do a front swaybar and finally mount up my tires on my TS-Vs before I can comment much on their performance otherwise. Winter is finally over and I'm excited to go autocrossing and TT

    JDL UEL & Perrin 2.5" catback installed! Sounds like a proper Subaru again, haha





    I did the header first so I could see how it sounded with stock exhaust:



    Cold start with the header and catback and some free revs:



    Cruising around:



    Full throttle 2nd gear acceleration:

    It's as pretty underneath as it is on top, Doc.

    Thanks Kevin! I missed my first gen a lot and this is a lot of fun to relive memories and get it all together again

    Installed my final piece of the puzzle for autocross/track season last night! Karcepts makes badass parts for a limited selection of cars, but when their swaybars or other parts are available for your car you have to buy them. Over-engineered in the best ways possible! The swaybars have a nice arc built in for the adjustment holes so you can quickly and easily adjust the swaybar stiffness between runs at autocross or you could even do it in a pitstop during an enduro race or something. Easy install for a motorsports product with a great installation manual and they even included some specialty tools that are required.
