    Got my new bulbs yesterday and today I installed the headlights. They look pretty nice! I hope to not blind as many people as I did before.

    Its been awhile but I have updates:
    A few days ago my car rolled over 260,000 miles
    [​IMG]

    Car still runs pretty good but the transmission shifted hard and the suspension was horrible.
    So I bought a new tranny and rear end from "qstarin"(THANKS!). Went to install the tranny and realized that they are WAY different. So I just replaced the rear end to a LSD with less miles and also the torque converter and will do the tranmission when I get the other parts needed.
    The car actually shifts a little better then it did and the rear wheels grab alot better then they used to.

    Then I bought a set of WRX shocks and springs out of a 2002 WRX with 20,000 miles on it. The WRX springs were a direct bolt it minus the brake line brackets. Now the car actually handles and I can take corners a little faster.

    Thats all I got for now, Ill take pics once I get the tranny out of my back seat.

    Sorry that tranny was as straight forward of a swap as we hoped. Like I said, the TCU is yours for the taking whenever I get it out.

    Let me know if you need FSM's for my MY to help with wiring. IIRC, there wasn't much for signals between the TCU & ECU, so it might be pretty straight forward.

    I can definitely notice the difference without that LSD in the rear. My car used to push itself straight like magic when sliding around corners, now I have to work the steering wheel a bit more.

    lol @ the tranny still in your back seat! careful with that thing in there!!

    That tranny was in my back seat from when I picked it up till last friday and now its still in there.
    It did suck that is wasnt as striaght forward as Id hoped but it wasnt a total waste, I got to replace that rear access cover so now my car wont leak oil!

    As far as the WRX suspensions goes I actually noticed a raise in height. I went from 260000 springs and shocks to 20000 springs and shocks. The front looked higher then the back as well. But honestly I dont care, the ride quality is all I was looking for. And plus now I can get aftermarket WRX springs, shocks which are more availible and cheaper then legacy stuff.
