    my car's an L so i have no power door locks or windows, all that's power in my car is the mirrors. weight savings ftw :biggrin:



    and chux you know that zip ties are man's best friend :biggrin: , they were there to hold the hose away from the fan, i have to shorten the hose a bit today to fix that problem.

    and once i get everything buttoned up and the ap installed and running good i will be coming down to firestone again

    unfortunately the six disc changer doesn't work:mad: radio works though. so i haven't decided if i will get another unit or just but another car kit and run my sirius in there. :biggrin:

    barring any major problems i will be driving it later today :biggrin:

    well it's done!! i took it out for a drive and it runs pretty good except for i am getting misfires, mostly when cruising at a steady speed the car stutters a bit, if you give it some gas it smooths out and it pulls fine under boost without any hesitation. i am getting a cel for cylinder 1,2,4 misfires.

    any ideas let me know, i have to look at it again tomm.

    I've been getting them for 4 years.:mad: In fact, the same three went off on me a few days ago at t3h Mix's house. I think that mnstylinwrx said that he found the problem in the exhaust ports? Some burnage I believe. Haven't been able to figure it out and either have any subaru techs that have looked at it for me.

    Glad to see you knocked out your swap so quick! Looks good. :cool:

    And btw, there is a 6 disc for $50 here>>>http://www.mnsubaru.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18252

    thanks, i'm going to throw the plugs back in that were in the car when i got it and try that, i know that the gaps on the new ones i put in were a bit larger than they were supposed to be so i will try that.

    and i might be interested in the six disc, not sure yet.

    i will have some pics of the whole car up later today:biggrin:

    right now it's kinda between low boost and high boost on my old setup. i'm happy considering that everything works in my car now:biggrin: i just need to get a little bit of a tune to make everything a little better
