    Upgraded turbo doesn't help me see around corners. When I got to a spot where I could see around the corner, the current turbo worked just fine :rockwoot:

    fixed the ABS. I should probably fix or replace the charcoal canister to stop the check engine light from tripping every couple hundred miles.

    patched evap canister tonight, (pencil sized puncture hole) hoping this fixes the p0457 cel that has been periodically coming on ~ every 150-200miles.

    Changed the oil, 2qt royal purple, 3qt mobil 1 clean. finally installed a new denso front 02 sensor, cel went off right away, engine sounds smoother. check the turbo oil line and saw that there's no filter in there, since i couldn't find anything on if an 02 wrx had one or not. Oh yeah, and took off my WR foam intake, and wash it throughly, low dry it.

    Sorry to hear, Dan. Similar thing happened with my car a year ago. Avoiding a deer, and broadsided a curb with the rim. Hamline Autobody fixed it up great, though!

    Put an SPT license trim on the back, and MNSubaru trim on the front, put front plate just below original mount to the right, and patched up and repainted old holes, looks baddass. overall inspection, feeling very good about making the trip down to wabasha for a weekend of trout fising and duck hunting. hopefully i'll see some Subies down there along 61!!!

    Once I get my lazy a$$ off the couch, the wife's Outback gets its fall exterior detail and waxing today. I missed the spring one this year, so I am feeling a little guilty about that. Just a little though as it has 135,000 miles on it.

    I installed a RalliTEK 19mm rear anti-sway bar and RalliTEK HD Rear Endlinks on my '10 OBS. WOW! What a difference.
    I can't believe Subaru sells any of their models without one. I also can't believe it took me 8 months to get around to doing this.

    Tomorrow I'll work on replacing the stock front bar with a 22mm.

    A noise developed today from my driver's side rear wheel during turns. I got the car up in the air and the wheels has an inch or more of play in all directions. Apparently it's time to do the rear bearings only a month and a half after doing the front. Grrrr. There was no steady decline. The thing must have just exploded inside.

    kept pushing it pass 100 on 61 from wabasha to hastings, had 2 other buddies tailing me in a 09 blazer and 09 tundra, left them in the dust on every 45mph curves then slow down to 70 on straight aways, it was hella fun, plus they wanted to see the suby performance.

    Awesome, you need ign, fuel, and a start button on there and all the fuses converted to resettable circuit breakers inside the cabin.

    How does the launch control switch work, it's just a digital input into the ecu right? Why can't you just have it active when your going below a settable speed?

    I did nothing to my subaru today other than get the impact out of the trunk.

    analog input, the ecu uses all existing switches (so you can use the a/c or cruise control for example as an input to select maps or turn on als). you can have it activate or turn off based on a multitude of parameters (egt and tps for example) but the switch is the primary if I want it 100% off.

    Disconnected daytime drivings lights on my 02 wrx, behind glove box, very easy to do, 2min. gonna switch out my curved wipers from bosch, it sucks, leaves streaks through the middle, gonna buy reg rainx wipers, none of that sucky a** curve wipers, even switched out front windshelds and it still leaves streaks, so it's the wipers, it was doing that when i 1st bought it.
