Did you have to do any modifications to the DIN pocket to get it to fit? Need to get one of those..
Bet it's a bit more fun listening to music with that much bass in the boot.

Nah mate, no modification at all, 4 screws and it was fine. Came with a few different face plates to get it flush, was a pretty easy swap...besides for the fact that I downloaded a wiring diagram that was completely wrong, which shat me off after taping everything up and no should from and speakers :S haha, much better than stock, surprising what difference it makes to listening to music...are you looking at putting one in??

Good to know, might have to go in and get one. I bought one from subarugenuineparts.com and I hacked it up to get it to fit.. it was destroyed soon after that.

Yeah I was looking at them, but I picked it up for like $25 from JBHIFI, so was sweet. May be worth a try to see if they have any

So....bit of an update.

Car went in for the major 100kkm service and to get the Walbro Fuel pump, CAI, rear 24mm swaybar and a tune over the past 2 days.

I went to Evo R to collect the car this afternoon, but only managed to get it on the dyno late afternoon. The initial power run netted 150HP @ all 4.....(less than stock)

Warwick spent a few hours to get rid of the "Subaru Canyon" that was present, and he did an incredible job!

The refinement is incredible, and there is no sudden "kick",boost is smooth and the car sounds absolutely incredible. Could not wipe the smile off my face...

But.......

There was a slight coolant leak from either the bottom radiator hose, or the thermostat...we only discovered at 7:45 this evening

The car has to stay overnight, and I am picking it up tomorrow at lunch time.

Really looking forward to picking her up tomorrow

Dyno graphs:












Also, front and rear speakers done, amp arriving this week.

Very much so, the car really feels different to drive, i was very used to the boot...then all out of puff, now it just feels, as I said, refined

Next will be handling, front sway, ALK, coilovers
