Do you need any additional parts to fit there or are they just a direct swap out, setup, alignment and off you go?

Footwell LED strips on 55 blob wrx
Hudson replied to Hudson's topic in Subaru Audio / Electronics / Security
Figured it out of what to wire up to the dome wiring but now just need to find an improvised tool that is long enough and thin enough to push the wire in between the roof lining! -
So I'm looking to wire up a pair of foot well LED strips in the driver and passenger foot well to the dome light wiring so they fade in and out when the doors are opened but not too sure where to feed the wires from as teh getting into the roof lining is fiddley! If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great!

Decided to go blue today da ba dee da ba die, next up is to replace the clock with a nice triple set of blue gauges in a pod but not very confident with doing that by myself

Given her a new lip today she's been screaming at me for the sti front splitter for a while now and I just caved in :D Fitment was easy and straight forward with a jack and axle stands on my drive :) Painting a set of sti fog lights covers for it too as we speak!

I am considering doing a similar setup in my blob after reading through this thread but it would be my first time also playing with gauges so not very confident or knowledgeable about fitting them myself. Aside from buying the 3 same gauges, a pod to fit them in and one of the subaru fitting kits for the oil gauges would I need anything else? If I buy these is anyone near York able to lend me a bit of guidance on what to do as it's difficult see where everything goes in the engine bay without knowing someone who has good understanding of it all so I do mess it up in anyway or chop the wrong hose or cable

Brand : Michelin Pilot Sport 3 Size : 225/45YR18 xl £348 for the set as I fit and balanced them myself in the garage I used to work at Michelin were giving out £75 fuel cards at the time too for when you bought 4 tyres from so it was very much worth it! All year round use been excellent grip and very predictable handling in all weather. All wearing evenly and lasting a long time Will most likely be buying these again from gaining a lot more confidence at higher speed in my blob with them!

Finally got hooked in to investing some more in to the car after not buying anything for 9 months for it! Watch this space for a few updates very soon!

Gambit that picture is 100% true haha I might be sacrificing a holiday abroad for my car at this rate! Haha a new lady friend distracted and slowed down my lust for new parts, rest assured I'm back and got lots of plans! After I'm satisfied with the visual look inside and out planning on a new turbo (vf34/35) custom made turbo back exhaust with a high flow sports cat, pink sti injectors, walbro fuel pump, short air k&n or cosworth style ram intake or cold intake system, uprated turbo to intercooler 'Y' pipe and maybe sti larger intercooler, NGK PFR 7B uprated spark plugs and a remap by andy forest to finish it off fingers crossed none of it goes wrong then it's on to getting a nice set of brembo stoppers, coilovers and uprated anti-rollbars and few other small handling perks! Had some lovely drives so far and loving the car as it is but lusting for more adrenaline speed and noise!

too easily done I know haha I lasted about 9 months without getting any new parts minus the general servicing! I blame the credit card it's too easy to spend money that 'I can pay back later'
-
Been a while since I posted as I tried to resist upgrading anything for a year but gotten myself hooked again after I had to do a bit of general servicing replacing the wheel bearing on nsf of my blob wrx and done the alternator/power steering belt and aircon belt which was a doddle then got thinking about smartening her up for the summer and ended up ordering fog light covers, sti front splitter, new vinyl's and paints to smarten up the calipers, engine bay, change hella horns colour and taking a few parts for dipping too then a few performance mods will be done over the spring/summer!

I made a nice little collection of good condition used tyres that I stored away to save myself having to buy any tyres for some time but then impulse bought a set of new 18" rota alloys so these 17" tyres are now not of use to me. I have listed all the tyres, tread depth left and the sizes below with pictures of some of them - I can take more upon request. Please pm me on which tyres you are interested in and I will give prices there. 2x 225/45/17 Michelin Primacy HP 5-6mm tread 2x 225/45/17 Pirelli Cinturato P7's 6-7mm tread 3x 225/45/17 Pirelli P6000's 5-6mm tread have 2 more of these to make 5 in total but 2 only have about 2.5-3mm of tread left 2x 225/45/17 Budget tyres one Event & one BCT rotational tyre these are only about 50miles old with 8mm of tread left like new 1x 225/45/17 Bridgestone Potenza 6-7mm tread 2x 215/45/17 Michelin Primacy HP 4-5mm tread 1x 215/45/17 Michelin Winter 4-5mm tread http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg114/RaceAceMike/11406805_10153270527162631_7320401707263937358_n_zpsteuhduo7.jpg http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg114/RaceAceMike/11188445_10153270526647631_7676866152053768586_n_zpskrmetrfn.jpg http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg114/RaceAceMike/11224776_10153270527082631_5009532103925686214_n_zpstpknmexc.jpg http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg114/RaceAceMike/11401108_10153270526187631_4917605231240371473_n_zpsbjvvkcnc.jpg http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg114/RaceAceMike/11401108_10153270526187631_4917605231240371473_n_zpsbjvvkcnc.jpg http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg114/RaceAceMike/11535794_10153270526932631_5972844907774366811_n_zpsmsykcflf.jpg http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg114/RaceAceMike/11053481_10153270526847631_2963842170724881402_n_zpsgcaocu9f.jpg http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg114/RaceAceMike/11427775_10153270525922631_8933552827085690539_n_zpsyefgkiaq.jpg

I'm playing with the idea of selling my wrx 5x100 17's running on 225/45/17 tyres. I have 5 of them in subaru gold, I have just had 4 of them professionally refurbed fully with an anti corrosion coat to finish them, look brand new again (2 are still at the refurbers) the 5th wheel which the paint isn't great on has been kept just as a full size spare wheel just in case as I hate the little space saver spares! Not sure what I'd take for them as I have invested a fair bit of money in them but then bought 4 new rota drift alloys as an impulse buy!

Got mine on 18's just the other month in hyper black and really like them, I went with the wide 9.5's and put a bit of tyre stretch on as I couldn't resist the wide concave spoke look although they do stick out the arches ever so slightly but still need to adjust the camber to neg 1 or 2 deg as it's 0 now and going to tinker with the ride height a bit as it's too high as it stands now, needs to drop a good 20mm without getting too low... I had the rear arches rolled for £80 to compensate too. The car still handles great on the road :)
