Wotcha and welcome - plenty of Fozzy owners on here so someone should be along in a bit to help

decisions decisions.... One of the pieces I found yesterday referred to the pin connections being different across the stereo units so whilst it would plug in correctly the pins may need to be put in different position.

Do you have a blockage in one of the other breathers that has been disconnected when removing the RCM item? Are all the tubes arranged so oil will flow back down them - ie none drop below the point at which they connect to the engine allowing oil to build up then be blown into the catch tank instead of going back into the engine?

wotcha and welcome - that motor looks cleeeeeen feel free to get stuck in - all friendly on here also I cannot see the additional three images you posted??

does look positive and RCA to Jack converters are very cheap

Wow that is steep - pity you didn't get the number as you might have been able to source it cheaper elsewhere?

That AUX panel should replace the blanking plate with no cutting or modifications of any kind

It is a US listing so the audio spec is possibly different. The UK subaru dealer should know though.

Nice one - I was just about to pull my dash apart and get some photos. The plate goes into your centre console storage box, do you have a photo?

I have an Aux input in my RX impreza - I believe it was installed as part of an overall stereo upgrade package as there is also a 10 disc player in the car. What head unit do you have in your legacy as this site lists an Aux lead for the head unit I have http://estore.subarupartswarehouse.com/p/Subaru_2010_Impreza/Aux-Jack-Kit/49926029/H6210FG000.html

Wotcha and welcome - feel free to post up some photos of your new motors and get stuck in, all friendly on here

Soon to include the Vauxhall Vivaro

yup my 08 RX has issues holding the position I place it in - £60 seems excessive for a piece of plastic - I was debating wrapping some tape around the bar to increase friction. Do you have to buy the whole sun visor flap just to get the retainer cam?

That's a case for the stick on number plate right there

Also the job took from 9am untill 5.30pm if anybody has any questions just let me no il help as much as i can also few pics i missed off Standard top mount cowling removed new coolant bottle how pipe runs under induction kit Removed parts pile Also this job looks daunting but really is pretty easy if you have the tools and half a brain lol also a tea maker as its thirsty work 😉

Right today i fitted my front mount I took some pics as i went on as nobody had any pics for refrence to show me so i thought if i can help somebody out it only takes afew seconds step by step so here they are Start Bumper and grill removed Crash bar thing removed New intercooler mount in its place This is smaller than the old bar so i filled the large holes with polostyrine removed off the bumper These 3 tabs need to be cut off (paint all exposed metal after even though itll be rusty already Mount intercooler Remove radiator overflow bottle Remove standard intercooler and save the bolts to mount new intercooler bottom brackets with also strut brace needs removing to get tmic off Replace with new slimline one also bottom mounting point for old bottle needs cutting off to fit intercooler piping i had to cut the mounting tab and re drill hole Fit pipes il add afew pics for refrence The standard flanged dump valve wont fit onto this kit so il be fetching a normal dump valve tomorrow and il add pics as this really stumped me for a while Next was trimming the bumper this takes 2 hours easily to do correctly once again il add pics for reference Put fog covers back on and grill I raised my reg plate 2" purely for looks lol Job done apart for dump valve tomorrow so il post when done. Im in no way a mechanic nor am i saying this is how it should be done im just sharing how i found the install

You can but ask...

looks good but as with the WRX / Impreza concept they build them oversized so mirrors aside we will probably end up with a diluted version that wont have the same presence, wheels and tyres being one of the things that seem to suffer first, will be interested to see what does actually end up with the dealers

That is a great motor and very reasonably priced in today's market - just hope it doesn't get snapped up by a breaker

If you are just doing it up by replacing bits one for one it is quite straight forward, hoses, engine dress up kits even replacing rusty bolts for shiny ones is fine just take your time and it will be no issue

Just found this whilst looking at this for later models http://blog.caranddriver.com/subaru-recalls-100000-cars-for-smog-pumps-that-could-melt-and-catch-fire/

Useful to know - any photos?

Wotcha and welcome - awesome looking motor that just the right amount of subtle and I mean business.
