Added Hella Horn (and DIY).

I'll post a better picture once I can actually drive outside.

Got a new EcuTek cable and flashed the ECU. Car started up no issue, hopefully will take it out and do some data logging at lunch.

Nice. I've always loved the look of the Hellas in Subaru grilles, but I've never actually heard them in person.

I'm interested to hear what you think of the Innovative kit at altitude here in Denver. As much as people complain about the 86's power being a kick in the nuts, the added altitude just adds a slap to the face.

In regards to your tire choice. Remember a 225/40/18 MPSS is going to fit like most other brands 235/40/18 due to nature of the MPSS tire. A 245/40/18 on a 8.5 wide wheel would almost have a roll over wheel edge appearance. Each to their own but a 225/40/18 MPSS would be likely very square in appearance and be a better ratio as well more in line with ratio of stock for speedometer. Something to consider anyhow. Nice build so far!!

Looking forward to hearing your impressions. I just installed the intercooler upgrade, I've been running the stage 1/tuner kit for about 6 months.

Here is a short clip of the horns:

Its like a different car. I wish I could drive it now, but the weather is complete crap. I will say that NA it still was fun to drive in the canyons.

Thanks for your input, I may go with 225 then-- I really don't want to go too wide. This is the first time I have done any mods to a car so I am learning as I go.

Nice, as soon as it warms up and dries out I am going to take it out again-- but it pulls much harder than stock did. I just got my radium kit, I'll probably install this weekend.

I'm also waiting for Bill to review my logs from my first drive.

Another option I should mention which I just seen myself today is the Nitto Invo tire in either a 225/40/18 or 245/40/18 max size for you wheels. Very unique tire tread for a summer tire and a few guys that auto x were at shop I was at talking about em and love em. Say they take a beating and are a great street tire.

looks good keep updating this!

olorin · 02-09-2014, 09:30 PM

Installed Radium dual catch can. The fit and finish of this kit is impressive as are the instructions-- full color. Its a pretty easy install on the Innovate SC. I'll update with pics shortly.

Nice work! Keep updating us

olorin · 02-25-2014, 05:19 PM

Got a new (70mm) pulley, going to flash later:

Came with red loctite, real pain to remove.

olorin · 03-26-2014, 10:52 AM

Installed Forester XT oil cooler. Turned into a flood on my garage floor. Works great though.

I shortened the OE 5/8 heater hose in the back of the engine by 3 inches to bring the molded bend closer to the pipe. This prevented the hose from getting kinked.

Excellent DIY:

Just ordered @Raceseng CasCam w/Spring Perch. Probably install it next week.

I'm also think of future mods, perhaps a lighter axle, flex fuel kit, and various suspension additions.
