Not done! Still need the hood struts and master cylinder brace. Come on, no slacking.

Installed FA20Club intake, which... boy - Taking a bumper off for an intake and then still having fitment issues isn't fun. Next up is the TopSpeed downpipe and overpipe!

Those two items have definitely crossed my mind, among other things!

License Plate Relocation Kit = I have it, but choose not to use it.
Hood Struts = I don't work on my engine enough to make use of them. I may just buy them on a whim someday. LOL
Master Cylinder Brace = I want, but Perrin looks nicer and more robust?
Lightweight Pulley = Want, but scared of possible "negatives".

I'm no fan-boy of any one particular brand, but Grimmspeed just seems to make good products at reasonable prices!

Broke out the bucket wash and cleaned her up for AutoTrader pics. Off she goes (hopefully)!

I've been impressed with their groupbuys and have bought the hood struts, strut tower bar and alt cover because of them. By no means the only good brand. Any MC brace is going to function like any other. Just pick whichever one you like the look of better. And make sure it looks easy to adjust. I got the Motive Autowerks one and it was a PITA to get the thing mounted/setup.

There are no real negatives with the light crank pulley. This has been discussed quite a bit in the Subaru community, not sure of elsewhere. Subaru engines don't use a harmonic balancer and are not affected negatively by reducing weight of the crank pulley. Now, I have heard you want to avoid using it along with a lightened flywheel, but don't recall the argument for it. Crank pulley is cheaper and much less involved to switch out.

For the love of all that is good please fix the pics!

I want to see this!

Stang70Fastback · 01-15-2015, 12:21 PM

Is it really called Alice's Restaurant, or is that just the name of the song?

Yeah I'm about to order from www.gasketninja.com. No one's complained about their taillights collecting condensation after installing the gaskets. I'm gonna do the 3M thang as well.
