wtf??? so many things in there
why do u need the iphone for pandora?

the power socket as in many other vehicles, is not conveniently placed. It would have been awesome if it was next to the usb/audio jack..
because of this you had route the cable above the shifter... I got a longer cable and connected some bits of the cable under where the dash and ... just look at the badly drawn picture

You do realize there is a 12v power socket in the glove compartment right? And the pandora app on the bespoke hu only works with an iPhone

Had my first AutoX yesterday. It was amazingly fun. Thanks to all the guys at the CCR SCCA chapter for putting up with my "newbness". 9th out of 20 isnt bad I guess on stock tires.

Ha, thank you. Had no idea about the power outlet in glove box. i've been moving my cupholder back a notch and its too far back already.

[XtremeMaC]

yea man, thank you as well. had not even bothered to look that deep in the glove box

Some updates! Main one being the new Mach V springs. The car now feels like it as 90% body roll eliminated. I was"nt" doing 70 around some 35 mph turns out in the country and the stuff in my passenger seat didn't even budge .

I also got a K&N drop in filter. I think I can tell a difference lol, but it has to be better than that stock filter. Man that thing is huge.

I have a SRP heel toe pedal on the way and a Perrin Pulley.

I was thinking about a cat-back delete with a pipe turndown for track days. Autox season starts back in March.

Nicely done!!

Looks good!

I added a few things yesterday.

I put on my Perrin pulley, in the parking lot at work during lunch. Thats how easy the install was. Everything seems smoother, and the needle drops faster with the clutch pushed in.

I also installed the Perrin 2inch stub antenna. I like it because I haven't seen many people go this route. Also put on a SRP gas pedal last week to help with heel toe.

Then I picked this led light up from Home Depot. If you have ever been stuck on the side of the road in the dark with out a light source you will appreciate this. I attached the base with 3m to the top of the hood, and the light strip itselft attaches with magnets, so I just throw it in the glove box when not being used....$14 awesome.

Looks great! Those LED lights are super handy.

Be careful on the Pulley. There was a post in the forums of a perrin pulley that is being investigated for a blown engine. Something to do with harmonic balancing or underdampened pulley. This has been a problem in other cars and I have seen one case that might be linked to the pulley on the FRS. Do some research. Just a heads up.

Isn't replacing the stock harmonic damper (pulley) bad? Subarus do not come with a harmonic damper or balancer like some other vehicles do. For other manufacturers' vehicles, this is a legitimate concern. Proof:

"Thank you for your patience as I checked with our Technical Services Department regarding your message below. They advised that the crank pulley is a pulley and nothing else. It is not used as a harmonic damper/balancer.

Thanks for the opportunity to be of assistance. If you need any future assistance, please feel free to contact us again."

Best wishes,

Also in thread you are referring to the dealer replaced his pulley, and honored his warranty. If they thought it was a pulley caused problem I doubt they would have done this.

I feel confident on the pulley.
