Well I've changed the look a little by adding a JDM STi WRX scoop to my XT. I was worried it would be over the top but it's not all that bad IMHO

I've installed the WRX pedals and matching dead pedal, OEM MOMO shift ****, OEM Boost gauge, STi IC Spray button and the MoBoost clock replacement data center. The Mo_Boost gauge looks like the OEM clock but gives all sorts of info:

I just got a WRX Steering wheel with the airbag but I'm having some compatibility issues I have to work on.

Looks great. Still no plans to have the Mo_boost for anything else than Forester?

He has been working with a local (to him) person with a WRX. Not sure how far he's gotten though.

Those are the 4-pot calipers. I had them on my RS and moved them to my F-XT. I got them in 2000 I think. At the time they were standard issue on the WRX overseas. Same rotor size as the Forester (and USDM WRX) but fixed calipers and 4 piston. I'm using the new formulation EBC RedStuff pads now.

I managed to score a full Forester STi take off suspension. Drop in assembly top hats, springs and (inverted) struts. Can't wait to throw those on, still in transit

Went to the drag strip this week for fun (never did it before) got a 13.74 and a 13.82. OK for the first time. It was fun.
