Yes. You can put a resistor into the plug where the airbag plugs in to turn the light off or take the bulb out of the dash.

$134 shipped from www.subaruparts.com - not bad.

Good find, Josh! Now I just have to see what I can sell that would total over $130...

This was the last big piece to getting my suspension/stiffness goals achieved.

Josh, How bad is it really? Something that could be masked with sound deadening material? I'd have to say no. The problem is not stuff buzzing everywhere (which can happen). But more like everything vibrating un-audibly. I can tell how high my engine is revving through the gas pedal. :lol: You will...

Check the PCV valve. Cheap and quick fix. I think this is what allowed my Sport Sedan to start getting over 300 miles per tank (when I'm nice with skinny pedal on the right).

Well, I'm going to have to assume you either didn't read the whole thread I linked to or have a slight reading comprehension problem. Your battery to frame wire is said to have the biggest impact. Linking your engine ground and engine/tranny ground is also a very good idea for all of your sensors. T...

One of the sensors got wet or something along those lines. Turn off the car and back on and it should go away.

If by aftermarket you mean stand-alone you should look for Autronic among others...

Stand-alone means you must hook up the type of sensors the new ECU requires and need tuning basically to get the car running right. But with tuning you can release all the hp potential of any bolt on mods.

If you search there was a recent thread about drilling out the knuckle to allow you to run 2 OEM camber bolts up front to effectively double the camber you can run up front. Or some crash bolts in the lower holes will allow you to get that extra camber you need. That will really help keep the car fr...

Yep.

My car is the same way. I can't check the fluid without it spilling everywhere. And once I filled it up by revving the engine and topping it off before capping it.

Are you always going the same way around the track? If so you could weld up some camber plates for the top strut mount to keep that wheel with lots of negative camber.

If that's allowed in the rules, of course.

There is another member in Michigan that does circle track with his Legacy.

You said the STi springs didn't give you much body roll, are you happy with them or have you thought about some that would give you a drop and even less roll? Dropping the car puts you in a worse part of the camber-curve, so should be done only moderately. You really want to control roll with swayb...

Mid-corner it's really easy to control with the throttle. It's neutral when I turn in, and with a little bit of lift or braking it will start to rotate. Naturally there is understeer when accelerating hard out of a corner but it isn't much and I really like how the car is balanced. I'm starting to ...

My car and Snowboarded's are funny with the heat. You would think it would be phenomenal with the turbo adding all the heat to the system.

It takes a while to get going, but once the car is warm you have to keep it on halfway heat so as not to roast.

Try driving your car longer than 4 minutes. Let it idle for a while after reaching full temp with the heat on full blast. Go inside, wait 5+ minutes or so and then go in your car and see if it feels warm. My Legacy puts out the least heat of any of my cars. It takes a while to get the car warm, but ...

Hmm, possible a plugged heater core or the flaps are not opening all the way. You definitely want to check that cable. I don't think its absolutely necessary to take off the glove box, but it wouldn't hurt.
