Haha, believe it or not from Ebay. I was looking for Subaru diecast and found it somehow. Its like when someone posts up a youtube video and next thing you know an hour has past and your like how the F@#$ did I get here. I had no intention of spending money and I just happened to come across them.

Well got about 95% of the wiring done. Then put the wheels on and rolled the car out of the garage for the first time since like Sept. Got a chance to clean her a little bit and clean the damn garage. Quite the productive day.

Hopefully have her done in about a month.

Ok so just purchased hopefully all the components for the intake system along with some boost line hoses and such. All the wiring is done just need to go back and double check so the car doesnt burst into flames when I hook the battery up.

Didn't realize how different the EDM tails would be against the garnish.

I think if you black out the chrome strips and paint that top section red, it should match up pretty well.

At the very least, black out the chrome on the center panel.
Looking good, though, other than the missing spark plug wire.

Got a little more progress in, got the Perrin heat shield to fit (had to trim it a little so it would clear the O2 sensor)

Wanted to keep the ignitor in the same basic location so I cut the braket. Post pics of that later.

Well got my intake pieces in today, unfortunately they won't work. So had to order some extra stuff to make it work. Maybe one I'll get to drive her.

Ok so I got the last pieces for the intake and this is what it will probably look like for the most part.

Well, tell them to make more barbed fittings. 1/8 90* and 45* and 1/8 to 1/2 and such I dont have to spend 30 bucks for those pieces online. They thought of everything but that.

So I ordered some parts from onlinemetals that should hopefully finish my intake and put the dash in temp. so I could check my wiring. The headlight leveler works but the fogs didn't and the headlight sprayer didn't. Hoping that is because I didn't put the cluster. I'll wait to finish after I get the engine bay finished up.

So I put the cluster in today and got the fogs to work front and rear. The turn signal, reverse, fog and DRL work on the EDM tails, just not the brakes right now. City lights work, hook those up to the corner lights as I will be hooking the corner lights up for turn signal. For some reason the washer switch works as a tester for the fogs. The fog switch isnt working. The headlight sprayer pump works but not when it is hooked up to the wiring so I'll be trouble shooting that for a bit.
Slow progress but progress none the less

So got some more parts in.
RS-RA corner lights, power folding mirrors and Tsudo DP

And now I have some questions. So I have been trying to make sure all my wiring is working and I am having problems. The fogs I had wired to relays and used a switched source like it would be factory. Now the weird part, with one switch I can press it about half way and the fogs will work but if I push it all the way it shorts some how and blows the fuse. So then I hook up a straight on/off flip switch to the plug and same thing, just blew the fuse. Kind of at a loss of what might be causing it to blow the fuse. I could just run it straight power and avoid the relays but I kind of wanted it to be factory style.
The one thing I am wondering is if it has to do with Subaru using switched grounds and not power.
