I don't have time to mess with the mod it would take for the STI rack so I got a stock one.

l love the look of a clean block. I always let degreaser soak in and hit it with my pressure washer, but yours looks much better than what I can do. What's your secret?

I think mine looks different but I assume that's because it's RHD. From what I've been told basically any pedal set from another Subaru will fit as long as it's the same type (hydraulic or cable.) What car did it come out of?

I bought it as a set from a guy planning to do a swap. I think the pedal is for cable but the rest of the set up is hydraulic

Another night. Mostly research trying to find a clutch pedal assembly which could screw my deadline up. Cleaned up my tear down so I could assemble in a cleaner space. Through out a ton of random parts I dont need.

Would it really be that bad if i removed this to fit the trim with the cubby.

I like those post facelift 2nd gen foresters. One of those with a 5mt turbo would be badass!

Excited to mod it and so is she...once I finish this first though.

So I have read every electrical thread on the EJ20G ecu. What's the best place to start, should I do the converter or COP conversion? Which is the best to read to get this thing started up
