But unfortunately new brakes aren't part of that equation.
Your new hood, grille, and paint is going to be upset when the guy in front of you stops and you don't stop in time :wink:

I've got a spare gauge cluster in good shape from a 5spd legacy. Bought it at a junkyard to see if my gauges were bad but it turned out to be the illumination module. It's got like 185K miles on it and my original cluster had 172K so I put that back in.

You can have it for $25. I don't think it has the bulbs in it though.

Is the installed bottle the JDM one? Because that one looks like the stock US one, too.

The walbro pumps are universal, they make install kits that will work on a specific cars. 190-255 will work. I made my own harness on mine.

Get the GSS341 pump with the WRX fuel pump kit 400-791.

It's a direct swap then.
