I went with the matte black ! Cheers

Another update. I bought a Perrin intake kit second-hand. It's advertised by Perrin as a "no tune required" part. I've always been super wary of which parts require tuning and err'ing on the side of caution but was impressed at what I found when I did some digging. User reviews have been...

Progress update on the reprogramming. I've found a local spot in NZ (Barttech Computers and Microsoldering) that has lifted the 93C76 Eeprom chip from the board and have sent me the .bin file from the chip. Odometer is stored in miles so initially I thought it was a bad read but have since...

Awesome, that width and offset will fit really nicely!

Small update. I have the red WRX instrument cluster in the car. No real accomplishment here yet though, I am still to re-code the odometer. Had a bit of fun looking at the various chips on the board. I had a play around with trying to bring some of the Eyesight features that are present on...

Awesome work mate and stoked to hear the screen reads the right units! :cool:

Annoying about the shipping, I have a few components for the STi build that are held up in the USA also via Ebay's global shipping program. I find that's always the case though, while it's convenient to have that available for US sellers, it usually means a 3-4 week longer than usual shipping...

My replacement MFD adapter arrived and I quickly swapped the units once more to get it working: Massive improvement over the stock MFD. Nice having the animations when scrolling between the views too. I did notice that there are a variety of new settings that are presented to the user when...

Finally got around to installing the replacement SMD LED. These things are a PITA to solder without a hotplate, especially when the contacts are below the chip and the chip measures only 2.8 x 3.5mm in size! It took some trial and error but got there...

An alternative approach for the dash is a custom gauge face from the likes of Illumaesthetics https://www.illumaesthetic.com/products/illumaesthetic-subaru-impreza-wrx-va-gauge-faces Then you could simply replace LED's on the circuit board for red ones where necessary...

Nice work grabbing the parts. I've decided to grab the harness also to save some time. I'll try swapping the cluster once it arrives with no other changes and see what error codes I get in the car. Obviously odometer will be out but I'm interested to see what happens with immobilizer as I was...

If you're interested in the MFD upgrade there is another one that popped up cheap here ($296 NZD) : Edited, since the time of posting. Lerroy has advised these MFD units via Ebay are usually USDM parts so will display imperial units. (The harnesses below are universal though - so anyone reading...

Next project is to convert the interior to the red-glow & WRX/STi theme. Some of this is a direct plug/play, some requires some wiring work. For the downlight/cubby LED , I am going from blue -> red. There is an existing article here with someone that has swapped simply the bulb itself (they...

So after blowing a rear speaker, I opted to go out and buy a set of components for the rear. Plan was to only utilize the 6.5" woofer in order to get a bit more mid-bass. My headunit allows me to select which frequencies go to the front/rear speakers and this worked perfectly with a hi freq...

I also picked up a GFB hybrid blow off valve for giggles. Wasn't sure about putting one on an auto but it sounds great with the CVT. I get noise only when stomping on it or overtaking and letting off. Edit: wasn't worth making a new post : This is somewhat bitter-sweet but I've managed to blow...

Foam arrived. Was pretty fast to install, maybe 15 min per door. Initially this was my coverage but I did end up removing some areas where the door cards were getting resistance. Eventually this is about where I left it as far as coverage goes. (Rear door card). I used 8 sheets at $5...

Boot and rear quarters deadened. Photos are a bit deceptive as the larger sheets are tucked in and hidden behind the panels (damn having large hands for this job). I used a lot of offcuts to patch any front panels that had a hollow effect to them when tapped. Another road test confirms that...

So I did the doors with deadener finally. I had some leftover butyl deadener from Jaycar but it was crazy expensive at $50 per 900 x 330 sheet. I had bought I think five sheets of the "Response" sound deadener. A front door took about three sheets so the whole car would take around 10 sheets...

I couldn't tell you sorry mate. I had a friend who had a written off Levorg come across their yard with some goodies so I had the privilege of getting first dibs on a few aero pieces.

Interesting, what were the price/s on the HKS items? And where from?
