Thanks Scotty! I picked up the new crossmember from Kevin today. I also wrapped the new harness with electrical tape to clean it up, then I started on the wiring. The wiring should be done some time tomorrow.

Pics coming soon.

The badge doesn't fit just right, but it will work. New radiator and fans too! The badge looks off center because of the camera angle, but looking at it straight on it's good.

From 9/10/12 - I guess I forgot to post this here..

I got a ton of work done in the last few days.
Sorry I haven't posted any updates; I have been too busy working on the car!

Motor is IN! I also started to mock up the intercooler, radiator, and some others..

Also, adding to my list of parts, I got a 24mm Hotchkis rear swaybar with Whiteline bushings and endlinks!

Enjoy! More to come soon!

So cool. You got a running mod list? What are you gonna do for engine management? Did you do the wiring harness splicing yourself?

Most of the splicing was done by a friend in Orange County who used to own a shop that specialized in swapping Subarus. EM will be stock ECU for now. I haven't made up my mind what I am going to go with for the future. Probably just a tatrix cable, since the Accessport is retarded unless you have Protuner.

So far, the mod list is in the first post here: http://www.seccs.org/forums/showthread.php?t=9863. I'll update it today.

I have a perrin anti lift kit that i ran for about a month. I thought the ride was too harsh in truckee, so I took it out. It's the street version, not the super stiff track version. I think it cost me around $225-$250. If you want it, it's yours for $125. Nice work on the the swap. You have a lot more ambition than I had!
