Bumping this thread for another reminder of how amazing it is. Extremely detailed, every bit of information you could ever ask for, common problems and fixes, etc. I was pretty intimidated at first when I was thinking about doing this swap, but I just confidently purchased a BFM from Japan and it's on the way.

Just bought an 040 cluster for my '04 Outback 5MT for ~$90 shipped. Very happy I was able to find the 040 as I really didn't want to put up with having the PRNDL in the center and it means I get the higher tach and both trip lights.

@rkrenicki, have any more of those adapter boards for the D type? I want to keep my stock harness in tact so everything will be removable.

Thank you again for all of the insane amount of hours of researching, testing, and experimenting you did! It's truly amazing how much information you compiled here. This is a very welcome first start for me on this forum (and Subaruoutback .org that you pulled me from).
