[Jeroen2.0R]

It's been quite a while since I've been here. Until now I was updating my introduction topic with new mods / upgrades, but just now I found out I should have done that here. Sorry for that.

I came here to share some of my recent upgrades which I'll leave in a separate post below this one. Looks better and it gives me the opportunity to update the mods / upgrades list now and then. :wink:

Installed a GrimmSpeed master cylinder brace. Much more brake response when braking hard. Helps a bit when braking normally. Better pedal reaction overall, so good upgrade.

I swapped all four door speakers for Alpine ones (including door isolation) and I installed a Alpine active subwoofer in the trunk. HUGE improvement over stock.
Great sound when playing audio through my Parrot MKI-6200. It has a build in 4x20W amplifier with a lot of equalizer / bass boost options. All digital, but nice quality.

The overall sound is a bit better when using the stock unit. (So I wouldn't recommend swapping speakers when you're planning on using just the stock headunit without an aftermarket amp.) In both cases clearly more base off-course.

Also made a 'background cover' for my Parrot MKI-6200 screen. Hacked up a DVD case for that.

The nicest exterior change I did was making my own custom 'L7' badge for both emblems.

(Bumper lip is hanging in my garage. I decided to not have it installed during the autumn and winter seasons. I like to go off-road sometimes with fellow Subaru drivers. I've already annihilated a lip in a muddy environment.)


Bought myself a turbo hood. (From a 2009 Outback turbo diesel, but it fits. Exact same dimensions.) Fake, maybe even rice, but looks great IMO. I'll have it painted soon.


But the main reason for me to post here is because I had my Legacy dyno tested last weekend. The result surprised everyone. I seems I managed to put together a good combination of intake and exhaust parts.
The best results where 184.1 hp / 204.6 Nm. (Stock 165 hp / 187 Nm)
Quite impressive for a N/A 2 liter engine that was never tuned if you ask me. Either way; I'm VERY pleased to know that I was not spreading nonsense by telling everyone the car feels faster than stock. :lol:

Video of full run. Please skip to 4:30 if you're in a hurry or not very interested ;) (The video starts of with a list of upgrades that contribute to the current performance.)
