I swapped the stock fuel pump out for this Deatschwerks pump a few weeks ago. Will keep stock one as a spare. Z wired some plugs on my light bars that plug into the stock fog light plugs. Engine compartment is getting close. Have to mount the PS reservoir and clean up wiring. Got the cam sensors to show up on the Haltech but the engine won't run with any of them connected to the main cam signal, waiting to hear back from them on ideas there. Also have to have super low values in the VE table to run close to 15:1 at idle but we have gotten it to do that now and it runs pretty smooth and smoke free. Got the parts back from paint. B installed bushings in the various rear suspension components. Used Whiteline mainly for ease of assembly. Ordered some R180 inner CV dust shields and another wheel bearing, then should be able to assemble all that. Fuel tank guards installed. Transmission crossmember/skid went in much more easily than we expected. Usually after removing these things and welding them off the car there is some amount of bending and hole slotting required. Middle portion of exhaust not fully installed, might have to come back out to install stock shifter. Waiting on bushings and roll pin for that. Front skid installed. A little bending and slotting was required to get that to bolt up to the bumper but not too much. Front bumper and lights installed. Car is getting really close to driving but there will still be a lot of things to do.

Nice work Brucey. That's cool trying things. Keep it up. The guys at Hartsells on University got a kick out of inspecting the legacy I converted to FWD automatic just to do it. You did the hard work but hindsight being 20/20 It seems risky to have an unforgiving data point downstream of the final drive output. I've got a 14 Forester parts car I was wondering if I could swap the trans into an outback....looks like it would work on what you're doing. I ran into a police officer at the local highschool a week or two ago and he said "Dude I saw an XT6 just like yours, look at this picture".....it was mine. Lol.
