Well, it's been fun everyone but after a couple of years of ownership, I decided I wanted to go into something a bit more refined. After a few months of waiting for a buyer, I decided to strip it almost completely back to stock form. All aftermarket parts were sold privately. A shame that the...

Finally got around to installing RSR springs today in the front (kept the two rears with OEM STi springs) of the Levorg on existing 2016 STi shocks. RSR springs lowered the car by about 12mm in front, there may be some settling left to come but currently it sits perfectly front and rear at 100mm...

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...
