The Big 2011/2012 Mod thread

[rage-wrx]

It does now for me as well... must have had an issue accessing it from Aus! Awesome thread. When you did your install, did you mount an amp and run new cable etc? As I have been search forums for a good guide to install a amp under the seat with ground etc - as I am a big newbe to installs..

Yes I did a complete install.New wiring,new speakers,amp,,sub,sound processor,the works.

I didn't find any guides to do the wiring.Its a simple job,you just have to get everything you need.I did start a thread about my install.

I'll add pics to it tomorrow.

An inexpensive way to enhance the interior of your car would be to change the interior bulbs to LEDs.You can find LEDs on websites like LED Vehicle Bulb Finder

Bulb specifications for your 2011

Back up light- 7440 (or 921 check your bulb before ordering)
Dome light - DE3175
Fog/Driving light- 9006
Front sidemarker- 1157A
Front turn signal- 1157A
License plate- 168
Map light - DE3175
Parking light- 1157A
Rear sidemarker- 168
Rear turn signal- [992(7440A)]
Trunk/Cargo area-2825

Just a heads up to anyone ordering reverse lights, I ordered LED bulbs size 7440 and they are too big. I then did a little bit more research and found a site with all the bulb sizes for the 2011 and for the backup light they say 7440 or the 921. Not sure if the 7440 fits the sti maybe? But it is way to big for the wrx backup light.

awesome thread... any input on the DIY TMIC logo?

There are some DIY threads on the topic.Haven't done it personally but the basic idea is to use a stencil to paint in the logo.

The link below is how to paint the STI logo.Same would apply for the WRX ,obviously with a WRX stencil.

Changing Oil.The manual states that oil changes are at 7500 miles & all turbo models are to use Subaru synthetic oil.

How exactly do you drain the old oil?

[rage-wrx]

As in any other oil change.

Let the car run for a few minutes.

Remove the drain plug.
