Here is my car:



Mods Installed:
Subaextreme sump guard
Rola Roof box:P

You can see i've taken some plastic off my OEM front bar underneath, the plastic cover was alot worse for wear:P
Mods Planned:
King springs(waiting to be installed)
Subaextreme Off road bull bar( Getting installed this thursday)
1" strut top blocks( waiting for them to be made)
215/70/R16 Yokohama Geolanders

Those photo's don't do the red on gold trim justice I see one like this (No H6 though) and it looks bloody fantastic with that colour combo. Will be a capable car with a little extra lift and some under body protection.

Are you getting the subaxtreme bar colour matched to the gold?! Can't wait to see it if you are.

cheers,
Rhys

Nah i opted out of the colour matching cause it was a couple of $100 dearer:p The colour of it is pewter grey, i forgot to mention the car also has 2x12 inch subs with a 600w amp, with a dvd/gps multimedia system up front.

Roof Box:

Made up some dodgy curtains to slap on the side of the car for when im camping in the back of it, here they are:



They are held on by adhesive velcro strips along the window frame, they will be replaced with black ones so they dont stand out as much:P:


Much darker inside now:

Very nice ride there mate.

Do these H6 equipped outbacks come factory manual?

I only seen manual 2.5s

Nah they only come in auto, shame they would be alot more responsive with a manual

nice car.

lol @ the curtains hahaha

alex

Very nice car !! love the colour.. suits that model.


I hear the 6 speed go very well behind them. No d/r but plenty of power to not worry about it.

Paul, here's a question for you... any idea what the final output ratio would be for the 6 speed 1st gear compared to a 3.9 dual range 1st, in low range? I heard the 6th speed 1st gear is pretty tall!

Sorry for the hijack! You ride looks mad, it's gonna be sweet with those mods!

trannychartas it is called lists the 6 speed transmissions as having a 3.636 ratio first gear.

Aaron nice ride love the curtains, as for the manual box I've heard nothing but good reviews when people convert to either a five speed or a six speed.

I'm pretty sure gen 1 and 2 dual ranges have a first gear of 3.545. So 3.545 x 1.19 = 4.218, or if with 1.59 l series low range then effective first of 5.63... is that calculation right?

Well, we all know what can be done with the auto... boat anchor!

And we're about to hear about a dual range 5 speed

Loads of potential in those outbacks, I'm sure you'll make the most of it!

Yes it is quiet tall as I'm from the understanding that it's due to the large rim size, which is what really puts the 5 speeds under stress.

I would however not recomend the 5 speed box unless you really look after them. There are stronger gearsets available for them but for the price you might as well bought a 6 speed.
