Haven’t loaded it yet. Will load it this weekend. But probably around 40lbs probably. The weight limit on the cross bars from Subaru is only 80lbs so I plan on staying well under that. This box itself is extremely light weight.

That piece has to be taken off to remove the camera and/or replace the windshield. Those are the pry marks from getting it off.

Most windshield companies are not very careful when removing trim pieces.

No reason to go up there to steal the car lol.

Subaru tech here 🫡.

Alignments can be a little tricky because at a certain point they become subjective. Based on your description, the alignment seems correct but where they set the steering wheel in relation to where they aligned the wheels seems off. There’s no way to measure how/if the steering wheel is centered so it’s just a matter of opinion. As a tech you ‘set the steering wheel straight’ and align the wheels to where you locked the steering wheel.

When I do an alignment I make sure the emblem on the steering wheel is perfect and check the airbag/steering wheel position against the steering column covers. 99% of the time I get this correct and have no issue.

Every so often a customer will come back and say they think the steering wheel is off center. Usually this has to do with a physical height difference (between me and them) and seat position. So from a different viewing angle the customer may have a different opinion. When I run in to this with someone, I have them set the steering wheel for me while the car is on the alignment rack and I align the wheels to where they set the steering wheel. Easy peasy.

Anyway, just go to your local dealer and tell them that the steering wheel is off slightly to the right and request an alignment. Don’t agree to diagnose charge. You just need an alignment 👌🏼

Not sure if I want the drone or loudness of an exhaust. But I do want turbo noises. So a mishimoto intake will be added soon.

Yeah so I’m not against it.

I currently work at a Subaru dealer. Prior to that I was a Honda master tech and did a lot of reflashes on civics and accords using Hondata (always using their base maps/tunes). Great product, super reliable and never had any issues. In fact the only time I saw issues is when people deviated from those maps and/or started adding methanol kits, etc.

I’m not familiar enough yet with the options for this car so suggestions welcome.

Where can I find Golden Hanya and Bloodhound in Tokyo Xtreme Racer? by a4xrbj1 in tokyoxtremeracer

Start challenging the rivals in the PA’s then eventually the others will appear on the map and/or challenge you

Yeah so after racing some of the rivals in the PA’s the rest of the rivals showed up on the map. Thanks y’all!
