this journal starts with post #20!






what the heck, no ...but I realize there are a few differences, and for your information, I will post a photo or two, EDM = european domestic market (information for the "new guys")


here you can see on the left the EDM fog light, it´s a "must have" in germany, and most of the other european countries




the button on the left is for the EDM rear foglight




our EDM mesh grille (no, I don´t want to trade with an USDM grille)



Did you notice the little "bump" in front of the headlights on the front bumper? It´s because all hawkeye STI´s uses Xenon lights, no halogen headlights. Again a "must have" for cars in germany: if you are using Xenon, you must have an automatic headlight washing system and an automatic light-heigth-correction that the upcoming other car drivers don´t get dazzled /glared ($hit, don´t know the correct description for this, sorry).

If you are using the windshield washer longer than four seconds, the little bumps are coming up, and the integrated nozzles are spraying water on the headlights.



ah, the hole on the left side is my EDM ghetto intake mod


what else...I dunno, only this
it´s all metric
speedometer kilometer per hour, not miles per hour
temperature in Celsius, not Fahrenheit
pressure in bar, not psi




oh yes, the forester DIN-pocket is different (and the crappy radio unit, and the aftermarket head units)




Now I´m tired, it´s 1.35 AM, and the other goodies will be posted....I dunno

Wonder if there's any way for us to hook up a fog light deal like yours...
MORE PICTURES!!!

Nice car. Also looking for more info on the left foglight. What is the deal with that?!

[torquemada]

The deal?
German government says: if it´s foggy and the sight is only 50 m or less (50 m is around 164 feet), the speed limit on highway or autobahn has to be 50 kilometer per hour (around 31 mph) and the rear fog light has to be switched on, to avoid car crashes.

Those damn fog lights are brighter than the stop/brake lights, if a stupid driver forgot to turn them off, it will burn your retina in the dark

Nice fog light! I rigged one up on my car by wiring an unused filament in one of the bulbs to my fog light switch. Works fine, not as bright as that puppy though.

My USDM boost gauge is in BAR, OEM....and i have both miles per hour and km/h.

+ EDM gets enkei but USDM gets BBS, wich are alot nicer imo.

turboXS knocklite
kakumei triple hood white carbon
lotek dual gauge pod
AEM UEGO AFR
defi bf amber red metric EGT, boost, oil pressure, oil temperature
a very cheap navigation system
alpine head unit

[torquemada]

hmmm, maybe a journal needs more "journalism"...

first mod, the replica lip




followed by the first defis






time for mo´ powa





full 3" with hi-flow cat, only available in germany, only 60 were made, all sold



mine is number 26





and I believe this little cuty would match perfectly GT-specII unequal length





first time it hurts ...have to cut a little




and yes, we have to cut a little more (my car may feel like an emo )






because I feel sorry for this harsh treatment, a little gift, the spt heat shield



that´s enough for today
