yeah, shiftable. Its an awesome automatic tranny. Gave me a whole new view on autos. They are quite expensive, though, especially with AWD. At least I have a 100,000 miles warranty. Anything goes wrong, they replace it. They dont rebuild trannies at SOA. Only replace.

thats cool.
and the reason soa doesnt rebuild trannies might be because and awd tranny is alot more complex than a 2wd tranny. (Just a guess) Its probably cheaper to replace it then to buy parts that cost more than a whole new tranny and pay much more in labor and risk human error screwing something small up.

As for the custom uppipe, have you consider Perrin or some other brand? Not too expensive and excellent quality. Perfect fitment for sure, MIGHT save you from trouble down the road. No one wants a gasket leak
Yea man, the Sportshift is not bad, and it actually shifts pretty quick both up and downshifts on the Tribeca.

What's the deal with the pink color associated with STi stuff? It's technically called Cherry Blossom Red. Cherry Blossoms are the national symbol as well as a symbol of spring. As well, in Japanese culture, pink is associated with masculine symbolism, which is in contrast to Western culture.

Rep Power: 0 Really sad story, I had been approved by Subaru to finance a silver 2.5GT from a dealership in Austin here. I had my older Accord plus a couple thousand coming from income tax.
Well, apparently, my income tax got screwed up somehow because my girlfriend filed independent and I filed her as a dependent. So I ended up getting a couple hundred back instead.
Couldn't afford the Legacy...had to settle for the Civic from the Honda dealer next door. I'm not disappointed by any means, though. My payments would've been about 50 dollars more a month for an additional year! **** that!

Yeah, 500 made. #98 is at the dealrship across the street from my house. I love having Subaru so close. When they installed my Rotora BBKm I just hopped across the street, not even 1/50th of a mile away.
I dont know who said Cherry Blossom Red. But the JDM springs ARE called "Pinks" or "Pink" and they are pink. I want the Bilstein shocks and the "Pinks" springs
Here are some new pics, BTW. I have another mod Ill post up sometime soon.
Im gonna go take a pic of my other mod. Just an AVO gauge pod. Much better than my hacked up DVD case. And I have my cubby back in. Here is the before picture of my gauge. In the middle of the dash
