dreading this install on my 05 obxt but this makes me feel better about it with those tips you gave us. Thanks for the informative video my man.

Good luck, it's not too bad just do it on a day where you can take your time and be patient. Thanks for watching!

after working on cars for literally half my life at this point, i can confirm from watching first hand during brake bleeds, the firewall defiantly flexes

[@SWSpeedCo]

Yeah its very wierd to see it flex haha

[@riotstarter1992]

@@SWSpeedCo first time i seen it happen was a 90s honda, and man it flexed alot... i thought there was something wrong... lmao

Man, My LGT brakes feel squishy, too. I found an old thread about swapping in a STi master cylinder and booster. Supposedly that makes a difference.

[@SWSpeedCo]

I'll have to look into it and maybe give it a shot

hey i have an 05 xt and i used to have an 02 sti swapped wagon that had a very similar cluster on the dash for my oil temps and all that, I'm just wondering how you installed that cluster? or if you have an old video about it? did you cut out the dash for it? if you don't want to reveal your secrets that cool 🤣but i miss having that 3 gauge cluster up on my dash haha. anyways love the videos one of the only obxts i can follow the process of and i absolutely love it dude keep up the great work!

Thanks, im glad you are enjoying the videos. I didn't make a videos of the cluster install for some reason I think I put clips of it in my engine swap videos because I did it around that time. I cut a hole in the dashboard to fit the cluster which is from glowshift for a wrx. Then I used fiberglass reinforced bondo to smooth the transition into the dash and then I painted it black and flocked the dash for the suede look. It turned out really well and I would definitely do it again. Hope that helps.

Where’d you find that steering wheel? Or did you make it?

[@SWSpeedCo]

It's a steering wheel cover that I got from East Detailing they just get stitched on on top of the factory steering wheel. I really like it

[@saheedimoru9870]

What’s the part number for the brace or do you have a link to it? I’m not seeing it online

[@SWSpeedCo]

I think grimmspeed actually discontinued it. If you want one, you will have to look on another suppliers website that might still have inventory or look for another brand.
