For everyone who didnt know, I got my wagon back a couple weeks ago after 3rd gear went in December. I really missed her! Here are some pics I snapped today.

I went with a stock gearset after an ordeal with a vendor (I am not going to say who), who in fact didnt get me the RA's that I spent 3 months waiting for from Japan. After I found out that he didnt get the gears, all the RA sets in the country were sold out. I am still having trouble getting my money back. My only option was a stock set. I am not complaining though. I broke my 3rd gear because of the way I was driving my car, and I have changed my driving habits for the better. The car feels like.... well.... like a stock gearset. No problems. Metric Subaru did the work and they are fantastic. It took a week from me dropping off the car to picking it up.

You will love the S16g. I am really happy with it. Dont slam your gearbox into 3rd with 800lbs extra wieght in the car and your gearbox will be fine.

Yay, the black 04 version of my car with more work done to it and better parts.

Glad to hear it's back up and moving Chris.
