^LMAO, yeah I got into it with one of them and it all went downhill from there. Not a fan of some honda-tech kids, but most of them are alright.

Agreed on the motor mount! It's the same setup like hondas, where both are on the shock tower areas. Subaru's are nice for the very reason that the motor mounts are hidden underneath of the motor on the subframe.

At any rate, this guy did a good job. I would just move the fuse box into the driver front fender area.

Yup, that's my car. The fuse block and battery are now under the dash:

Nice! Can you please send me some info on that? Did you need to extend the power wires? Anything would help.

Just by taking a glance at this car, I was thinking of putting the fuse box under the front frame rail in front of the wheel. At the same time, we could weld a box around that hole and make it a trap door for the fuse box in case one ever blows.

Yes sir. That was basically the first time I ever brought it out, so it had to go on a trailer since it wasn't finished.
