What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Yeah, I did the same. Quite pleased with the results.

 

For sure. I wish folks were more helpful to me as I'm learning, so I'm always happy to share any info that I figure out on my own.

That's the idea for me too. Breast them out and make poppers for the first go.

 

Morimoto 3rd brake light, original was cracked and leaking. Install was a pain in the ass!

 

Reinstalled exchanged Winjet taillights because the last ones leaked.
Popped in some Sumo Springs.
Things are starting to come together.

 

Nice install tip. I have the JBL system, so I don't believe I can use them, though.
On a side note, I have the same wireless carplay as you. I swear this thing sounds better than connecting via bluetooth without the adapter. The instructions, IIRC, state that after it's connected the first time it connects via WiFi. That would have more bandwidth. I'm talking Hi-Res files, usually 96kHz · 24bit. Have you noticed this, or it this just a placebo effect on my end?

 

I can't find the post, but I think someone with a JBL system installed the DS18 tweeters.

The Car Play adapter connects right away and the sound is pretty good for a stock stereo. I can't attest to it being better than before though as I replaced the tweeters and front door speakers at the same time that I installed the Car Play adapter. I was just happy with the overall improvement.

I mostly listen to Pandora or our iTunes library. We're Pandora One subscribers and I believe the mobile streaming is a measly 64Kbps, although I have to admit that it still sounds pretty good. At home it's 192Kbps. I've uploaded our CDs to iTunes at 356Kbps so it does sound better if we play it off of our iPhones.

 

That’s not too bad. It’s def not easy. I was able to do it without cutting though. I really didn’t want to. I think it eased up a bit. It’s only been a month or so.

no there isn’t anything adjustable on it.

 

Here’s a Thread with a JBL Tweeter swap.

@Coupe might have some good information on the Hard Shifting going into Reverse.

 

I drove mine today, approaching 4,600 mi... (no typo)

I may drive it again tomorrow if I wake up...

 

Put the Taco to work today.

 

Fixed up the inside of my topper..Everything can be removed in a couple of minutes..ATTACH=full]5503922[/ATTACH]

 

Usually there's an adjustment that can be made on the shifter linkage or the hydraulic fluid in the system (brake fluid) needs to be changed or bleed. Most likely an adjustment with the linkage in this instance.

 

And I thought my 8500 mile '20 was low miles. Maybe it has something to do with steel wheels and manual transmission?

 

That's it!

Since the CDT tweeters are standard 4 ohm, I'd think the

$96 DS18 PRO-ST OEM Subaru/Toyota Upgrade Bullet Compression Tweeters with Crossovers 1.9" - Car OEM Tweeter Upgrade Kit for Many Subaru/Toyota Models - Replacement for H631SFJ101 and H631SFJ100 (Pair)

DS18s (also 4 ohm) should work fine with a JBL system. Couldn't hurt to try and they could always be returned I guess.

 

Like the side shelf on the right, smart use of space.

 

When you add the short shifter your loosing leverage to get the shorter throws, so it takes more manly biceps. Reverse is particular difficult.

This is my fix. It sounds silly, but once you get down the rhythm it goes pretty smoothly.

You slap that bitch into reverse.

Currently you are just grabbing the shift ball and trying to muscle it into place. Next time, slap it into reverse. This way you get the momentum of the slap. It will just drop into reverse. It takes a few days for it be natural motion.

My wife had no problem learning the procedure.

 

No, I have a 2020 with almost 4200 miles with an auto and TE37’s.

 

i appreciate the help! I just came back from resolving the issue. I had accidentally left out a black ring (rubber and gasket-like) that layers underneath the blue ring near the middle section of the shaft. Now it’s not nearly impossible to put into reverse.

 

That would make it more difficult.
