Well, I got my Legacy key and put it all together, only to find that I got the wrong Legacy key  The key works to start the car, but the remote doesn't work. Right now I have a very fancy valet key, lol.

I uploaded the photos, but I won't be able to finish the write up until I can find a new key. If anyone sees one, I would be grateful for a heads up!

I found an old video today, so I decided to do a comparison. I added a little back story too 

Here's the story of my cars: I borrowed various cars from my parents throughout high school (all had less than 150HP), but didn't buy my first car on my own until spring of 2006. It was a 1999 Honda Accord LX. It had a 2.3L, 4 cylinder engine, and a 5 speed. It was rated at 150HP and 152TQ. I kept it stock except for some wheels and an eBay intake.

The Honda was a great car and I kept it until fall of 2010 when I got my 2011 WRX. I sold the Honda and then quickly got caught up in modding my WRX. I had never done anything with cars other than changing oil and wheels, but a year and a half later I now have a 462WHP/492WTQ car that was all wrenched in my garage!

Here is the older video of the Honda compared to a more recent video of the WRX. There is quite a difference!
