First off, congratulations! The Si coupe is a brilliant car, both in terms of drivability and usability. It’s good to hear that the car already has some mods installed, but here’s a small little list I’ve made of other mods you could look into.
Performance Mods
Design Mods
Sporty Red Gearbox TrimCVT OnlyThis is just a small list and I’m still building on it. Hope you can find some use for these mods!
I have a 19 sport but really wanted an ex for the extras and couldn't get it in time. Seeing it in my color makes me so jelly. That's a clean whip 🔥
As far as chrome delete goes, here are some links you can use if you want. smoked markers, chrome trim blackout, lug chrome delete, black or carbon handles, this site has stickers for the useless buttons, steering wheel, dash, shifter. I went down a rabbit hole.
It is a good and worthwhile upgrade.
There are tons of forum threads about this.
It's mainly about:
You may also need to make sure the PCM has all the correct signals before it will command converter lockup.
If you are going to play ETS2 or ATS, get an SKRS. This is the one I use, and it is amazing. Pricey, sure; But it is amazing quality, and it really adds to the experience: https://www.amazon.com/Shifter-Replacement-Logitech-Thrustmaster-EasyJakeBrake-Windows/dp/B07DVW2WYK/ref=sr_1_16?keywords=skrs&qid=1573415326&sr=8-16
I didn't have mine that long before I changed it. So I never experienced it.
If you're interested in changing out your shift knob. These are the pages I used as reference.

You'll need a new shift boot collar otherwise the boot will just sag and not made with the new knob you buy.

Also comes in black.
A 10 x 1.5 threaded knob is what you'll need. Mine does not spin (now). If it did, I could probably use some loctite on the thread to prevent it from spinning.
I wouldn't mess with it yourself without someone who has does this job before, or mess with a transmission shop (if you can avoid one; they almost always "sell" a remanufactured transmission because thats how they make more money and cover their buts if something goes wrong). Find a local VW/Audi mechanic who does this sort of thing.
You need the filter, gasket, solenoids, and (to be safe) wiring harness such as in this kit (this kit is for the "01M" transmission but yours might be different):

yeah if you have the ability to pull the trans then its not extremely difficult to rebuild it
you can get a full kit with discs and bands for $125 $150 on Amazon or from some other supplier..
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C37BZQ9
and you just need pretty much basic tools to rebuild it
although this is one of his early videos this guy makes good automatic transmission videos
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPK5eEdH4vM
hand tools, socket wrench.. torque wrench if you want to be nice but probably not 100% necessary and a couple hours
If you put in heavy duty bands and clutches its going to perform really well.
but it might just be a vacuum line or the fact its been sitting and maybe it needs its fluid changed
I would replace the torque converter if you are rebuilding the trans .. you can get one for $100 - $150 ..
but you know.. don't fix whats not broke...
I am just giving you info in case you take it some place and they tell you $1500 for a new trans...
well then you have junkyard like you said
or you can rebuild for under $400 and it will be better than new all heavy duty stuff inside
hardest part is probably the front and rear oil seals you just need to drive them in straight .. preferably with a large socket or something flat .. and they are really easy to tap in but everyone freaks about them heh.. even if it leaks its $10 or something to replace it.
Anytime you're dealing with wear components, picking them up from a scrap yard is sketchy at best. So brake pads, clutch, flywheel,that kind of stuff you want new.
Exedy usually makes good clutches at a reasonable price.
https://www.amazon.com/EXEDY-CLUTCH-08022-92-00-HONDA/dp/B078X6NWPV
When you do the clutch you either need to get the flywheel machined flat or replace it.

Something that is designed to continue functioning in the same shape rather than wearing down over time? I would be happy picking them up from a scrap yard if I was confident in identifying parts that are in good shape. Ignition cylinder and distributor I would take from a scrap yard if I found a good one.

A clutch kit (disc, pressure plate, TOB) will run about $300. IIRC Subaru says the flywheel isn't supposed to be resurfaced, so a new flywheel will run about $300. Keep in mind that dealers use OEM parts which are typically more expensive than aftermarket even though they might not necessarily be better.
I believe that OEM clutch replacement would run about $8-900 in parts. Then it's a 5-6 hour job at $100/hr. So $1400 doesn't seem all that absurd of a quote from a dealer.
Cool, soooo..this is what I should get, right? I figured it would be a lot more expensive than that! It's only $276 on Amazon. I swear I called the Subaru shop the other day and they quoted me at around $1,500. Maybe they had plans to replace other clutch assembly parts as well?
Here you go
I went cheap but it turned out decent.
Lightened flywheels are a very, very, very worthy investment. You can scoop up an ACT or Comp for less than $300 all day, I've seen them on Amazon for a hair under $200.
This is actually a pretty sweet deal: http://www.amazon.com/EXEDY-FF01T-Chromoly-Racing-Flywheel/dp/B0019D4AD0/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1418755780&vehicle=2002-13-62-150---6-6-3134-118-1-1---18-0&sr=1-1&ymm=2002%3Asubaru%3Aimpreza
Last time I got a new clutch was 2013, I replaced the flywheel with this EXEDY FF01T Chromoly Racing Flywheel, and the clutch with EXEDY KSB03 OEM Replacement Clutch Kit. Best clutch/flywheel combo I've had, including the original. I'm not really into high performance though, so I'm not sure why I got a "racing" flywheel. I think at the time it wasn't that expensive compared to whatever else was out there. Now it's $309, I think I paid more like $290.
It's buttery smooth though. My original clutch had a terrible grab and judder in low gears, and my second clutch was grabby and juddery in a different way, maybe even more annoying. This one has been a gem since day one.
Shit, if you're an Amazon Prime member you can get the OEM type Exedy clutch kit shipped to you for $112!
You need a new shifter linkage. Hope you got it fixed without spending too much. I had the same problem on my 05 Outback. It’s a cheap part and only an hour of labor if you do t at a shop. Should be this part, but double check fitment.

Alright thank you. this one seems to have good reviews on it. I do plan on buying a new flywheel in a couple paydays just to change it while I can
The first upgrade on any Nissan with a CVT should be the transmission cooler. CVT overheating is very common.
The TSB linked below is for the Rogue, but it's very similar.

In general I would suggest changing the CVT fluid every 30K miles and use only Nissan CVT fluid.
This is the most likely answer.
Here's a similar one on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/APDTY-Differential-2007-2014-2008-2013-2008-2009/dp/B075ZFC8VK

I couldn't say, but some do. The tone rings for some Chryslers (300, Magnum) are entirely made of rubber with no metal at all (there is some kind of powder or something embedded, turning it into something like a credit card mag stripe), while some Toyotas (Tundra, Tacoma, 4Runner..) have a normal looking metal one with some sort of rubber insert; example part: https://www.amazon.com/Magnetic-Encoding-213132ABS-Chrylser-Challenger/dp/B078X1SLFF
I replaced the gear. They make retrofit kits that work fairly well for ~$20

5gal of water isn't going to be nearly enough. Go buy a used or cheap cooler, biggest you can find, and use that. That's what I did. I bought one used, I think it's around 75L, which is around 20gal.
I also use 2 radiators with AC fans on them.
I just fill the cooler with cold water. So it goes cooler > pump > condenser > radiators > cooler
Haven't had any issues yet.
Here is something you could try.
