  1. Don't think I've ever showed this here. Square 18x10 + 44 (with 5mm spacer all around). +44 is very tight, so adding 5mm made it safer. Fenders slightly rolled (not flat) and on Coils. Michelin PS4S 265/35/18
  2. Nothing major changed.. just added some new wheels. Te37RT in Mag Blue 18x10 + ET39 (+44 with 5mm spacers) on 265/35/18 Michelin PS4S Project Kics R40 Black Chrome Lugs
  3. Good catch! Its actually a custom CF diffuser that was originally for an Evo X that I got from my old company and extended it to fit the legacy rear.
  4. The itch to install these got too great.... Looking into the JDM aluminum front arms and to upgrade the bushings.
  5. I'll definitely put that on hold then, and start looking at the bushing/mounts. Thanks!
  6. Grabbed some goodies to get some better handling characteristics. Though... having 160k, I should start to look at the bushing :/ Here's the car with the TS side skirts that I picked up. Had to fill some scratches and recoat them black.
  7. Thanks man! It's an in-house special. https://imgur.com/gallery/GMxewPA Here's an album to my build process.
  8. I'm running 18x9.5+38 on Michelin PS AS3+ 265/35/18. Lowered on RSR coilovers (near lower settings), requires some rolling (I didn't roll flat, but will probably do that later). You can get by rolling the front and trimming the rears.
  9. It's been a minute, but picked up factory Ts side skirt extension for the Legacy as well as an HKS Legamax (however, it's for the FB).. might install to see how it sounds but not sure I'm willing to go down to 2.5" exhaust compared to the Invidia 3"
  10. Got the Power Folding Modules installed! I kept the original Fog Light Accessory Button. IMPORTANT!: Make sure the fog lights are off (open position) if you want to relocate the fog light switch to the turn signal stalk. Also, this is by no means a walk through and more of my process and journal. I am not responsible if something happens to your car. Make sure you measure with a multi-meter before connecting anything. The factory Harness that plugs into the Mirror adjustment and Fog Accessory plug. Depin the Fog Light wire (Green + Red) [Follow the important note at the beginning. Make sure the Fog is turned off if you want to relocate the fog light switch!] As you can see, I am testing the switch. It is identical to the JDM plugs in terms of operation. The polarity switches upon on/off positions of the switch. This is what the completed Harness looks like. My Positive Lines are soldered to the Blue and Blue/White wires. The Negative lines are soldered to the Solid White and Black/White wires per the previous post. I ended up taking the lower driver dash off so that I could route the wires along the following red lines. Take the center console bezel out also makes it easy to bridge the wires across. Tested everything out and it all works!
  11. Testing the JDM switch function for the power folding unit. It indeed switches polarity upon pressing the button in/out. Depending if the module is similar to the fog switch, we can verify the use of the fog switch. From this configuration, the connectors are as follows: Solid Yellow: 12V positive (from the car) Solid Black: ground (from the car) Solid Blue(+) / Solid White(-): paired together with the button (out position) would mean the mirrors have a constant power for open. Blue with Red Line (+) / Black with White line (-): paired together with the button (out position) would mean the mirrors have a constant power for open. Note: 1) the black with white wire above/next to the white is the only one that works. The black/white wire adjacent to the car ground wire is probably used for the mirrors. 2) the white and black/white wires are technically interchangeable. I got the same results switching between the two. 3) Patrick mentioned a green wire in the fog module that caused his dash to light up. You will need to trim/cut it so that it doesn't trip. I need to look at the USDM fog to determine which wire he mentioned. Hope this helps for anyone wanting to do power folding.
  12. I've always dreamed about having legit carbon or wood veneer interior. Carbon doesn't quite match my tan interior but super excited to see the end results!
  13. Started working on the wiring for the JDM mirrors. After talking to Patrick and Sam over on the Fifth Gen Legacy FB page, I think I have a better understanding on wiring up the power folding. We shall see, but so far here is how I was able to add the wires for both turn signal and power folding. I took apart the door panel (2 bolts), and removed the wiring loom from the door as seen below. It was not that difficult to do (unplug harness, remove the grommet from the sheet metal, there's a plastic locking cap on the fender side that needs to be removed with 3 prongs, then snake the whole wiring loom out the door). I ended up t-tapping into the turn signal wires in the foot well, and grounded to the chassis. Pictures to follow. Per Sam Wong: Wiring harness is as followed White -passenger lamp positive | driver lamp negative Green - passenger lamp negative | driver lamp positive Black/black - heater (defrost) Brown/Grey - fold in/out (switch polarity) Brown - close positive Grey - open positive Blue - mirror (switch polarity between either purple or red) Purple - negative down - positive up Red - negative right - positive left Edit: Figured which wires to tap into with images below for turn signals. Driver Side: Solid Blue for Positive (+); ground to chassis Passenger: Red with Green Stripe Wire for Positive (+); ground to chassis
  14. I like the low profile ramps. I got ones from Cusco specifically, but there are other low profile ramps available. I do however, still raise my car a little to do oil changes
  15. More random projects during these quarantine times... J's Racing Rep Diffuser for S2000. Needs a lot of trimming and trimming.
  16. Was really looking into light bars, front splitter, fog lights, and started looking at skit plates; but didn't get very far by the time I left. Edit: While we are on lockdown. Decided to complete some pending projects. First up is JDM side mirrors. I just mounted them up and repinned for heat and mirror tilt. Still need to repin/make a harness for power folding and turn signals.
  17. I rewired the lights to turn on with the ignition switch. So it's effectively DRL + Amber switch backs. I deleted the original turn signal location and added turn signal function to the high beam location. I also did a TRS D1S 5.0 retrofit so didn't need the original high beam location anyways. So... The switchback only looks good at night... Sadly ahaha
  18. Nothing really happened, just didn't like the factory WRX tow hook cover, so I decided to mold it to the bumper. It was time as the paintwork was getting a beating.
  19. As some may have noticed. The bumper is a custom bumper that I made. I basically cut the bumper in half and plastic welded it back together. I have attached my full album but some wips below: http://imgur.com/gallery/GMxewPA
